The car was dirty but I have no time to clean it or bring it to wash, in last days .
Imho every 166 weights 3 Kg less than a 124 wheel .
And Pilot Sport 2 (wonderful!) weigh, each one, at least 3-4 Kg less that Dunlop Runflat .
Thus I think I have gained 20-30 Kg on the four wheels and I feel the difference, in acceleration and turning the steering .
It seems a different car when cornering!!
Comments ?
I am also thinking over to change the front bumper with M5 bumper :

your car looks great
m5 bumper is nice but the m tech is also nice.I would keep it like that because you have m5 wheels and mirrors.with m5 bumper arent you posing a little?But its your car and if you like go for it.It will look great. no doubt about that.

No, no, not for posing ... The M5 front bumper is better than Mtech, imho .
In any case, it is not urgent change the front
.Airducts ?
What are they ?
Are they difficult to moding ?

. M5 rear would look nice 
Car looks better with the 166's on
. But i shouldn't go for M5 front bumper. Like ats said the difference is not that big + you loose the fog lights. Why do that 4?

Fog lights ... I have just bought from car-gym the HBH format 4700K fogs to replace the original and I have to mount them
.For the fact of loosing fog lights you and ats are right ..

Hi wowe!
I think I will mount the M5 front, because I can give back my M-tech to my dealer (now many 5er have M aero kit and someone will do an accident, so the dealer can use it on another car) .
Imho with 3-400 euros I can get the new bumper, painted and mounted .
For the rear I'm not sure about I have to do, if m-tech or M5 : the main problem would be the exhaust (with M5 bumper I would need 4 pipes at the rear) .
In next weeks I will make something and I will keep you update!
