Body kit first.

Obviously everyone has their own opinions, etc. but it never made sense to me why anyone would put shoes on before putting on your shirt and pants.

Unless you're a girl. Girls do that.

Wheels first. Changes the look of the car more than the kit.

With the kit, the general public will still see a stock 5 series.

Wheels first!

From my experience with modifying BMW's I'd say go ahead and get you a set of wheels that you think are the best fit.

Like one of the members said, a kit on a car that has oem 19" wheels with stock ride height is okay, but with smaller wheels, the kit doesn't do it justice.

Of course this is just my opinion!

We're having a December special on wheels + tires AND OEM Mtech kits with paint and install at our facility which is not too far from LAX.

If you have any other questions, feel free to call us.

Good luck with your decision!

Now it makes sense Simon. All the prons I've seen have girls with no clothes but for some reason they're wearing socks and shoes.


I vote wheels. While the kit may look good, you will FEEL no difference at all. At least with bigger, wider wheels and tires, you will grip the road better.

wheels gets my vote between the two, it will also stand out more than a kit
