Another solution would be to get H&R 10mm spacers for about $90. That will help fill in the wheel well. It is exactly what I'm doing to my car as we speak. In addition, I'm lowering 1.3"(front) and 1.2"(rear) with H&R Sport Springs. Will post pictures after I get my car back.

M5 wheels fit fine...M5 wheels/with M5 tires do not fit. What kind of tires and size are you planning on using?

thanks to all for the info.

you guys are awesome!

Jiio, your ride already looks really low. I was thinking about getting the sport spring myself, but I don't know if it would be too low with the M-kit. Plus I was wondering if the ride was going to suffer. Post some pics when you get it done. I'm interested to see how it looks and how it rides. Going back to EuroRev to get it done? I'm going this Saturday to get my M-kit and 166m wheels installed. Can't wait.

My pictures are misleading. If you were to see my car in person, I can show you the gap in the rear wheel wells. It bugs me to no end. Normally, people will not notice but then again I am anal and I see EVERYTHING on my car. Ummm... except for when the stupid tire shop put my tires on backwards when I first got fitted with the Toyos. But, thanks to the folks here for pointing it out to me.

The H&R Sport springs I'm getting installed will only drop it 1.3" in the front and 1.2" in the rear. I will be posting a report as to how the car rides with it lowered and pictures of course.

I will not be getting it done by Eurorev. They're too far away from me. I've got a local independent BMW shop here in San Diego to do it.

Be sure to post your pictures after the installation of the M-Tech kit and 166s.
