Hey everyone, I have been on the road for a while. My 535i has been at the dealer for the past 10 weeks. Took delivery on 3/21. I pre-ordered the M-kit, and 167 wheels so that I would get delivery all at once. The wheels mods got done but the kit did not. Of course, only to find out afterdelivery that the pre-ordered kit would not work. The dealer and BMW AG, were finally able to get a kit for my car last week. The night-vision option caused a lot of delay, since that part was also not available to us in the US. Here is a couple pics..it's dark; will post more, along with part numbers for the kit. After three months still only 700 miles on the dash.

Looks great!
What boot/trunk spoiler do you have there, because its not the standard M-Sport version? Is that "the other one" from the BMW OEM catalog?
Looking forward to seeing pictures of the car in the light - I bet those M167s look great with the space-grey paint

Outstanding! The pictures in the low light are great. The more I see the 167's with space gray, the more I like them. The car looks menacing with them!
What was your overall cost of adding the M-kit and new wheels/tires, if I may ask?

Nice ride there.. Love those 167M Wheels alongside with the M Sports bodykit. Looks great. Did you get the M-Sport Suspension as well? Is just me or what that the PDC sensors are not on yet?
