First of all, thanks Hinckley for the heads-up on this. Hope that Carbon Black monster of yours is still tearing up Beantown (much like the Sox tearing up the AL East--and all of MLB for that matter...)

More importantly, Calypso, the car is beautiful.

As Hinckley knows, and you too, we have been through a lot of sh*t with this M Aero kit. It looks as though you have the '08 550 ZSP aero parts on your car.

My dealer knows nothing about the kit, so the big question is--how did you get your kit? Did they just put the parts from the 550 ZSP on your car, or is that the Aero kit that will be available to the rest of us non-550 owners?

I'd like to put one on, but need some info on how you got yours, so I can get around problems with my dealer.

Thanks in advance. Again, Hinckley, thanks for the tip.......

As a follow-up, please let me know who did the installation--the dealer or VPC, and, if you don't mind, what they charged you.... Thanks....

I will be returning to the dealer today for final ticket and cost. Some adjustments need to be made.

I will provide responses later on today.

BMW093, pm sent.

Very nice car calypsobimmer .

What exact size and brand are your tyres?

Did the trunk spoiler come with the 535i sport pack?

Daytime pics, please!

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?
Yes thay are on.. I left them black or as is from the factory..unpainted..thought it added a personal touch, and it matches the trim.

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?

Lou
Lou, I got the wheels from BMW of Newport (info is posted on this forum) good discount. I paid 2100 approx for wheels and sensors. The tires are General Exclaim UHP 245/35ZR19 (fr) and 275/30ZR19 (Rr) 622 total from tire rack.
