Fortunately for us xi owners, H&R has a coil-set that is due for release in mid August. They have kits for the 3 series and the X5's, so it was only a matter of time before they made one for ours. This will take care of the wheel gap, without adversely affecting the AWD system. Once it becomes avail, you would never know the difference. It just came out of R&D last month and is in production for release 8/15/06.

Is it common to leave the limo chrome around the windows on the M-sport DIYs?

He does not have the Sport package. That is why he has chrome trim.
That's why I asked the queston about the choice people make when doing DIY upgrades.
My view is that the sport and limo looks don't mix. YMMV.
