My Ride: 2006 Titanium Silver 550i, with all the bells and whistles!!
Thanks for the positive feedback! got some more mods on the way! sorry about the pics, not sure how to Stack em??
You know what? I get it! I never understood the need to drop and put on bigger wheels. Now I get it. I came out of a coffee shop the other day and was admiring my cars new shoes and it clicked. I said to myself..."should have gone with the 166's, and man does this car need to be dropped!" Stopped, gave my sleeper the once over, and thought..."I need to get rid of the badge now too!"
this is becoming an expensive hobby!

I mounted some 124's with Dunlop runflats today. Big improvement over the 17" 116's that came with my car. I love the staggered look. The runflats are definitely louder, but the handling is nice. The 116's are dedicated winter tires now.
I have to give my car a good wash and take some pics with, but here are some from today that I took part way through for comparison. Let me know what you think?
I also changed all the roundels from Blue & White to Black & White a while ago.
