nice photoshop guys but you forget that you made the wheels way to big (like 19") and you have the lower M tech suspension as well so it looks nice on the pics but in reality it might not be that cool... small wheel, huge gap between fenders
tim - not to sound mean but isn't it better to start with a nice wheels first, (does not need to be 166), where the wheels are a much more visualy and performance wise noticeable thing then some spoilers?
and when budget allows you you can get the M tech body kit later....
I mean what is the point of the M kit with 17" slim rims?
just an oppinion wthout any offense

Well Peter if you look good i just took the rims and hold the same size like the ones already installed on mhoutmans e61... So i don't really see why they may look to big :'(. But ok, that could be true. That is the only thing i can't really know...
I have 17" winters and trust me there is much more rubber than on the pic of Mhoutman's car
and again the car is lowered more than a standart susp one

. I thought if i take the same measurements that it would be 'realistic' but if you say it...
Didn't timlwting said he wanted the sport pack so the lowering included?

either way my general point was that the ///M tech, especialy without the lowered susp. one, might not be a great idea with the 138 wheels if money is the issue.... nice 18 - 19" wheels on a standart car will look better overall then a Mtech body kit with standt susps on 17".
yet again, just an idea for the guy to consider.....

yes the Mtech if ordered as an factory option for a brand new car production has a lowered suspension with it..... at least in Europe.....comes with M wheel. 135 wheels as well price around 4000EUR I think.... for that option

yeah... i get your point .. i was thinking about getting the m aero kits frist and bigger wheels later ..
but i guess it is true that 17" wont look too good with the big sporty aero kits
btw .. nop i dont have sports package my car is just a normal 525i with nothing special in it

Ow yeah i forgot that he will place the kit afterwards so yes indead the lowering will be out of the question.
If already on delivery, the car is a little bit lowered or am i so wrong?
And yes of course, i would leave the rims too. It sure looks good.
