i have recently gotten an 06 530i, has a sports package and the premium package too. its an auto but no biggie. this is my first post s well as my first BMW. no i have a tendency to buy vehicles that are really difficult to mod. i would like to lower it with the Rd kit, but i do believe this will void my warranty.... i would like to get some chrome mesh rims... my cars black and pics soon..... with a big lip in the rear and smaller lip in the front, also heard this may void my warranty? i would like to put the m5 bumper on. as far as the show, thats it, now for the go... i would like to put a turbo kit on, better exhaust and have really no clue as to who to go with, also if it voids my warranty then i think it al might have to wait... i have heard alot of jargon being thrown around as to the lci and pre- lci. what is it, im figuring something about lights which is another thing that i like to mod. any suggestions guys, who to go with for all this stuff. im in north county san diego. hope to hear from you guys on this.

i was also wandering about wheel size.... im gonna go with a 19' rim but for the width, the tire guy wants to do a 9.5 in the rear and an 8.5 in the front... i think i can go wider... whats the widest i can go without having to roll fenders. id like to go x10 in the rear and x9.5 or 9 in the fornt..... advice please!

Depending on the offset but you definitely can go 9.5 up front and 10 in rear. I suggest going 8.5 up front and 10 rear if you get those sick concave style.

Didn't see those pics before I replied. With those style, either one is fine but get 10 rear and possibly push it out with a spacer unless you're planning to lower your ride in the future.
