I have added a 20mm spacer on the rear rim.
I think now is looking good!
Please comment!

Yeah that looks good, but I'd be leary of using spacers if they're not needed for fitment.

Do you have a staggered setup and do you have the correct offset to begin with?

Bre Ced: Remember when I asked you a while ago about installing the Breyton kit. I asked you if you needed to rais the car in order to install it.
Well I was just reading that post and my question was "Did you need to change the suspension and rais the car higher"
You probably thought I meant "did you need to rais it up during installation?"

Anyway did you need to change the suspension?

Also do you know of any company that sells the M5 kit

heezy545i: I just did a four wheel aligment while I lower the car <Eibaeh spring>. Yes, I know if a bad quality built spacer is installed, the car might stagger after a while. As of now, my car is runing fine. Hopefully i will have no problems with it.


Desert530: No, i don't have to change the raise up the car, my car is NO SPORT PKG. What i just did is install an Eibaeh Spring. It lower the car by 30mm both front and rear. I still feel that the rear can go a bit deeper!! I understand your concern, the front lip is abit too low! Some parking lot, very high slope, the front lip will hit the road! I really hate it!!
I don't think the M5 body kit is released yet, not until next year.

Your car looks nice and sharp Bre ced. I also have a set of breyton magic exactly like yours, but mine is for E46. Do you think they can be fitted to my E60 without spacers?

thanks in advance.

The e46/e36 have a standard offset of around 40mm while the five series has an offset of 20mm or less.

Due to this difference, the wheels would fit with the use spacers and longer wheel bolts, but it is not recommended.
