Thanks for the compliments guys. I think my next mod is going to be this Autologic tune that my indie mechanic is trying to talk me into. He claims a 40 ft./lb. of torque and 20 HP increase can be had for "around $500". They put my car on a dyno, hook up the Autologic machine, run it out, then send the info to Autologic, who creates a tune specifically for my car. Then we go to their site, download the tune and load it to my car. He said he hadn't been able to talk anyone into it yet. I'd say $500 for those numbers is not too bad if they can be achieved...
Anyone out there tried that tune?

Wow nice. Hey I got the hub rings and no more vib. Even at 100 mph smooth as factory ride. But I'm really trying to get oem 166's. I sprayed calipers black and hubs black as well looks clean. Will add BMW stamp on calipers this weekend also installed black grill looks nice. Will upload pics soon. Thanks Guy' s for all the info.

My Ride: Modded 2010 Carbon Black M5 SMG and Modded 2008 Dinan 550i Sport
Attached you'll see the setup on my 06' 530 with Sport Suspension.
Wheels are OEM 166's 19 x 8.5 Front and 19 x 9.5 back
Tires are:
Front: Continental DW's 245/40/19
Rear: Sumitomo ZIII's 285/35/19
My fronts rub a little if i encounter a deep dip, but it's not too bad, and i think if i can get a little of the tread off, i won't have that issue anymore. I had some 12.5mm spacers on the rears, but those rubbed slightly when i got the new rubber on the back so I took them off. I might give them another try after the tires wear a little. Generally happy with the setup, the Continentals are a little soft on turn in, but I wanted some rim protection for my beauties! Thinking about 255/35/19's next time around, but I hope by then to have some KW Street Comfort coilovers installed to elimanate the gap that will leave...

Did you add Sport suspension? The car definitely does not have the sport front end, side skirts or rear end. Or was it available in this setup as part of a Sport/Premium? I had an '04 545i that had sport front end from the factory and my '08 550i has full MTech Sport kit from the factory. Just curious. Looks great though.

. I have no issues with the 285/35's on the back, and I think they look just right.
