Lomag's dead post coming back to life did some changes lol...see my recent post M166 vs M172 ...
Got it ! As I said to you before I personally like the look of the 172's over the 166's but I wanted to change up the look from my 07 550 . Good luck, either way your car will look fantastic !!

Tires are 245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear.

Peter, the car has the regular sport suspension. The wheels seem to fill out the wheel wells more nicely eventhough their diameter is the same as my prior #124 wheels and yes, I added the M-Aero kit about a year after buying the car. I think i'm done changing things now.
Great look Lomag, as you know I am a Bluey too. I have similar setup with the 166's but got the wrong tires for the rear (2week old tire ). Have Falkens 275/35/19 in the back and rim sticks out from sidewall. I am now looking for some 285/30/19's for the rear.

Oh, did you have any color match issues when you ordered your MTech aero kit? I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a kit in the next day or so. Would like to get it painted out the box but some have said color match issue. Thanks have a good day

Hi Lomag, I like the blue beauty. I am trying to get mine Forum Ready. The meet/greet last weekend was great. Only two Blue 5ers though (me and DBU).

Hey I think I have some serious tire issues. I bought a set of Falkens last week. I put my M5 166's on and the rim is protruding beyond the tire sidewall.

I have 245/35/19 in the front and 275/30/19 in the rear, just like most post in the forum says. Is it the Falkens? should I get a different type of tire? Looks like you are running 285/30/19 on the rear, do you think that will work for my 530i MY05 Sport package?

here are some pixs.
