Looking great!
What size of tires you are driving and is your car dropped?
I have ordered 8.5 & 10 X 20" TSW Sakata wheels to my E61 and i?m wondering what kind of tyres i should order.
My car is with sport pack but not M-sport.

My car is not dropped just M-sport suspension. (I think 20mm lower then non M-sport)

Then there is hope getting it done well! I tinted our last 530d at a shop in town, it was a pretty good job, but between the small black dots on the boot and second rear door windows it was air (do you understand what I'm trying to say?). Did your 'guy' manage to fix that?

I think (have to look but I?m quite sure) my car haven?t got any bubbles or air what so ever!
And I think I understand about the black dots on the windows...
Been tinted windows myself but I?m not as good as my tint guy!
He did the rear boot window 3 times before he was satisfied
You can often "push" some air between the film and window out after a day or two.
Then you get the air around the black dots out!

Hej Deeman
Nice pics! Looks good. The wheels look great
. How does it go with 20" wheels compared to standard 17", worse, same, better?
Be careful when driving late at night, it's still ice out there!
I'm still unsure which wheels to pick for summer..

Hej Tommi!
I had the M135 with Run on flat tyres on as standard wheel.
And had non RFT winter tyres on them right now so I cant compere to 17".
But I think the ride is quite smooth with 20" but if you prefere a comfort ride go 19" with the higher tyre = better comfort!
But if you like me could take a little "stiff" ride go 20?s. The look is better and I think with the big hole for the wheels (wheel arches??!) 20" will fill the hole best.
Have a lillte rule that works for me...
Go 2 inches more then your standard rim and i will look fine!
Had 17" with 225/45-17 standard wheels on my Saab 9-5 aero and put on 19" BBS challenge with 235/35-19

There was the difference bigger! more road noise and more siffer ride.
Will be careful!
If the weather is cold I?ll take our second car with winter tyres on!
Renault Kangoo or "The Ape Taxi" as one of my friends call it!
