My Ride: 2010 535 xi - M Sport Pkg & other goodies
Yeah, sweet! Do you have details on the parts you just got, like the wheels, tires, and spacers?
IIRC, DCI's on the E90 weren't proven to do much in some testing people did (can't recall if they only would be good if you did lots of tracking or what, but they weren't helpful in all situations, the stock airbox was quite good people were surprised), did you research if there were any real gains?

As for wheels and tires I know all the specs as I worked out the offsets my self ...
Fronts are 20x9 ET35 w/ 225/30/20 (might change these to 235/30/20 depending on how they fit)
Rears are 20x9 ET35 w/15mm spacers (making an effective offset of ET20) w/ 235/30/20

My Ride: 08 535xiT - Sapphire Black / Beige
Would you hurry up and put those rims on your car already!! Trying to decide between Gunmetal V710s and V701s on my sapphire black. NOT that either are available right now in the size I'm looking for but dying to see what they look like on your ride.

Tomorrow night Im installing the wheels/tires, and coilovers. I think I should be able to get it all done tomorrow night only thing that might hold it back is rolling the fenders to make the wheels fit.

Got the wheels and tires installed last night along with the KW Var3.
I need to order different tires for the front wheels and move them on the back and mover the rears to the front as they are just too small. One pot hole and I'm screwed, and I have enough fender clearance to fit bigger tires under them.
Also I think I can run a 5mm spacer in the front and rear over all, but Im going to wait till I get the M5 fenders on as im guessing I can use the 15mm spacer from the rear up front and then just buy a new 20mm spacer for the rear.
Still need to do some touch up stuff today like add in the center caps, put some double stick tape on the lic plate frame so it doesnt stick up, and possibly adjust the height a little bit more.
