Hey all!
This is my new wagon. It appeared at the last Norcal Meet 'n Greet, but there's been some mods since then!
Options the car has:
Nav
Premium Sound
Satellite
Active Cruise
Premium
Xenon
Buncha other stuff I forgot
Here's the mods list:
--19" Rial Nogaro wheels w/ General tires
--Carbon roundels
--Blackout Grille
--Painted calipers and rotors
--H&R lowering springs
--35% tint
--K&N (whatever--it actually SOUNDS better w/ the charcoal mod though!)
--Ipod OEM adapter
--//M pedals
--Progman V25.x (I gave my Service Advisor 4s once because he's bad about communication and guess who gets treated great now?)
Still want to do:
--Dinan chip, intake, exhaust (when they become available)
--M-Tech (or M5, make me a deal, Busta!) front bumper and side skirts
What do you guys think?
Oh yeah, I put my stock set of 17s and snow tires on with my rack setup in the winter....
Your thoughts/comments are appreciated!

Agreed...it does need the kit!
I'd go for some aggressive looking exhaust tips too (quads?)

good choice of mods and I like the sound of the future mods
Seeing as you have already tinted the windows and put on carbon roundels, what about also adding the Shadow Line - it could round it off nicely...?

Very nice!
With H&R springs in the front, how did you lower the rear?? I've been trying to get a practical answer to that for over a year!
Your 19" Rials - what's the offset on those? Can us 530xiT'ers assume that anything 38-43 works?
I'm tempted to order these, but want to make sure they will fit properly:

Thanks for you help and congrats on great car.

Buy the H&R fronts from allsprings.com
How to lower the rear--using a GT-1, select the vehicle. It will say "cannot do that with this vehicle" under "adjust air suspension".
Then just run all diagnostics on the GT-1, going through the motion on FLAT ground. The computer will check aspect ratio and the car will lower itself in the rear.
Call me for more info.
