M167+M tech kit

your pm replied today btw :)

Payment sent for the kit. You have PM.

By the way, that wagon looks great. That isn't AWD though is it? I am finding it is tough to find wheels for this car! Does anybody have any pics of an E61 with AWD with wheels and tires, BBS or BMW or any other for that matter. Another question, can you lower these cars or will it mess with the AWD? Don't want to do anything that would affect the car negatively.

Just ordered 18" BBS RS-GT wheels with Diamond Black centers for the wagon today. I will post pics when they are mounted.

That is true. I don't know why but wagons over here have a stigma attached to them. Everybody buys SUV's, which I believe is nothing more than a wagon on too much growth hormone. Women (my wife included) also want SUV's, no minivans or wagons. I absolutely love the wagon. Of course, I had a Mini too which attracted it's own share of snide comments and laughter, I would just laugh and accelerate away from them. :D I have a feeling it will be very similar in the wagon.


Here's why I'm getting another wagon...

The 124's like on the one above are probably the only OEM 18's that will fit your xi, as long as they are the 124's especially made for the xi. There are 2 versions. The 19" OEM 166, 167 & 172's will not fit the xi...wrong offsets.

Do a search on the E61 xi for wheels, and you should find something. I know the CSL replica 19's like mine will fit, but I think you have to go with the 245/35/19's on all 4 vs. the staggered setup. Do some checking. Good luck! Looks great!

Also, check this link for JBeene's E61 with CSL's.....

Most BMW wheels made for the 3-series will fit if you have a X-wagon.

My wheels on the picture below are 19" Italian (EtaBeta Tettsut) non staggered with 235/35 wintertyres.
Will probably go for staggered setup on the summerwheels.

Those are very nice. I just picked up my touring after having the BBS wheels installed. 19" wheels would have probably looked better but I like the practicality of the 18" wheels. I will post pics tomorrow after I clean it up.

How do you mean? The ET is not the same, is it?
