Okay, thanks mate! This my car is not so special, only; over 10year old wheels in over 10year old design body
Some extra pics, and stuf you can find from my photogallery; matson.1g.fi

No, they are just lifted so straight, as they go as standard. But at front, I remember, I did extended the upper end of the holes.
Also, the track (I dont know the right word) is adjusted in such a small as possible, at the front and rear.
Now its really good to drive. Grooves do not feel the steering wheel, even with wide tires, and it is as soft or softer than the standard m-sport (also at the rear!!), but nicely low to look good.

Thanks for the info. I enjoyed looking through your photos, your interior looks great as does the work you did on the turbo. How many NMs is your E61 making?

Yes 10 years old but the VS-XXs are classic!

The engine is far from complete, bigger intercooler is waiting for installation, and a larger commonrail pump needs to buy, etc etc.
With this configuration, it produces about 420hp and 850nm of torque. But max power comes with max rpm, not like most diesels, at lower rpm and after that power drops. This stays above the 400hp from 3500 round up to 5000, so when you are accelerating you are using more than 400hp all the time.
Turbos has so big billet wheels as possible and I have modded oem commonrail pump to produce ~ 20% more fuel, but it is not even close what I want.

Finally have a e61 wagon. Found it with 50k on it and bought the extended warranty to 100k. Within the first month the rear hatch wouldnt close. Was going berzerk opening and closing on its own. Took it back to Bmw and they told me it woukd be around 1800 to fix. I fought with then to cover it. They did which worked out well. A month later the car wouldnt engage into drive. Had it towed to BMW. Seems something in the transmission had cracked along with a needed turbo replacement. The exteneded warranty covered it all. Got lucky I purchased it. Other than that this car drives like a dream.

i may add small spacers in the rear at some point. I really wanted a square setup though. The front fit is perfect.
