Absolutely awesome choice of colours and spec. I previously had the LCI 525dA and thought it was a great drive, especially with the new Auto. I had a bi-colour leather combination, but not as nice as your Individual Merino through, definitely one of my favourites. Enjoy and hope to see more of you here in the (E61) Forums!
That car looks different in every shot! Great pics and its amazing how different light changes the look of the car so much with your black and red rims. Thanks for sharing.
p.s. Lucky the stag did get to close to the car with those antlers, unlike the cow that took a liking (or should I say "licking") to Patrick's door handle

They've proposed me to perform a summer check, thing for which I think it's always good to go for. We never know! Bingo! They gave me a call in the morning to tell me those brakes in the front and in back had to be changed...!? WTF...!? I've bought this car in February as a BMW Premium Selection and since then, I drove 15.000kms with it. Furthermore, and here is the craziest thing with this story, the board computer was stating the brakes should be changed in 40.000kms in the back and in 20.000kms in the front...!? But how is this possible? Did they modify the displayed value when I bought the car? Anyway, after the check, they have now respectively 17.000 & 10.000kms to go. It makes a huge difference... So, before this issue has been solved, I won't do anything regarding the spacers.
And I will take benefit of this delay to clarify how big the spacers to be installed on my car can be! So, to answer your question xBMWx, I was initially running style 138 rims with an ET20 (225/50/17), and I'm now running style 184 rims, also with an ET20 (245/40/18). These set has been installed on the four corners. So, could you tell me where could I find a method to calculate the maximal width of the spacer, or, if you know those values, to give me them directly!
Otherwise, I already took an appointment with Hartge for the end of October. I'm going to make them chiptune my engine (177HP -> 212HP, 410Nm -> 480Nm) and to lower my car of around 30mm. In the future, I will probably go for an exhaust. We will see..! First the brakes, then the spacers, then the chiptunning and the lowering. ;-)
Have a nice week-end and take care.

I had a similar issue with my brakes -- basically the car had been standing at the dealership for too long and the pads needed changing --- they did this free of charge because the simply (deliberately??) missed it before handing it over to me. Maybe similar issue you have.
I'll get back to you with the spacers question.
That Hartge remap sounds great, as well as the lowering. (You could actually get them to calculate what the maximum spacer would be conjunction with the lowering they are going to be doing for you
)Good luck getting all that sorted

Love these E61s, very inspirational mods!
Great combo with the AW and black wheels
Love these wheels as well. Which ones are they?
Thought I'd throw a little black and white in the mix...
and something to entertain the backseat drivers..Attachment 79418

Great looking E61! Your Individual leather is perfect with the exterior color.
Post more pics when you have time!
