MVD:
I am looking forward to some new pics!
I bought the CF diffuser from forum member ///Marco.it from Italy.
Unfortunately, the diffuser is no longer available from BMW (no one knows why), so the only way to get one is to find someone that is selling theirs.

Damn, the new 3D NAV is absolutely awesome! It would be funny to use that here in Finland: all you would see is trees, lakes, a moose, maybe a small hill somewhere...
Nice looking E61!

Hilden-
What spacers did you try that resulted in rubbing?
Your tyre walls are quite high; 255/35 ... that equates to ab out 9cm (35% of 255mm). I have 275/30, which is about 8,2cm (30% of 275mm) -- and that's on 19s! Arne wrote that he runs 285/25 on his 20s, so only has a 7,1cm tyre wall. I think you would be wise to get a different tyre size next time, otherwise you may struggle with rubbing due to the height of the rim+tyre.
With regards to remaps, I recently had mine remapped and love it. I went for a reputable tuner in Germany. More info here.

Seems I need to roll fenders after all if I want to roll in style. Thanks for the remap info. Will do some more thinking about that one. Have you seen any deterioration in mileage left on your DPF after you got the remap?

Did you have them delivered to your house, or direct to the shop that mounted them to your wheels?
