SWEET! thx!!!

It appears that M5 19" wheels are not going to work out

However, I also really like, and ultimately prefer, the idea of an 18", to maintain durable tire sidewall, but wider. So, I am hoping to try the style 89 18" x8/9 ET 20/32

well, the front "sticks out" an extra 23mm, which I know is ok considering how far under the oem 18x8 are now.

the rear will only stick out 24mm more, which also seems fine. I may need to get fenders rolled.

I don't understand the big deal up front but the car is not where I am now and I haven't seen the front fender/tire area in three months so I'll update upon more investigation.

A weird thing is the BMW accessories section, for 2008 535 xi wagon, shows the 89 in staggered fitting for the car.... seems odd.

Lovely looking cars guys!

I've recently purchased an 08 e61 and want to tint the back windows. I see a few of the pics here show it done. Can anyone advise the best way to achieve this? Also, what percentage tint is best?

Thanks.
