My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Just got an email from the seller... yadda yadda yadda, long story short, I can't pick them up this weekend... and it is looking like next weekend is out for me as well, so another two weeks to wait for them 
Actually, I'm not that pissed, because I'm not planning to mount them before the end of the winter anyhow, but the whole thing is like grrrr
anyway, just venting...

They don't even have tires yet - I wanna be absolutely sure they are indeed 100% new condition (as seller described) before I order the Falkens 
The offsets are ET35, so they'll hopefully be nice and flush on the Xi. I'll use my 12.5mm spacers in the back to compensate for non-staggered setup.
I still need to do a few other mods to finish it off - paint a couple of things here and there, get black chrome grilles, figure out if I wanna drop it or not... which I most definitely do want to, but definitely don't want to get KW's and the Bilstein B8's aren't available in the States. I've annoyed the Bilstein lady so much at this point, that she doesn't even answer my emails lol

I'll wait to install them until the winter is over, road salt is gone and potholes are fixed (though with the NYC budget as it is these days, that day may never come ). These BBS's are in perfect condition - I bought them from a member over on e46fanatics forums (btw I've gotta give props to Calton for originally putting me on that path some two years ago - Thanks, C 
) anyway, the previous owner had them refinished and never put them on. The paint finish is perfect, and I really love the color. Wish it was powdercoated - not painted though.
Two of the three pieces of the puzzle are here: wheels, and spring. Remaining: 36mm dampers and some sticky summer tires.
