Got my 30d, now to get the msport mods on

[AsiaKid]

I finally decided to pass on the Cayenne S when i saw a great deal on a 1 year old 30d with the exact colors i wanted (AW exterior, black interior).

I am really impressed with the torque. I was scared the engine would be weak because i used to drive a 528i (N54) and also a z4 35is (it doesnt have that kind of torque). Anyway, this feels very solid. i was surprised with how linear the acceleration was and it could keep going..so very happy with the purchase.

anyway a few questions for modding the body.

Bodykit:
I liek the msport kit (in Hong Kong to go from standard 30d to Msport costs about 25,000 USD). The bumpers are very obvious, but i am confused about the side skirts..does anyone have a close up of those? It looks like its a mix of alpine white and gloss black?

Wheels:
Anyone know where to order those 612m?

Fender /Wheel arch
wheel arch extension, do i need to get the extended arch?

Spacers:
Does anyone use them? really want to make it more aggressive..saw an amazing Range Rover vogue here lowered with nice aggressive wheels that probably was on spacers..

sorry for all the questions, and happy to be a part of the x5 group.

have no idea but am keen to get the wheel arch extensions as well. i'll have a look at compatability this weekend and see if i can figure it out.

Congrats on your 30d .

1) M aerodynamic kit - the side skirts are plain body color M-Sport skirts with black decal vinyl for the M Performance logo (that's it). http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...45&hg=51&fg=95

2) Wheels - F85 part numbers are not released yet

3) Fender/Wheel arch - they don't make a huge difference to be totally honest unless you have a staggered wheel setup where the rear wheel may knock up more dirt/grime/rocks, and I can't justify spending $140-160 per arch, which are primed (procedure done before painting - so they are not painted and that will be your extra expense to match to your Alpine White). You can try finding pre-painted alpine white arches on Ebay and may have better luck.

Parts:

51777378582 front right primed http://www.ecstuning.com/ES2714422/
51777378583 rear left primed http://www.ecstuning.com/ES2714834/
51777378584 rear right primed http://www.ecstuning.com/ES2712086/

4) Spacers - big discussion for and against these. I don't recommend going beyond 25 mm (max). Most do 15-20mm. Choose a reputable brand or you will pay the price (this is for your safety). I honestly recommend instead of getting spacers, since you're upgrading your wheels anyway, choose a bigger/wider wheels that have bigger offsets - plain and simple. Example...21x10, 21x11 or 22x10.5, 22x12. There is a lot of room to play with wheel sizes here.

Good luck.
