They kind of curve with the shape of the bumper cutout. I've seen some put the straight non staggered tips and they look too much sticking out.

Very true. I have the staggered M ones and they still aren't staggered enough for our bumpers. But I still love em 🖤


And I see that X6 in the garage 👀👀

They are definitely nice, my first choice. But I was afraid of that. Yes x6 is wife's. She won't let me do projects on it unfortunately haha

I've only seen the mid boot spoiler on the G05 x5 maybe they have a bigger gap so it doesn't go over onto the glass

I do believe the SuperSprint tips have a much higher stagger and fit our bumpers very well, but you're also paying a premium price for them. I have some Amazon staggered tips that fit very similar to blackoutF15 and I'm partial to them. They look good from the back, but the side profile still stick out too far for my likes.

There are 2 types from what I've seen. The G05 one (Renegade style) does not have the little "hooks" that curve up. I don't know why they make this one with them instead of just a straight line

Looks so good! Very unique in a good way. Did you ever get the BC coilovers? It looks lower but I can't really tell from the camera angle.

lol bottom out indeed. I'd go with the stiffer BC springs. I'm kicking myself for not.

Should I get the CF side skirts to complete the look? All CF is OEM BMW, and there are no OEM CF sideskirts

I have the OEM cf front and rear too. I know the side isn't but it doesn't matter to me as long as you get good quality ones. They definitely add more depth and width to the car

I think they would look nice. I also hesitated as they aren't OEM, but if you are going for OEM+, they will be a nice addition. I may do them myself.

You won't be able to tell the difference between RW Carbon and OEM.

Remind me again on tire/wheel size… looks great and on the fence if I should go 21/22. Thanks and well done, your brake setup is perfect too.

Thanks for that! Got the m50d brakes at the minute. Thinking about drilled rotors and powder coating the callipers. Back are a little small though I'd like to go a bit bigger

I always try to steer folks away from drilled and instead get slotted if going purely for aesthetics. For performance slotted or blanks is the way to go. I've seen too many drilled rotors develop cracks between the holes.
