1) Go here: http://postimage.org/ or here: http://tinypic.com/
2) Click Go Advanced button below in Bimmerpost reply areas (wherever you're posting pics)
3) From those image websites after uploading your pic/pics, copy their direct links one at a time and paste them into the yellow mountain button in the Go Advanced section (see picture below):



4) Post your reply. That's it . You can Edit your original first post above and click Go Advanced and follow the same steps and just click Save instead also.

I know, that's why I suggested what I did . Really large attachments via paperclip icon can't be uploaded via the forum directly. However, with the method above, you are just copying a direct url from a separate website so there really is no limit to size . Here, let me show you - picture is worth a thousand words :

Edit:



(previous 4k image deleted).

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have just signed up on this forum and its requiring that I post something and wait an hour before being able to start a thread.

I have an X5 35 M package on order and I am interested in a source to get spacers, I am thinking 12mm in the front and 20 or 25mm in the back, anyone have this setup? anyone know where I can order these, ?

I am also looking to find a place in So.Fla to "tint" the tail lights, I've never done that to any car so I don't know much about it. Is that a tint that sits in the exterior like a wrap? or a tint inside? is it removable? My car will is a lease....

much appreciated

Not sure about spacers, but the rear tint is just a wrap that is applied directly on top of the rear lights. See pdawg's thread: http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...1&postcount=33.

For spacers I would recommend H&R if you want to get a hold of member r33_RGSport his shop may be able to assist you.

As for tail light tint please keep in mind if ever rear ended or you hit somebody or something from a rear angle it may not be in your favor. So personally I would say no to it as God forbid there are people just looking for a case to file against somebody. But I get it you're in Florida and its light out so people should be able to see you and you're vehicle. Just a word of advise and I hope you don't take it wrong.

Regarding spacers, I am currently running H&R 20mm fronts / 30 mm rears with the 5 spoke 20" M-sport Rims. This is a great stance and flushes out with the M-Sport fender flares.

Regarding the tail lights. I have not been happy with Lamin-x because it doesn't hold it's shape, the edges pull away and wrinkle up. I tried some cheaper film off of Amazon, and while it does work better, it's way too dark and there stil is some minor issues at the edges. After much research, the best material to use is Oracal 8300 transparent vinyl (Medium Gray). It stretches and lays down they way you would think a lens wrap should. Especially around the types of contours we have on our tail lights. I have some on order and will post up results next week.

Here's the link to the Orcal 8300 on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And here's a great your tube video showing how well it goes on. Doing the same light with Lamin-X would have taken twice as long.

I have H&R 20mm Fronts / 30mm Rears on the M setup. IMO it is the only way to go. I will get pics up this week. Promise!

Nice pics. Lovely neighborhood. It's interesting how the 20s look small in photos but in real life they're massive along with their beefy tires
