The X5M bumper has a bit of a built-in lip that I like. The F15 BMW Motorsport lip is nice, but I feel it works best with other mods done first, like larger wheels, slight drop, etc.

My dirty girl has been dashing through the snow up here in the Midwest. She needs a bath after my road trip to North Carolina for the holidays.

They are the style 449 orbit gray 19". I swapped them from an xline on the lot for my luxury line rims. I like the look better.

Also, have you considered lowering on H&R springs ? Liam thinking to drop my m sport on the H&R springs and go with the 599m replica 22" wheels.

Ps- what % is your front tint?

Thanks! I wasn't sure how the Style 375s would look since you don't see them too often, but love the way it turned out. The Michelin tires are a really good match also. They are OEM 21".

I probably won't lower it. If I was going to do it, it would not be H&R since I hear the ride quality isn't the best. She drives great with the current setup, so I'm going to keep it that way.

My front windows are 25% and the rest of the vehicle is 3%.

thanks for the info ! car looks freaking sharp! i had H&R OE springs on my S4, it was a bit bouncy but not thaaaat bad, but iam having a really hard time thinking about sacrificing the current oem ride comfort as well.

And the boxed-up X3 (?) in the background!
BMW must be the sole sponsor for this resort. Need more snow there apparently though.

The gondola did, but the snow didn't!

That said, the drive into the Alps was amazing. I always like driving my BMWs through their hometown of Munich, even if they weren't all built there.

Also posted a video on this, but I may eventually take it down in time, as I am a fairly private person :P
