I was actually about to ask if that what a huge blue BBK behind those 19's.

There are pics of mine with 469 M Wheels and Eibach springs in my Mod Thread (link in sig).

Those are not 469M wheels, here the are:

I know that, read it again, I said there are pics of them in my Mod Thread.
I posted pics because this thread has turned into a discussion lately.

Carry on…

Same setup for summer and winter. Each year when I make the switch to the 19's, I appreciate how quiet they are compared to the OEM Dunlop RFT's not to mention ride quality.

Interesting, that much difference between 19's and 20's? Though your 19's are non-run flats and the 20's are run flats?

I can feel zero ride difference and road noise difference between my 20's for winter and 21's for summer. Both sets are non-run flat Michelins.

If only I had room to store a winter/summer setup.

I don't know of anyone on this forum that changed out their struts when they had Eibach springs installed, and I'm pretty sure I found every thread on there where someone mentioned or posted pics of these springs as I wanted to be sure it's what I wanted.

+1 on those same pedals. Good value for appearance.

The Eibach is perfect if you want to trim away some of the unnecessary wheel gap but don't want the slammed look. Body roll is reduced, as well as the bounciness over uneven road surfaces - that's what bugged me the most. Pair them up with some spacers to complete the look!

Here's mine on Eibach springs w/ 5/15 spacers.

I want to reduce some wheel gap and have the Adaptive M Sport. Would changing the springs mess with the set up?

Here's a shot of mine from over the weekend -- love seeing another similarly built X5 jiggz

Looks good!

I don't think the Eibach springs will work with Adaptive M as that's a self leveling suspension. Hit up Ben at RG Sport, one of our vendors here, there are other options for your X5.

Chrome deleted and painted reflectors.

While I'm visiting my parents in Northern Virginia, had the good folks at RRT do a Transfer Case service and Oil Change. Happy to report the stuttering symptoms have subsided after the tcase service. Reasoning for it was since the car had factory 19" Style 449's at purchase then went to 20" Style 451's with shitty run flats, then new DWS's on the 20s, I wanted to give it a reset. Guys at RRT said it was good to do too and I figured fresh fluid was warranted even though it's only at 36k miles.

Also lots of eye candy in their parking lot.

Awesome bro! I'm right behind you on this service. I went from 19's to 22's so I'm sure my TC is like "WTF".

That LSB E46 M3 in the background

That was one of 4 e46 m3's in that lot lol. And I made sure to test it on a bunch of WOT pulls on the hour drive home and nothing to report. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I'm glad your ride is riding smoothly now!

I've posted this before in here, but I'll post it again. Bought her stock w/ 48K miles on it and built her myself. Owned her for 10 years before deciding to sell to pay off some wedding debt. Miss her dearly w/ each day that passes! As you can tell, I'm not scared of a lowered ride

sukhk527 · 09-08-2021, 12:55 PM

Rogue wheels. Sort of a DPE knockoff wheel. First mod I did was the wheels back in 2006. Wanted to change them out toward the end of ownership, but decided not to.

The leaves are starting to turn here in the Pacific Northwest.

Got a surprise when I removed driver's side mirror cover to install sequential led turn signals.

Wow! That is one truly beautiful car. It looks amazing and special. It's becoming much rarer to see such beautiful mods. At least for me…
