Good god your MSport X5 looks hot as #$%^!! Are the wheels heavier than stock? That would be my only concern.. but then again your rolling in a 50i so I typically don't like blacked out wheels but yours isn't really blacked out but more grayed out The color scheme goes well with your vinyl wrap... Your X5 is one of the best looking ones I have seen so far... very VERY tastefully done. I am so glad I got the Msport Line

@kkakonn, nice!!!
Now you should roll out to Bimmerfest together.
22" rides better than 20" RFT.

Thanks for the kind words fellas! I know some were interested in offset and sizes here is what i got:

20x10 +31 Semi deep 20x12 +29 Deep concave

For those who wish to have the concavity in the rear match the front, this is possible by going with a 20x10.5 up front instead. I only went with the flatter wheel front because I wanted the wheels to look staggered.

Thank you so much, The wheels are lighter than stock but I'm not sure by how much. The forgestars are rotary forged so in theory they are a bit lighter. I will weigh them with the tires next week for you.

Finally got the lowering springs on today. I purchased the AC Schnitzer springs since I don't have the self leveling rear. First impressions are extremely good. The springs are not the most aggressive drop in the world. I believe it was something like 30mm front and 20mm rear which translates to 1.2 inches front and 0.8 rear. Because of this it keeps the ride quality extremely comfortable and quite comparable to the stock ride. Not bouncey at all which I remember my old HR springs being on my 335i. Slightly stiffer but it doesn't bother me one bit, I actually enjoy it. It makes the car feel a bit more sportier. I will have pictures up shortly

I know its painful..it was rough waiting for me as well. on the phone with them twice a week at least....

the only words i could gleen is "Holy Hell, it was worth the wait."

Even tho just quoting us 4 months instead of 4 weeks would suffice, as there are no other comparable exhaust and options in the market, that we may actually wait patiently.

hold on to your seat, it was a bumpy ride, but on the other side of the hill is paradise haha

Thanks, I agree. If I had been told in the beginning I would have prepared myself. I've waited longer for parts from japan for my other car (6-8 months). Whats annoying is overtime I inquire I am told "Hey it'll arrive in 2 weeks at our location" and when that 2 weeks is up I am told that they don't know what happened and it will be another 2 weeks. This has gone on since the beginning of march.

we should just inform the forum "@Forum the preceding product will take an extended period of time to deliver as previous experience will show."

so to those moving forward, be prepared but by no mistake take this as a bash, because said product is hellishly gnarly,
