haha ill do the same, i work in Brooklyn so I'm around there too..
The ride is fine actually. You'd think it would be absolutely terrible but its not. I mean, you realllly have to be careful and vigilant watching the roads and avoiding potholes. The suspension drop is really what made the ride change, much stiffer than stock, but feels great. the ride on the stock RFT's was rougher than 22" wheels with minimal sidewall (30 front 25 rear) believe it or not lol....those RFT's are rough !

Oh really, nice! When I was ordering the car, I read a lot of people saying the 20s with RFTs were too harsh, but so far I've found it more comfortable than my previous 2010 S4 on 18s. Looking forward to switching out to DWS06s' now. Nice, I'll take a pic parked next to you if I see you lol

They look pitiful in 20" and they don't make 21", so 22" is really the only choice. Personally, I thought it was the best wheel for the E70.

I know its hard to believe but the ride on 22"s non RFT tires is actually BETTER and smoother than stock 20" RFT tires. The only time 22"s feels slight harsher is over rough consecutive bumps. The only other thing is you have to be more careful with a thinner sidewall from curbs and potholes but ride quality wise its a non issue. I would imagine you wouldn't have any problems down in florida.

Hi guys. Newbie F15 owner here. Took a random (sorry it's off-angle) shot of my 'stable' yesterday. 2015 F10 LCI 535i & 2015 F15 x35i. Picked up the F15 last week.

Still working on mods on both cars, mostly the X5 though. Getting my 599s for her in next week-- SUPER excited!

Shout out to all the awesome people on this forum for giving me ideas & inspiration

A little foam action after the pre-soak.

Have you seen those videos where they literally cover the car with snow foam as thick as shaving cream?

I'm able to get close to the thickness, but it doesn't hang around too long, starts sliding off the paint pretty fast.

I use CG's HoneyDew for the foam and Poor Boys Super Slick & Foam for the initial pre-soak.
