Why are you hesitating? Just do it! It makes the car look so much cleaner

Those wheels suit the car so well! Are they a straight bolt on?

Yes, but not shipping them. Brand new, literally 67 miles on them. Let me know.

Yes, I love them. I am really looking to get this look, but I have lowered cars on springs before and had NIGHTMARES with getting the alignment correct so I am hesitant.

Love the Wheels! I plan to try to negotiate a set in to the deal when I order my X5 M-Sport. Hopefully I can come out on top.

Well I headed out to the garage to debadge both of the side markings and I'm not real thrilled. I have debadged other cars with no problems and while the lettering came off perfectly fine, the passenger side looks as if they put the emblem on while the paint was still wet and the lettering actually has made a small indentation in the clearcoat. I tried Goo Gone on and also buffing it which helped a bit but you can still see the outlines of where the lettering used to be. I will try and take a picture and post it on here later but for those thinking of making this move, don't be surprised if the paint below is not as pristine as you might hope!

Wow that is a first I've heard of that happening.
Yeah take a pic and post it when you get a chance.

I am hesitant also. The only springs I've yet to read anything bad about are the Eibachs.

Congrats on the new purchase, and good choice on the 21's. I was considering the upgrade as well, but couldn't justify the price on new.

I opted for the ACS springs/links, and have been very happy with them. Stance and ride is great. To me, along with H&R spacers (20mm rear / 15mm front)...this is the way the X5 should ship from factory.

I have a couple, but they're not the greatest. PM me and I can e-mail you some, and take some more.
