All order are shipped and I have couple sets in stock now.

Taran.J I talked to Eibach USA when I was in SEMA, I need to drop my car off for testing before they can bring the spring to the US.
I will keep you guys updated on this, I am aiming to be able to take care of this in the next week or two.

I got my 15/20s today!
Thank you Ben
Does anyone know what the recommended torque is for tightening?
The bolts loosen at about 98 ftlbs from the dealer

Factory recommend 102lbs/ft.
Since you use longer lug bolt, I recommend bumping it up another 5lbs/ft.

I installed the rears last night, looks awesome. The spacer slid right on. I did the fronts tonight, and I had a hard time getting the spacer to sit flush to the brake hat, like it was almost too shallow.
Similar I believe to what Alan experienced with the 12.5 mm spacer
Anyone else notice the snug figment ?
Btw they look awesome

15mm should sit flat to the brake hat.
Did you clean up the hub beforehand?

^^^ I had to clean up the hub with a wire brush on each corner to get them to seat properly. Once I did that, no issues.

The truck has 1700 miles not much to clean.
The rears slid on and made a clap sound
The fronts seemed to run out of sliding space 1 mm from making full contact to the hat.
I used the oem bolts direct on the spacer to squeeze it closer and still a paper thin space...
I figured if I torqued it with the wheel to 102 that it would close the gap. Seems to have worked but I will inspect further tonight.
But there seems to be no way to remove the spacer now without a hammer and chisel.

In this case I'll be fine lathering the front hubs with anti seize just to play it safe

Ok, it seems like the xDrive can't take the 15mm spacer since the hub length itself is 15mm.
One local customer came in to install a spring, when I removed the wheel, I found out the hubcentric part of the spacer broke off from the spacer.
After further inspection, then I found out it don't sit flush originally.
So far it is confirmed on the xDrive35d.
If any of you who bought it from me that have xDrive35i or xDrive50i can confirm that it is the same issue, let me know.
Take them off and I will refund you.
This customer ended up with 15mm in the rear and I am ordering 5mm for the front.
Once I got them done, I will post the picture.

I ordered and received 15 and 20 for my x50i. Why not 5 in the front with 15 in the rear? Is 10 in front and 15 in the rear not an option?

10mm doesn't leave you enough space on the hub for the wheel to sit on.

Personally, the 15mm looks perfect on the back. I have the m sport 20" wheels. The front is even ok with no spacer but a 5mm will help.

Makes sense why I couldn't put my H&R 15mm up front. Everyone thought It was installer error lol.

Wonder if it's all brand spacers will have this issue.

Alan, I think all brand will have the same issue.
Unless they make the hub separate. I saw one before, but I don't remember the brand.
