hopefully I won't need them at all with my setup. Just in case if I will need, I will be prepared.

Parts start coming in. First one is the tiniest one. Mirror covers.
I learnt that twopiece mirror covers are the best (front and rear). One piece is a crap (@ least in my experience, I purchased it first, then returned, it was not nice thing). Replacing 2 piece is a bit more complicated and I would shut off the battery but I took my risk here and just unplugged the cables: 360 camera, heat and obstacle sensor and it worked out. This time. Ended up with these, just black gloss in my case. |

While I was purchasing items for X5 conversion on Alibaba,
I found conversion liftup kit for F10 to M5 F90 Post LCI / CS including bumpers, fenders, hood, headlights, taillights, skirts, spoiler, grille, mirrors, digital cluster, steering wheel (I already have 12.3 inch display instead of original) and etc. very, very interesting. It doesn't look silly (as some kits do), the only difference in minor shape of the rear taillights which come with the kit as well. I stopped investing into my F10 thinking it's time to sand it, repaint same color, buff it and storage but seems like I may come back to to this project after seeing the results. Probably a bit later because I still work on my 1968 fastback conversion and now X5 but I know for sure I will go back to this subject no later than summer.

As any Y spoke it doesn't look good without large brakes which are coming (~3 weeks to wait), just wait a bit and will look rad.
also, lowering links came in, planning to install them on Saturday. |

I got very confused Rear tires on your picture is 315 but you saying it's 11.5 in the rear. I got 11 rear (which should be more narrow) with 315 tires but... it looks stretched stage 1-2, not sure whyyyyyyy |

That's interesting. Must be in the difference in the makeup of the sidewall. What aspect ratio? 30?

yes it is. huh, scraped the rear left wheel because of that. now it bugs me, will re-order. Are you absolutely positive that your rear was 11.5? It feels like it was 10.5 or even 10 because it is literally way more narrow tire for 11.5 |

OP, what brand tires are you running? Not all tire manufacturers have the same side wall appearance. It’s hard to tell with your dark pictures but looking at the shape of the side walls are you running Michelins? The other guy is running Continentals. I’ve used both brand tires but if I had to choose, Michelins to me have a better looking side wall as long as the size/fitment is correct. I don’t mind a little stretch look but yours seems a little too much. You should consider the next size up width.
