Thank you!
Thanks! I am glad it all worked out. I could have ended up with some very expensive paper weights if i didn't like the HREs Quote:
Glad to get your stamp of approval Alan

Yes - Subtle drop really really transformed the way the car looks. Ride quality is slightly better than stock. Def. not worse.
I would do it over again without a doubt. I hated how this car always looked like it was on shipping blocks before the MSS kit. Granted I know its a SUV but there is a problem when nobody else in this class of suv has anywhere as much wheel gap as these cars. Alan

great pics alan, love that you've captured so many different angles of the MBB X5MC. the colour is just so nice, and for me is THE colour for this car, it seems to just look good from any angle. when i wash & dry thoroughly (OCD wheels clean, plus brush work, maybe some tooth-picking work, tyre dressing ... the full works!) and stand back to admire the car, i wonder if it looks too good to drive!
your pics have answered my question on another thread about whether the 22s in the front would be possible, and look good ... they look great. i must say i dont like the side-on look of the staggered wheels, the 22s front & rear looks so much cleaner. i've been messaging m-prsev about his HREs, he has the FF-11s which i love as i'm more a "wheel minimalist" man myself so am hoping that the FF-11s look the business when fitted ... yours look very cool, and premium have you got spacers on the car? my contact here in the UK says that ET20F & ET23R mean that spacers aren't needed (I've got 12mm FC spacers with my stock 808s)? i'll send on pics when my wheels and Strecken lip are fitted ... keep your pics coming, love the industrial background & different views!

My offsets do not require spacers anymore and I think it’s perfect as long as the car is lowered. My Vossen wheels offsets were a smidge more aggressive (et19f and et17R) and I thought it was way too much without a drop. After the drop it was fine but I prefer the HRE et23 in the rear. The front has room to go more aggressive but your paint will suffer big time because a lot more rubber will be throwing rocks up hitting the car. Alan |

Congrats! Beautiful X5MC & mods!
Yes!! Marina Bay Blue is truly my favorite blue for all of the reasons you mentioned and then some. I love it on my F90 M5C and it also looks fantastic on your F95's lines. Like the car, it has multiple personalities (lighting in this case). Enjoy it in good health!!

Its a requirement with these wheels. Its so bright you see right inside the barrel so if they aren't clean it stands out big time. Thank you! Alan
