    Addict. You're as bad as... Everyone here.
    Plans for your wagon? Nice wheel/stance combo on your sedans.

    Yeah, I thought so too. Couldn't pass up this offer from a friend of mine. I drive in the city now, and it was pretty painful driving the M there.

    Anyways, here an update on the M3. ZCP wheels, rear M-perf CF spoiler, etc..

    Thanks. Not much probably just lower it, detail and coat it, and slap on an m-tech front.

    Thanks, they are Avante Garde M220 that resemble an HRE wheel. If I don't keep them, they'll be up for sale.

    Looking great!

    Question: Any spacers or clearance issues on the M5 style 65 wheels/tires experienced or required on the Tourings? I have a set I am installing tomorrow.

    Not at all. I am running 15mm spacers in the rear to push them out a bit. My friend has a little rubbing since his car is lowered. The wagon with Mtech bumpers above.

    Hit a massive pothole and destroyed 2 of the style 65s. I ended up going with style 95s.

    I also sent the taillights to a body shop to get refinished and re-cleared.
