Really Dutch spec. Black on black, love the car ❤️

For the sunroof lightning you can check this out: https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...hlight=ambient

If the 20" tyres are of the same make and type and * rated they should be okay, after all that's what BMW fit in the factory. I suspect that if it was the staggered tyre sizes that were the issue you could simply have 245x35x20 all round and still get your 669M's. I think the move to 19's is generally for some to get a more comfortable ride with the taller profile.

I have heard of non star rated in OEM sizes being way out, PS5's are one that I've seen on the forum and they will certainly cause an issue as they are not within the % ratio allowed.

Thanks for the links, will have a look.

Didn’t take the time to make a proper picture, but for those who love the back…

The winter has already arrived in Germany, so you can see the current winter setup

Upgraded from 2011 528i to a 2017 540i! Been loving it!

My bluestone metallic g31. Wheels are starting to look a bit corroded so I think they’re going bronze after Christmas.

This thread is going to make some of us in the US seriously jealous! We can only view in pictures.

Agreed

Where did you bought LCI taillights? Are they OEM or aftermarket?

Hi,

Discs also from ATE? Do you have part numbers?

Thanks

[Chappers 71]

VinceG31 Hello mate, no the discs are Zimmerman

[G31_540i]

Chappers 71 how do you find the Zimmerman discs mate?

My OEM discs have warped for the second time, Iv read they seem to be a bit ‘soft’ so potentially looking for an aftermarket replacement

[Chappers 71]

G31_540i The Zimmermans seem fine.
You’re more likely to have pad deposits than warped discs

[The Zimmer]

Hi all,

Don’t know if anyone would be interested but I have sold my 540i now and have an Active Autowerke B58 Downpipe for sale. This does not throw up the CEL and does not require tuning the car

Thanks
Paul
