The grills were first wrapped in gloss black than I changed them with aftermarket ones that have double slats like the m5 without the badge.

It's been cold here and I haven't had a chance to take any pictures or videos. I can't wait for the summer.

Replica parts. Fitment on the side skirt and front lip is 100%. The rear diffuser there's a tab on each end on the top corners, they won't stay in but not noticeable at all.

Nice build. I have some 7 series wheels, I'm also doing 255/35/21 for the fronts but I'm not sure if i should go with 285/30/21 or 285/35/21. your 295's look perfect but I plan on lowering the car on KW v3's and I think they might rub

If you want to keep the same overall tire diameter you should go with the following sizes. 245/35/21 front 285/30/21 rear if you're lowering! 255/35/21 front 295/30/21 rear. If you're not lowering! If you lower it, it will rub in the front in certain situations when you're braking hard and turning into a driveway.

Tire size on the 540
Both cars look nice!
Just a quick question on the tire size that you run on the 540 with 20 inch rims. Were you running 245/40/20 front and 275/35/20 rear? Mine has the 20 inch 759i wheels and im looking to swap out the tires for some taller sidewalls. |

Keep in mind that if you do that, use the recommended air pressure on your idrive as if you had 19" setup 245/40/19 & 275/35/19. I made a mistake, I continued using air pressure of 245/35/20 & 275/30/20 on tires that were 245/40/20 & 275/35/20. Which resulted in uneven wear on the tires being worn out in the center.

Norris83 , what are you thoughts now almost 2 years later on how the wrapped parts held up?
I want to do a chrome delete on my 540i and prefer gloss black vs carbon fiber. Wrapping is obviously the cheapest option (from the quote I have received) but I am concerned about how it will hold up. |

I recommend 245/35/21 with either 275/30/21 or 285/30/21. 295/30/21 is too tall compared to 245/35/21 so you would have to move up to 255/35/21 on the fronts to keep the same overall tire diameter. Otherwise it might give you issues down the road with the xdrive system.

Hi!
Stunning car! Ask: You have mounted the following tire combination: 255/35R21 295/30R21 Isn't the following combination actually the right one? 255/30R21 295/25R21 So the cross section is one size smaller. 35 & 30 is mounted on the 20" rim upon delivery. Quote:

Depends on the look you want. Those are nice, though add a more formal/luxury look to the car. If you want more of a sporty look, IMHO, you'll need a star (5-spoke) design. The stock 19" wheels on my 2019 (m-sport) appear to me to be a cross between formal/luxury and sport.

I'm planing to run 21x9 et25 and 21x10.5 et40 on my 540i xDrive, wrapped with 255/35/21 and 295/30/21 + Eibach Pro Kit. I hope it won't give me any trouble rubbing or with the xDrive system. Regarding that you said your 255/35/21 rub sometimes on the front - but you do run a 21x8.5, witch is a 0.5 narrower in the front and the tire is more bulky. |

I recommend 245/35/21 and 285/30/21. With the wider wheels you have & the offset, you can even do 265/30/21 and 305/25/21 if you're planning on lowering.
