Looking at this picture I'm thinking I may like these wheels better if black 🧐

Nice! BMW has always done a great job with its individual colors. (Definitely not biased person right here

)

Ok, we're going to call this the Joe-BMW33 Shot - move over Ken Burns!

Here's my first attempt

what color is that? Looks super nice!

Rhodonite Silver Metallic Individual - thanks!

Honestly with the color of car and trim, I wouldn't change anything. It looks spot on.

I used to have a pre-LCI M550 and a friend of mine drove it, but ultimately ended up with a 540. Then I traded up to an M5, which he also drove. The M550 LCIs were out by the time of his lease-end and he came by and showed me this last October:

The M550 is really a sweet spot in the BMW line-up

M550i fitted with X3 21" 718M. Perfect fit

Now that looks nice. I wonder if you can go with a 255/285 tire on that rim.

particulardude · 04-25-2021, 12:51 PM

wash day!

I doubt that 255 in front will fit in front as the wheels are pretty flush with fender. I fitted 245/35 in front and 285/30 rears. Will add some more pics soon

I really like the wheels on your car. If you did nothing else to it, the car stands tall.

Yeah, I can see why you aren't happy. Those wheels and the size of them just don't belong on our cars.

I do like the rims They look sharp.
Is it the tires are too thick you don't like ?

Which X-Pipe did you go with? How do you like the results?

Boosted_8 · 01-04-2022, 07:10 AM

It’s a custom made item. Deletes opf, resonators and secondary cats. In comfort mode it’s only about 10-15% louder due to the valves. No drone. In sport it’s more like an AMG e63 now. With the valves open there is a little bit of resonance around 2000rpm.

That looks really clean. Nice welds and workmanship. I like how you went with clamps at the beginning and end so you could swap back in the stock system and didn't butcher it.

How much did they charge you?

$1500, two days work.
