Rhodonite Silver G30 530e
Just took delivery a couple of days ago. Had the car modified with a KW V3, mounted 20" Vossen CV3-R for summer (pictures below - ran it for 24h as a test), and went to 19" winter-wheels for now. Also had a custom-build exhaust system mounted and a diffuser that I've ordered following advise from others here on the forum (thanks !). Pictures are not all that great and the car is not completely clean - more and better to follow. Modifications were performed by Heinz Performance (Belgium) - extremely happy with their work and service.
The car was also sitting in the sun for a short period of time (no pictures) - this Rhodonite individual is one hell of a colour (but I understand that's a personal opinion) ! |

Yes - it has a KW V3 adjustable suspension. The hybrid (530e) comes without any lowering - even with the M-pack (at least over here). The very first picture in the garage (delivery) shows the car with the factory-suspension. The other pictures are indeed after the lowering.
Probably will lower it a bit more in the summer but for winter and with the 19" wheels this looks OK to me. |

These CV3 are 9x20 ET25 for the front, and 10,5x20 ET30 in the back.
@Gti6cyl: I think it sounds great (I heard it on a 530i which is the same block before ordering) - will see if I can make/post a short video. The exhaust is custom-made for my car - not something one could buy off the shelf. And yes - engine is modified, why not |

@brokeboi - they replaced the muffler with a customer-build one. It's not my area of expertise - but I heard it on another car and it was a great sound. I actually have a short video with the sound but it's only a good representation of reality if you listed to it via external (on a laptop or mobile device it doesn't sound anything like reality, can't play the low frequencies - also recorded w/ a mobile device).
@Dobie Dog - looks awesome! What's the actual right-height (between street and body) behind the front-wheels w/ the M-performance side-skirt (it's about 3 inch for me over there without the M-performance parts) ? |
