Exterior Mods... Done
So, I'm finished with the exterior of my 2012 550i. I gotta say, I think I'm completely in love. I think I've hit a nice balance between classy BMW and bad-ass Racy BMW!
Have I missed anything, suggestions???!!! 2012 BMW 550i TSW Max Wheels 20/8.5 20/10 Michelin pilot SS- 245.35.20 285.35.20 H&R sport springs lowered about 1.5 BMW rear spolier 3-Dish front spolier. Not sure but was my favorite by far for my non M-Sport. BMS Stage 2 tune. |

Lookin proper. Those Max wheels look pretty good with your car.
Some suggestions: smoked or painted reflectors, and if you're not into chrome, gloss black wrap for your chrome trim on the door handle, and M sport muffler tips. |

Gonna do that, Painted my exhaust tips black (temporary till warranty is done) and probably going to paint the chrome on the door handles. I must say, It's turning a lot of heads. I'm digging it!
Thanks again for the suggestions! |

I see the wheeldiameter differs 4.1% 680mm and 708mm .Im planning a similar setup
and wonder if you have had any problems with abs or tracktion control? How about the auto transmission (if you have auto) any strange behavior with that? |

I'd definitely get a smaller (30 profile) in the rear for a similar diameter as the front.

There have been no problems Traction control, ABS or Tranny. When i had the car lowered, the dealer had to recalibrate the computer so I could get get in and out of sport, sport plus ect. But no issues other than that. Performance is spectacular, it's been done for at least 8000 miles.
