What kind of spacers do I need for 550xi m sport With 351m 19" wheels ?

I want something subtle where I will feel handling improvement.

10mm on the front and 15mm on the rear.

Any pictures of what this will looks like. Will I be able to notice an improvement in handling ?

Both front and rear will be flush. I just did the same setup on my buddies 535 X Drive for him. I also run that setup for winter on my stock 351M's with winter tires (my car isn't an X Drive but I have a square rim setup). You will not notice any improvement in handling though.

Spacers from what source? And he needs the longer studs as well, correct?

Yes, longer lug bolts are needed.

You may want to check the RS Technic: http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=812473 or Macht Schell, H&R, or any other brand and distributor at your choice.

I've been reading some older threads and noticed 12mm & 17mm is a preference as well. Do the AWD cars differ any from the RWD models?

Same offset on AWD and RWD if that what you mean.

BMS has what you need. They come with the extended bolts.
