Yes, I had 18" wheels on it. The ride is what you would expect if you've ever had 20" wheels. You definitely feel every bump in the road....not nearly as luxury (pillow) feeling. With that said, it's not bad...just a different more sporty feeling ride. You definitely give up some cushion for looks. For me, it's not a bad trade-off because the look is important to me. The ride is still great because it's a BMW....but there is a trade-off. Hope that helps.

I think this is the only BLACK GT with the AC Schnitzer spoiler...I've seen nothing but the White car on line, and it really didn't pop for me until I saw it in black. Very nice.

Did you paint your brake calipers or is that an aftermarket kit? If paint, what did you use? Did you remove completely? I wondering if the M5 Brake kit fits the GT and if not, trying to at least color match the blue w/ the M5 logos.

The BMW 5GT is very dependant on the right exterior color, interior trim, alloy combo to 'pop' and Sapphire Black, Alpine White and Space Grey are about the only colours that work. I wouldnt get the car in anything less than 19" - mine run on 20" and i love it.

I have a set of HRE wheels from E93 M3. Will they fit on 550i GT?

Very nice. Noticed that you're a southbay local like me. If you feel like picking up a set of H&R's to lower the car, I have a set laying around in my garage. Let me know. Cheers.

Yep. H&R (#50469). Paid $300, will sell for $150 because I no longer have the GT. Just let me know whenever you decide to take the plunge, I'll have them. Here's old pic of GT with the springs so you know how it'll sort of look like. I'm sure you recognize the background

Congrats on the new ride.

Definitely go for the H&R's. It improves the looks and handling drastically, no more awkward half-SUV height

I also have an M5-style spoiler for the LCI GT (yours) sitting at home if you're interested. I'll sell it for cheap. Let me know and welcome.

Wheels are 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear. Actually, pic is from El Segundo beach (who knew there was one?). It's where Grand Ave. dead ends on the beach. There's a parking lot there.
