Also with the spacers what size did you go for?


I took it to a really good body shop and the fitment was good.
I stopped trying to install some things myself and decided to go by "do it right the first time" lol.

15/12mm and it's perfect in my opinion.

Thank you!! Now she just needs a bit more power....not too much, but I may not go that route since losing the warranty is not in my plans.

BMW nailed this design.

I just don't know what they're thinking with almost all of their other cars.

I like the X5M, M2 and M8 GC, but yea, I think they had to be dramatic in order to gain some views/interests in the market.

How do you like your Azurite? I had a Azurite F10 M5 and because I didn't ceramic coat the car the paint looked "tired" after couple years, but man it's a beautiful color.

I'm loving it so far. I've had it since Father's day 2018 and have had it ceramic coated and it still looks beautiful and when the light hits it right and the blue pops... it makes me smile every time.

That's good! I tried to install mine and failed and took it to a bodyshop. They had no issues getting the main part of the spoiler off it was just that the sides stick up and had to glue it down and hold it with masking tape!

Im most likely going to try 15mm on the front and leave the rears as is. Congratulations on the beautiful car once again mate.

Some people do 15mm all the way around. It may be a bit much.

Just because I am not super savvy yet, the 80MM studs are in place of the stud kit that IND provides? So the wheel doesn't stick way out of the wheel well?

I do not have those. Might be a picture effect.

So I've been confused on this topic. If I run secondary catless WITHOUT a tune I should be okay as far as warranty? I understand it can vary through dealers but just curious on your say.

Every dealer is different. At the end of the end if someone wants to be a butt and you end up in court, anything that alters your car's performance would cause you to lose the warranty.
