Makes me wish I ordered AW instead of MG. Sweet looking car, well said about minimalistic/subtle mods.

Thanks.

So no issues at all putting them on an xDrive? I still don't get why BMW took the sport suspension out of a "Sport" or M sport model...makes no sense if there is no mechanical reason it isn't a good idea. Not that everything they do makes sense

Super clean. Any issues with rubbing with your set up? With full car of passengers? My local shop is worried that anything over 5mm spacers will be too aggressive

It won't be (..wheel dependent). People are running 12/15 or 10/15 and not having any issues.

I'm afraid to look, but the M-Sport setup works fine on the track at OE level so I'm gonna try new pads and Motul RBF500 and go from there.

Keep me posted on what pad you go with. I may mirror your set-up.

Looks great! I am thinking of getting pss10's for my m235i so interesting to hear about the ride comfort.

In terms of the spacers, do you need larger wheel bolts for these?

With the spacers, do you also need to run longer wheel studs or are the standard studs long enough?

Just checked their site and they come as a kit.

Is there anyone in Australia that sells these?

Looking at their website they don't have a reseller in Australia.

Thanks, it actually comes as a kit, just don't know if anyone in Oz sells them or if Macht Schnel would ship them to Australia.
