This is the wife's "new" car we bought in July 2015 with ~10,000 km's

2015 BMW 328i xDrive Luxury Premium

- Apline White
- Black Dakota Leather w/Grey Stiching
- Navigation
- Comfort Access
- Rear View Camera
- Front + Rear Sonar
- Heated Seats & Steering Wheel

Here are photos of the car on day of delivery:

So far I have tinted the car (20%) and added the BMW performance style spoiler. The factory wheels now have Michelin X-Ice Xi3 Tires on them.

On order/awaiting install:

- H&R Sport Springs (28832-1)
- Niche M146 Essen Wheels | Machined/Silver | 20X9.0 et35
- New BMW Center Caps
- 245/35R20 Toyo Extensa HP All-Season Tires
- Nicer Double-Walled Exhaust Tips
- Paint or Vinyl Rear Diffuser Gloss Black
- Paint or Vinyl Roof Gloss Black



I ordered a square wheel setup so that I could rotate tires and keep road noise to a minimum. Once the wheels arrive and are test fitted I may order spacers for the rear if necessary.

The car as it sits right now:

If you ever sell those rims and are willing to ship, let me know.

I just had the following done:

- H&R Sport Springs installed
- Alignment
- Exhaust tips installed
- Wheels installed (Niche M146 20X9.0 et35 + 245/35R20 Toyo Extensa HP tires)

Still waiting for the spring to settle and then it's going back for a second alignment. I am very happy with the setup 20x9.0 et35 is perfectly flush all around! I ordered 10mm spacers for the rear thinking I would need them, but that is not the case.

The car feels & drives way better (E90 sport pack feel, but a little stiffer). The ride is very smooth & comfortable while eliminating body roll and giving it a proper BMW feel.

Now I am waiting on clear front bumper reflectors and I am considering the 3D design or H-style lip painted to match.

Proper photos are coming soon!

that is lovely!!

car looks great and the niche wheels fit perfect! you were able to fit a 245 up front with a drop on a 20x9 et35? makes me think i should look to go 19x9 up front instead of 19x8.5.

Thanks for sharing the pics with us. I didnt realize canada got the orange reflectors too. should really clean it up with the painted reflectors and lip you choose.

Looks good!

Thanks! Yeah 245/35R20's on 20x9.0 et35 fit very well, no rubbing issues. I am getting clear reflectors instead of painted, should blend well but still remain functional.

Thanks guys! I am very happy with the results.

I will try to get a clean and proper photos on Sunday. Here are a couple of daytime iphone pics:

nice work on the girlfriend, she's hot

re: painting roof, id advise against it
I've done it before and unless you spend money removing the roof and stripping it, it will never look as clean as factory, my new car is wrapped, and while its not as glossy as paint in some angles, it definitely looks cleaner

Looks fresh with the drop and wheels!

Did you get your roof wrapped after wheel mods, bumper mods, etc? If not, do you have pictures of the roof wrapped before you did all of that? I'm trying to see if it's too early for me to wrap my roof. I haven't gotten new wheel or anything yet, still stock.

these are the earliest ones ive got, sorry for the shitty photos,

that said, roof wraps last a good 3/4 years, so it really shouldnt matter

Looks awesome! Was thinking about getting these rims myself, your pics might have just decided it for me! Do they need hubrings or anything?

I believe niche has a centerbore of 72.6 to fit BMW without the need for centering rings
