Thoughts on this? Anyone dealt with this company before? It's in the Netherlands, but offer shipping to the US.

I want to try and order from there too...

Have done exactly nothing to it yet, but picked it up on Monday.

First up is sport seats/steering wheel from the old wagon, then pre-LCI mirrors from ebay.

I think you’ll have an airbag light on since your old sport seats don’t have active headrests.

You can code that out.

Here's another angle of the 17x9 +30 fitment. Our daughter thinks it looks the same.

are you running a square set up? Can I ask what tire size you're running? Any rubbing or really tight tolerances? running any spacers or anything?

I'm considering going 17x9 et30 squared for my daily driven e91 and hoping to find a fitment that's as reliable and fuss free as possible.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I have ARC-8 17x9 ET30 square. Michelin PS4S 245/40/17.
No rubbing. It's easy to live with.
2012 e91 xdrive.

Sparky saw more snow. The car drove fine but if the conditions were any worse, I would have turned around. I really have the itch for an xDrive car now...

This is why I went for x-drive again

Makes me miss my 07 SGM

thanks for the input! there shouldn't be any significant diff between xdrive and rwd as far as fitment, right?

As much as I want just a RWD, having a daily E91 means wanting X-Drive for the 4-6 months of snow in the Midwest. You obviously have snow where you are, and it honestly is worth it.

X-Drive and Blizzaks and I've never been stuck. And I drive through bad Lake Michigan effect snow all winter.

[Serf27]

We got quite a bit of snow today, so I turned the AWD on and headed out to the mall.
Amazing how good of traction it has.
DTC off, launching in first over snow/slush/gravel and it hooked almost immediately. Couldn’t manage to do any donuts.
Only the second time I’ve used the AWD system. I would’ve been fine without it, but it was nice passing everyone on the road!
These are the tires I’m running.

Totally makes sense for you. We've only had snow in 4-6 times in the Vegas valley during the decade I've lived here. It was only sticking to the road one time back in 2009. I've been driving to the mountains to go play in the snow!! RWD is still the proper choice 364 days a year here.

That said, I'd still like a 6MT xDrive to hoon around in with all the dirt tracks and mountains under an hour away from my house. I'm hoping to find something in 2020 when the fun fund allows.

I'm not sure but I don't think so. Xdrive has some requirements that the wheels be the same size front to back - within 1% or something like that - so staggered setups aren't recommended on Xdrive.

edit: I probably have this in the thread somewhere, but here's a quick pic I took after I installed them last September.

Exactly, it certainly depends on where you live and your usage. The nice thing now is that if you are thinking of getting an xDrive E9X, there is xDelete. So you can still have fun in RWD-mode. Obviously it doesn't mean it performs the same as a real RWD only car. But it makes a difference and is fun!

I searched for carbon leather trim for my converted e91 for almost two years. I started looking at brushed aluminum realizing it might be a better contrast with the black novillo leather, boy was I right. Fell in love all over again with my interior!

[Igor_M5]

Was herbing around for individual E9x interiors and came across this... and omfg. Look at the full leather overload on that interior ! The rear part of that console, and back of the front seats gave me a chubby.

Interior aside, car is loaded balls to the walls... amazing build for its period.

So much motivation.
