very nice as always

what spacer size did you end up going with

Does adding spaces change the handling of the car at all? Especially if you add it to the from wheels?

Yep, Probably is the most expensive 328i in Aus. Didn't realize I spent so much on it around 30K+ on mods which totals around 100K. Could've got a 335i with some mods. I guess I have a bad case of the mod bug.

Thanks

Installed a 12mm BMS Spacers to the rear only, which filled up the gap. Handling remains unchanged although it claims to have better coverage.

Did you order it from BMS directly or did you get it through a Australian vendor. Was the fitment good.

Any reason you didnt do the front spacers? Im thinking of doing spacers

I got it through Stuart @ BMRAutowerkes who had it in stock. No issues with fitment, didn't do the front as it was fine with 20". I would recommend adding it since it changes the look quite a bit.

Thanks Yep, something like that sounds good. At the moment the exhaust sounds very quiet during the break in period.

Going to fit a downpipe, frontpipe, intake & tune later on to elevate the noise

Aren't spacers illegal here and don't they void insurance?

Ordered a fog light trim for the fog delete mod. Asked about the LCI but was advised still in development.

Tempted to get a Front pipe + tune +downpipe + intake or finally go for the Big Brake Kit to finish off the wheels. Almost fainted when I quoted for a full Brembo setup around 12k

Yep, Vorsteiners On non-run flat tyres. Transforms the car into something sinister

Not quite sure if it voids insurance but yes it's illegal like downpipes but we still do it However, saying that I've since removed it as the new tyres are too wide to fit them on. Upsized from 255 to 275 tyres.

Thanks It's the Vorsteiner V-FF 103's very similar to the FF101 style but a little more concavity.
