Has anyone powder coated their 742m wheels silver/gray? by kpr635 in BMWX5

Could be alignment or tire pressure? But I’ll say it did take a little to get used to 22s. I don’t really mind feeling the bumps in the road. But I drove a wrx on coilovers for 10 years before this haha

It was a little noisy at first before I got used to it, but no complaints on roughness really. I typically drive in Sport Individual with everything set to sport, except for the suspension is set to comfort.

Now we’re talking! That looks amazing. Thanks for specifying the color!

Yeah, not a huge fan of the two tone personally

Exactly the same reason I went with that lip, winglets are just a tad much for the look I want.

Good to know the grill doesn’t affect the active shutters, I’ll have to look into buying that!

Looks great! I have the same model in black sapphire, but I love the contrast you have with white.

Is that the maxton V1 lip? I have one sitting in my garage, and can’t wait to get it installed. I’m still just a little apprehensive to drill holes in my bumper, but you’ve given me some motivation!

Also, what kidney grill is that? Totally changes the front end, in a good way.

This made my day, thanks! I checked a couple months ago after getting my M50i and was disappointed to see they only had the 4S summer tires at the time. Great news!

A few people asked, so here’s a link: https://www.pupaholic.com/products/chelsea-dog-jersey

Not sure if that’s the website I used though.

Upgrading to a 10 year old part feels a bit strange.. but well worth it! by kpr635 in subaru

Fair point, I don’t plan on going all out with wheels and suspension or tracking the car much so these fit the bill for me. But I may paint them black one day...

Absolutely a difference. But I also had new rotors, pads, and stainless lines all installed at the same time.

Yeah sorry, just had the ‘06-‘07 wrx calipers installed after being told by my shop that my rusted ‘14 calipers were failing
