Can anyone confirm if the xdrive has a higher stock ride height than the RWD?
Also: x drive only comes in auto, correct?

Ride height is a question for me too. I have driven the xdrive, but they did not have another M235i on the lot. Still trending toward RWD as I don't feel the Xdrive is worth the $1800 premium (I'm coming from an Audi, so quattro has a completely different feel). Plus, I don't want to add more weight to the nose than is already present. |

Any fitment issues with the 8.5s on the front? Can you put photos of how it sits and how much gap you have?

Off topic, but small world. Doing the same for my 2015. Kelly treated me far better than other dealers in town.

The VMR 8.5's in ET45 need spacers in the front to clear the suspension... I put 5mm in there... which means that the wheel and spacer together is about 17mm further out than stock. A lot of people run 15mm spacers in the front, so this is just a tiny bit more poke than 15mm spacers on stock wheels. |

Rix - what are the size / parameters of the wheels? Especially the offset. If you needed spacers on the front, was VMW limited in how much offset they can put on the wheel?
I love the way they look in the wheel well. Are those 19s on stock M suspension or have you lowered on springs / other? |
