Nice, but needs your cerium delete bits!

Looks great. Really thinking of pulling the trigger on these as of late.

Is that the stock staggered set up? 275 rear and 245 front?

I saw another post before about H&R 15mm spacer. now look at your's again , look really nice with 15mm. not too "Rice" look, and really nice touch. so tempting

Question for you. It seem like H&R spacer just sandwich between the wheels and hub.
But the one you got is actually secure to the hub. So it won't come off when switching between summer / winter?

Only time need to take them off is when I replace my rotor. Am I correct??
If so, it seem like a much better design.

Yes it is.

I must be the odd ball because I don't see that moving the wheels out 15mm is such a cool thing? In general I have never liked wheel spacers on any car long before I had a BMW. It changes things from the original design. On the G01 moving the tires out an additional 15mm they will throw even more crap from the tire to the body than they already do! Just my humble opinion. I like my X3M40I as built. Brian

Looooks good Here's mine with 15mm squared as well.

I personally like the "fender-flush" look of a good set of spacers. In stock form, the car looks too narrow. M40i or not. Even with the big 22s it looks narrow. The spacers push out the wheels nicely and give the car a more "macho" stance.

This is literally the only reason why I haven't pulled the trigger on some spacers yet. I like the look but don't want more water/dirt getting thrown up on the side of the vehicle.

The hub bolts in this kit will not work for the G01 as of yet. Those hub bolts were made for the F90 M5 which are different.

did I see on another thread that adding spacers could invalidate drivetrain warranty claims, of course you could remove them before you take it into the garage but what if you are out on the road and something fails, BMW recovery service will see them before you have time to swap them out..

Im with the others, keeping it pretty stock whilst warranty is still valid, could be an expensive job for the sake of 15mm

I'm pretty OCD about this - no they do not throw up any more than usual at all....Unless you off-road a lot, it's fine. Trust me.

LOL, I like the spacers, but the "before" picture on that first before and after pair is very clearly a photoshop.

Even if going through some road water on a daily basis? I have to clean off the doors and rear panel on almost a nightly because my daily route takes me through pooled water from the sprinklers each morning during the summer months.

[_ink]

there's a solution to this, but will need to crowd source the help in making it happen, or maybe @IND-Distribution can take lead?

We just need a CAD template of the attached, to fit our G01's and then we can pretty much have them printed on carbon fibre or plastics to bolt straight into OEM holes/fittings!!

how can we kick this off??

Well, I do have a ceramic coating on my car.....not the expensive kind. You can apply yourself. The dirt does not stick as much. Having said that I do have a Silver X3.....which is pretty damn good when it comes to hiding dirt. if you have a darker car then I understand.

Mine is Glacier Silver as well.

Honestly no one but me would probably ever notice the dirt/water spots but me (unless I let it go for more than a week). Since I know it's there it annoys the hell out of me.

Definitely not photoshopped, it's my car, I have the spacers on and I was there while there were installed and photographed.

Exactly. I've gotten past being to annoyed with marks on the car. I've had two Black M3s before - NIGHTMARE to clean.

I could never own a black vehicle, I'd go crazy!

I've had a few graphite color vehicles and that is about as dark as I'd ever go. Blues tend to show a lot of dust here in AZ as well but are usually easy to maintain.

The after picture is non-photoshopped, but the before picture is a photoshop of the after picture, is all. Open both pictures in new tabs and switch between the two. They are pixel perfect matches, except the "before" picture has had the tire photoshopped inward 15mm. You can also see the tread on the "before" picture is not uniform lines like an actual tire, as seen in the after picture. I just thought it was funny.
