20x9 et27
20x10.5 et30

That's correct (assuming you have an F15 X5). Those should fit, might be hard to get the right tire size to ensure both front and rear having the same rolling diameter. It's important for xDrive.

Maybe 255/45/20 front and 285/40/20 rear if they make such sizes. Also, Contis DWS is more than enough for xDrive in the winter.

I have an F85 like you, the Modulare were off my F10 M5 which I got rid of. For rolling diameter, since they have an OEM 20" set up couldn't I use this tire sizes?

Awesome. OEM tires are too wide for your wheels, if that's what you are asking.

Ah yes, that's what I was asking. I'll have to check with Peter at Wheel experts, but I had thought I could fit up to a 305 on the rear. Or hopefully I could get thinner winters. Are you selling your winter set?

For those you can also fit 265/40/20 front and 305/35/20 rear OR 265/45/20 front and 305/40/20 rear. Choose a set that is cheaper and easier to source.

My BC Forged setup is sold.

You should put carbon fiber Tips on the exhaust. Easy to bolt on. Shop installed it for me in 15 min. They are also bigger diameter, so looks much better

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going with FabSpeed muffler bypass when it comes to exhaust. The M5 with muffler bypass sounds so good, heard it in person. It's not as loud as I thought without DPs, it's just right.

It's only $100 difference. FabSpeed would be happy to match pricing. Plus, FabSpeed BMW parts are made in the USA and lifetime warranty. I support Merican when I can.

AWE is good too, but I'm told that it's not much louder than stock without DPs. If I went DPs, AWE would be the obvious choice. Good company as well.

Good to know. I'll go with AWE if I ever go catless as I will be relegated to the couch if I have straight pipes!

Hahah, yeah. AWE is great for catless and no drone. Reasonably priced for both solutions.

Jack the car up, don't forget to use a BMS BMW Jack Pad Adapter (so you won't tear up your plastic jack pads) and Jack Stand for the center jack point. Remove 4x8mm screws from the bottom. The lip doesn't come pre-drilled, but it does have indentation for where the holes should be (you can see them in the photo). So I drilled 4x1/4" holes (start with the smaller bits, then work up to 1/4"). Drill at a lower speed and wear a mask to avoid breathing in resins. I just hold my breath and walk away after each hole, LOL.

Once drilling and fitting is done (test fit the screws position, enlarge the holes as needed). Wipe the bumper and lip with a micro fiber cloth soaked in a bit of rubbing alcohol. Stick 3 strips of 3M outdoor double sided tape on the center section and one strip of tape on each side of the lip. Position the tape about 3/4" away from the front of the lip so it's out of the view. (sorry, I forgot to take photos of the tape position).

Once tape is on, test fit one more time. I don't remove the tape all the way from the 5 strips, I peeled it half way and have it hanging out in front for access. Go ahead and install 4 screws half way while trying to keep tape in front from sticking. Once you're satisfied, peel the tape (red part) all the way and press. Tighten the screws and Voila, you're done. This shouldn't take more than 45min.

I'm super happy with the carbon fiber quality and fitment on this lip.

Thanks for the review and the post. How's the fitment and quality with the RW Carbon Center Carbon Fiber spoiler? Strongly considering it. Also have RKP center spoiler in consideration but it's hard to justify the price.
