I like what you've done with the wheels Cylenterok - that colour/shade works really well with the Singapore Grey body colour.

I appreciate the kind words bud!

@Passi-M5
265 I'm the front and 295 in the back. Stock sizes as per tire rack.

Are the Michelin's a big difference to the Pirellis?

I'll vouch that Michelin PS4S (not the super sports) are on another plane, the pirelli's p zero should not be used,there's too much wheel chirping and slipping from them.

fitted some MMR performance paddles shifters. I saw these on another M5 and had to fit them. best looking out there imo.

when I fitted the paddles i gave it brush up with some soapy hot water using a toothbrush. is ok. but there are a few flat spots at the 2 and 10 o'clock position. it's 2 years old now.

Agreed, the P Zeros are a poor choice on the F10 M5. I still have a set on mine currently but can't wait to get rid of them (unfortunately they've still got plenty of tread on them and I hate waste so will 'suck it up' for a bit longer).

You won't have them on for long I think.I had a 3/4 worn 295 super sports on mine and threw on 305 pilot ps4s's with 5mm spacers, I was in seventh heaven. Shortly after that the half worn front 265 super sports were dumped to make a pilot matching set.

J11SEK · 10-09-2020, 10:55 AM

Had my H & R springs fitted this week lowering each corner by 25mm, then 10mm spacers fitted to rears, and 12mm fitted to the fronts another 10mm will be gained when I swap my 295 tyres for 305's in the near future!

Car had a wheel alignment once the springs and spacers were fitted, and all is good!

the front canards are from ps designs in the UK.

the front flaps or fangs are vogue automotive. but they are quite deep. too much for my liking.

they rkp ones or replicas like that style would suit better

Nice one - they're a hell of a lot of car for the money. Looks like it's got a few Alpina bits on it?

Congrats, the B7 is a monster! How does it compare to the M5? My brother is looking for one, but they're so rare!
