No sir and everything went well. No mention of it or anything. Invoice did say I had aftermarket suspension and wheels though lol.

Thanks! The wheels are 10.5 up front and 12 in the back. The offsets are in the low 20's. Morr doesn't want the offsets stated publicly so that's all I can give you.

Thanks bro, I can respect that. Your M's fitment is really nice, I'm gonna do some research and hopefully it'll come out as clean. Thanks again

Thanks. Most of the wheel companies should have their offsets figured out by now so hopefully it wont be too bad of a search.

I began researching what was available on the forum here and was able to find two companies that offered a tip solution though none of them mentioned anything about a X5M.

The goal was to get some 90mm tips. I also had to measure the outlet pipes on the oem muffler, which comes out to 2.5 inches. So with 2.5 outlet and 90mm tips as my goal I began looking. This where www.dimisatips.com came into play. It seems that a lot of the 335i e90 guys get these tips and almost all of the feedback I've read was positive. Plus the e90 335i's have an oem exhaust outlet of 2.5, so fitment would be perfect. I also liked the fact they are made here in the USA and made to order. So I went ahead and took a risk and bought two pairs off of their site. I purchased the silver v3.5's. They also offer a 102mm (4 inches), but I wasn't too sure if they would fit or not. These tips have an inlet of 2.25, which is perfect as they can be flared open just enough to slip over the oem outlet for a nice weld. Took a little over two weeks to get after I placed my order. They came in Friday and I had them installed Saturday.

Now that they are installed - did you have room for the 4" tips?

There is room, but it will be tight. As long as your exhaust guy knows what he is doing you should be fine. The tips will even work with a full custom exhaust setup as well.

Going with the 4 inch?

Thinking about it. Exasperated by exhaust at the moment. Thinking maybe F it all and just get tips.

That's what happened to me. There are a ton of options but only two fully designed systems. Akrapovic and Supersprint. Since I'm going to do it right I decided to get tips in the mean time for the look. Something that's over 500hp stock should at least have proper tips even if the sound isn't there.

Not this time. They don't offer a full system and I don't really want to hack up my stock system more than I already have.

I know. Taking a gamble with this as I'm normally a bushed/silver/polished wheel person myself.

color match satin finish....lol

[m5 guy]

Well now I'm thinking of switching wheels so if anyone is interested in these let me know. To help move them I will include refinishing in any finish of your choice and shipping in the price.
