added rear wheels to front of x1 35i m sport 19x9 255/35-19

just added the stock rear rims and tires to the front of the x1 and bought new tires and rims for the rear 19x9 all around 255/35-19 with 15mm spacers all around the handling is unbelievable best move i made yet. better than lowering the car. the handling is so neutral and the push is all gone now.

Remus Sport Exhaust System

I'm picking up my new X1 3.0L on thursday and was wondering if anyone has swapped their exhaust for the Remus Sports Exhaust??? I found this on http://www.bimmian.com/Remus-Sport-E...for-BMW-E84-X1

Thanks

Looks like a quality piece being that they are ISO certified and use robotic welding . Personally I'd throw on some different exhaust tips though.

Do you have any shots straight on from the rear? I'm curious to see how wide the stance looks with the thick rubbers and spacers.

So how much lower is it now with the spring drop? And are you going to get it aligned? Your ride looks really good, want to do this to my ride since I have done this to all of my other bimmers, but this is my first X!

H&R says 1.2" drop.... I think it might be a little more than that...

I had the car aligned as well (I work for a BMW dealer)

Booster- the right amount of drop IMO. Looks great.

Some hot X1's in here, didnt know this car had good style

Came by to say hi, and I recently learned that x1 shares alot with e9x e8x for suspension.

Wondering if anyone thought about switching the rear control arms and for the x28i people the fronts? There is even a xi front control arm bushing, like the myele HD for e9x non xi

I actually believe the entire rear M3 suspension fits. The front will not.

I will be doing a pretty extensive suspension overhaul soon. JRZ, budget permitting.

hey para i want to add stiffer front and rear sway bars, like 20 to 30% would be perfect and front strut tower bar. have you come across anything? i was thinking e90x 335i 4 door or e90 m3 4 door would either work?

Guys, a quick question. Front 19x 8.5 et 35 and rear 19x 9.5 et 40 with a 10MM spacer rear only.

Should I get wider spacers and should I put some in the front?

Also tire size... 235-35-19/265-30-19 will it work?

Thanks guys...
