I love those wheels. They remind me of a stout version of the old style mesh wheels. I wanted a set for my X3. They look better on your car than on an E90 in my opinion.

It looks good. I like the offset of the rear wheels. You can get away with pushing the rear wheels out an additional 20mm from stock. Maybe a bit more.

After reading this thread, I wondered:

Although my rear coils broke, I still love the car. We have a 2012, benz that is fun to drive, so I almost opted for OEM springs. I replaced all four springs with Eibachs. The handling is way...

My springs broke at around 50,000 or 60,000 miles. I can't pinpoint he exact time for the passenger side, but I heard the driver side break.

Thanks X3Mech and Mlukas161. Both of your threads were helpful. I had two busted rear springs. I just installed 4 Eibach springs on Sunday. I am swapping the struts and shocks at a later date. ...

I discovered the issue after I bought the car. I just didn't think it would happen to a low mile warm weather car. It's still a ridiculous issue for such a car to have.

I took my 2007, in for the 60,000 mile service and was advised that I have a broken spring. I planned to install Eibachs anyway. It's hard to believe how common this is with E83s.
