Just threw on some Alufelgen SF71's and KW V1's

Specs are as follows:
Car: 2011 335i xDrive e92 LCI
Wheels: Alufelgen SF71's
19x8.5 et 35 (front)
19x9.5 et 35 (rear)
Tires: Hankook Ventus V12 evo2
235/35/19 (front)
265/30/19 (rear)

Haven't gotten to drive around too much, but did a small highway run and the KW's make the car feel WAY more planted. No more bouncy feel, and no more rake! A tad stiffer, but it in no way bothers me.
I could (and might) push the tires out another 5mm or so, maybe even a bit more in back, but the wheels look fine the way they are so I will more than likely just keep them how they are.
My only complaint is that I left the stickers on the tires on and the paper is starting to flap around and make a noise, but that should go away soon.

please keep us updated. i would like to know if its giving you any issues with the xdrive system, codes because its too stiff, rattle, etc...

No codes from lowering with KW v1. This system and ones like it have been out for a while now and tons of people have them installed. Buy with confidence.

Yep, everything in working order. iDrive is happy, TPMS is working, headlights are still auto-leveling and moving properly.

I would like to get my headlights adjusted (moved up) a bit, but this is more of a wish list item, headlight level is still perfectly fine with no adjustment.

FYI you can manually adjust your headlights. If you do adjust them, please make sure to adjust them properly so you do not blind on-coming traffic. Check out this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ghts+adjusting
