How's the ride quality on the 21" tires? Any difference in handling?
Ride quality virtually unchanged, I did use lower springs as well. Handling better IMO on the road, have not tried it at the track, I would probably use my old wheels with R compound tyres if going to the track.

I did not do the mods just for the looks, sure that is part of the reason, but handling has improved, lower springs, lower centre of gravity, wider wheels and tyres. Warranty not exactly sure of, I have not asked BMW, I suspect as long as a warranty claim is not a direct result of the springs it shoudn't be a problem. I am happy with that.
How long did you drive the M5 with stock suspension? I thought you had the whole Hartge kit waiting even before you took the delivery of the car.

Did you have to modify your fenders to accomodate those wheels? I believe on the web site they mentioned that it might require modifications? Have you experienced any rubbing issues of the fender? Thanks.

I have not as yet, my mechanic couldn't get them to rub on his short test drive with 4 in the car, suggested I drive the car if I have a problem I will then get it altered, so far no problem.
Great pics, this kit is exactly what I want. I will have my M5 in 2 weeks. I emailed for prices a couple days ago and no responce yet. Does anyone have an idea of the costs?
Also, more USA retailers are getting their kits locally in the USA as well.
