Front lip and spoiler for now. Springs and CSL lights are in the hatch waiting to be installed

That lip is really tall. Watch out for curbs!

Bumping this thread with a few questions:

1. Anyone running spacers at stock ride height on 19s? Any meaningful impact on range?
2. If I add the OEM fender flares to a car with 19s, I assume I need to put the spacers on?
3. Going to try to avoid lowering but if I did lower how’s the ground clearance?
4. Any other must have exterior mods to get the car looking a little more aggressive?

Let's see your modified BMW i4! Share photos/videos of it here, details about the modifications you made and anything else related you would like to include. I think this will be a great resource for the community to discover new aftermarket parts, what modifications to do and get feedback them.

I’m running 10mm spacers front and 13mm spacers rear on the OEM 19s and I haven’t seen and degradation in range that I can tell. I average about 75 on the highway and I’m averaging about 3.2.

Any decrease in range with spacers would be so minimal you'd never notice.

Lots of existing threads on the topic:

As for "must have" exterior mods, that's completely subjective, but check out these members builds to get some ideas:

I’m running H&R 12mm on the front and 15mm on the rear and have not had and degradation in range and I commute 90miles a day, so it would be noticeable if it would. Most people with the flares go with thicker than 15mm on the rear, but that’s personal preference. I’m anxiously waiting to installing H&R springs next week.

Thanks. Are you lowered ?

My m50 has 10mm front and 25mm rear with 20” nightgold wheels. Rear wheel is 9” vs the 10” stock wheel so a larger spacer is needed for this. Not to mention I’ve used ACS spring kit. Just be sure to take your car for a proper alignment after you lower it!
it will need alignment as things will be slightly off after. Don’t wait as tires are expensive.
Also, when adding the rear flares, remember there is still not any more space than if they were not there, so getting them flush is too risky imo, as tires could rub actually wheel well if you go too large of spacer. But these settings are mostly visual preference. And Bonoss spacer kits are actually are super good quality, worth checking out. h&R are as well but more expensive, I didn’t go with them as they didn’t have hardware that looked right with my wheels imo. And really like Bonoss hardware.

I really need to get some new photos. Have not driven her in a while

 

[toosteeley]

+1 for Bonoss spacers.

Thanks. Do I need extended bolts on OEM wheels? Thinking 12/15.

 

[toosteeley]

Bonoss supplies the appropriate length bolts with their spacers

It's in my favorite speed shop now. Adding a bunch of stickers to make it go twice faster and also to double the battery life!

Tint and roof done the other day. Lead foot guy now back at the charger. Finally learned from all of you guys here.... unplug at 29+ minutes. Then replug and start a new charging session to keep getting free charging from EA ha ha.

I’m selfishly glad I haven’t met you/your car in person because I’m going to feel like I’m driving a piece of crap next to yours. It’s gorgeous.

The rest of us m50 owners are slumming it.
