I've been to these guys and didnt even interact and left quickly. It was immediately obvious that they tart up low spec cars with really cheap and nasty ebay parts & wheels which will crack or bend as soon as they look at a pothole and stick crappy budget tyres on which isn't exactly safe! To top it off, they ask a premium. My suggestion is to do it all yourself 'properly' with quality parts, wheels & tyres....

I bought a g30 almost 2 years ago from this company. They put low quality alloys on it and was looking stunning until I hit a pot hole which cracked on the spot. That was a month after the purchased ending up I spent 1K more to replace all 4 with originals. I called the company sadly they were not really helpful.

I’m not sure how they think it’s a good idea showing some plank shoving 2” screws in to the back bumper! Utter idiocy and the £70 Practicalmax ditchfinders just show the the level of investment in the aftermarket tat. Avoid at all costs, if you want to customise your 5 series, do it yourself with quality parts fitted by a reputable body shop.

Are there any maxton party for the g30 luxury after the FL or maybe the same parts fit for both wersions before and after the FL?

@@hc5253 people should never be in a rush to replace oe parts. I’ve learnt this the hard way, if you use good quality replacements what they call oe+ then all good. However using cheap Chinese originated products is utter folly. If you want to upgrade use genuine or equivalent, European manufactured items. Most Chinese stuff is low quality ‘mug’s eyeful’ gear.

Car looks great and accessories still firmly in place. 👍Alloys have not bent with pothole hits but lacquer has started to show wear. This seems to be the case with all modern alloys so can't complain. Mechanically, car has been faultless to date. Good job. 👍

I have the 20" alloys and ride is still smooth. No noticeable stability issues at speed and plenty of traction off the line. Stock non m-sport suspension as mine is the 530e. I believe the suspension change was due to the extra weight of the electric motor and small battery pack. Fitting the correct tyres makes a big difference to ride quality and grip.
