I understand it might look cool but it has always struck me as incongruous. Is it just the style thing?

I put on a set of 22 and think it will looks better if I lower it a bit.

oh man..

I agree with the other poster that recommends getting a 5er wagon instead. The picture I saw of the lowered E70 looked just like a 5 wagon. Save some bucks and better handling!
