Any more pics?

Will take some proper time for pics once I switch out the brakes. Had a hard time capturing the 2 tone finish, pics dont do them justice. Would grab a couple more but its raining right now.

Also running H&R 15F/20R spacers. With the drop they are perfectly flush with the extended flares.

Loving that look. Very clean.

Appreciate it. They while look awesome on space gray! Ya, the Eibach Pro-Kit (1.2"F/1"R).

how is the ride after you lowered it? is it still comfortable?? I'm thinking about doing that to my car but i dont want to lose that comfort that i have with it...

Daftronix, are you on coils or front springs and links?

I lowered my on M3 front springs and links. Replaced all spring hats and can't tell a deference in comfort, as it rides the same. I do have a Sport shocks.

It stiffened up a bit as far as cornering/rigidity which I much prefer over stock and was surprised how well the ride comfort was maintained over bumps. Most likely due to the springs not being that aggressive of a drop and believe they have a similar spring rate to stock. This was with the 20" 214's. I would have ideally wanted them 1/4" lower in the rear after seeing them installed/settling

With the 22"s the ride is very stiff and have to be careful of potholes with the 25 series sidewalls on the rears. The ride is terrible right now because the bushings are shot but will be swapping the tension struts out in the next week or so will get a better idea then.

My new oil burner

Welcome from the other side. After two Mercedes I decided to try out the Bavarian. Within twelve hours I blacked out all badges, grill, and whited out the ridiculous reflectors. Chrome on white doesn't work for me. Already ordered the diesel ECU, carbon fiber badges, and BMW projectors for the welcome lights. Plus blue LEDS for interior cause holy shit does BMW love bleh yellow lighting? What is this? 1993?

Photo of the front.
Added the rears as well...

Those tints look great. Are those the regular laminX tints or the gunsmoke tint?
