[quote name='cobradav' date='May 1 2005, 08:00 AM'][quote name='heli_ca' date='May 1 2005, 03:35 AM']I have a 545i sport and am wondering from you 545i sport owners if you could measure the distance from the ground to the apex of the fender, this would tell me if it is riding at the right height for a sport package.? On my setup, the front and back distance from the ground to the apex is 26-11/16 inches or about 67.9 cm.? Though I'm using 19" rims I've kept the overall diameters the same as original 18" setup.

Thanks

I apologize for not answering your question, I have a 645, Sport Suspension. I in turn had a question or two for u if u don'y mind.

U say laserjammer "In front grill". Is that sitting behind the grill? I ask as that is where one installer I've talked to wants to put mine. Another has it outside just at the top of the center mesh (between front bumber and air dam). With the chrome grill I was concerned that it might not perform at peak efficiency.

U have a bel 65x. Hard wired and/or hidden?

I am going for a K40 Undectectable. Radar behind front and rear bumpers and one of the laser jammer options above. This has minimal interior impact. On/Off/City/Hwy (all one switch) and three built in lamps (front/rear + city/hwy). Very unobtrusive and mounted in a blank panel that would be for the Cabrio so I can easily restore to OEM when I trade for M6. But the new BEL Products look pretty comprehensive and perform well, I understand. Another option I looked at was the BEL Pro R75x for a fully integrated system, but the interior pieces seem to take a lot of space. I have to hide mine as the Military bases I frequent get really tough especially when they have their annual ORI or JAG reviews.

I 'm sure plenty of 545 Sport will respond to your ??

Thanks, Good pics.

That looks more like what the first installer had in mind rather than buried behind the grill. The second installer is much closer to home and $300 cheaper for total package so I'll press him to put it out front where it will be the most effective. I'm not too concerned with stealth for this portion of the setup.

Great looking 5er I might add.
