I have installed OEM sport springs on my non-sport along with 124's. I still think I am riding a tiny bit high compared to other e60's I have seen driving.

Can you all do me a favor and either give me a measurement from the floor to the center of the fender or just tell me how many fingers you can fit into the fender gap? I greatly appreciate it!

It should be lower by 15 mm only.

If it is too much trouble to measure, can somebody just tell me how many fingers fit into the fender gap, front and back?

when i installed this it was still higher i dont know what it is but i do agree with you and there is a difference that you might no see on paper, but is visually there. but the handling did improve though right?

Finger method isn't accurate since people have different size fingers. lol.

I think the correct way to measure wheel gap is to go from the bottom edge of the rim and measure to the edge of the fender wheel well while on a flat surface.

Like this:


I can measure mine for you when I get the chance.
