Just thought I would share a funny pic I found of my car whilst on a trackday at Cadwell Park this March

I was wondering if I should lower my car or not ???



How to ruin the looks of your car in one easy step huh , pretty sure I would need to get clearance from ground control if I went any faster over the mountain lol.

Smaller wheels will have faster acceleration, but i must admit it looks wired

Yes mate, bonnet half closed, result of checking oil/water in the break then only latching one side properly !!!! every single pic of that trackday shows the damned thing open lol.

Thank gawd for duel bonnet locators !

And yes, the wheels are only 17's from my E34, just put on for that trackday

Its an insane amount of wheel travel for sure

Compare that with a shot of my E46 at the same speed or more with KW V3's, thats the suspension fully extended, any higher the wheels would be leaving the ground.
