The sport car was my second car for SMD only. I bought E61 because I sold my Estima 3.5

Nope... pick up on my car is still pretty good...! But got sprint booster installed too....

Just make sure your wheels arent tooooo heavy!

also your car has less power than the 523 LCI and I bet it faster than his LCI 523

have you guys watched the episode of tg when they tested 3 e46 325s? the one w the suspension lowered really got the handling (by that I meant under and over steer) all screwed up. so when you mod your suspension, be a little mindful how it would change the way the car handles. if its just the better look people after and you are not in the habit of driving the car to the limit, then its of course ok.
