WELCOME TO THE CLUB! Woohoo!
Speaking of car being lowered and the snowplow thing, etc. Today there was some raccoon roadkill in the center of the left lane with a car on the right and I couldn't avoid it so I had to go over it at about 55mph. I was so freaked out because it was a fat one and I was sure that I was going to clip it with my m5 bumper. I ran over him, looked in the mirror and noticed he wasn't as fat anymore. I then pulled over ASAP, looked at the front end and there was nothing. WHEW! I was panicked! =p I think I just gave the poor guy a little pancake action with my underbelly.
Putting your car on H&R sport springs has its challenges. But damn, it looks and handles great.

Backstory: My wife is finishing nursing school this month, but there are no nursing jobs here in MI. The Tint laws SUCK in MI (none in the driver and passenger window allowed) so I am waiting until we find out if we need to move for her to find a job (AZ or SOCAL fo sho) before I tint.

Where did you get your M5 166's? How much did you pay?
I am going to buy some for my 545i Sport Suspension but deciding on M6 offset with 19" or 20". Need to know where everyone is getting good deals on them.
Your 550 looks very nice, I need tint on my windows as well but it just looks classy with no tint in my opinion.
