My Ride: 545i
Model Year: 2004
Engine: N62
What size are those wheels? I only ask becasue the car looks to high, even with lowering springs installed. I'm with everyone else in saying something doesn't look right. I have less gap on my factory sport package. Eibachs should drop the car about 1.2" on non sport and about another .5" (factory sport package is already .7" lower) on sport package equipped cars. Are they the right springs for your model?

they do look like 17's
but
but
ahh, i just called the shocks shop that i bought the springs from, they told me they cannot confirm if the springs were actually made for 545i or 525i because it was a package with koni's, but they did tell me to get the eibach springs number directly fromt he springs so they could confirm it and if koni's happened to have packed it with the wrong springs, they will pay for the labor...
