Isn't that a 7-series with seriously large wheels? (At least 21")

Looks like a nightmare to clean those wheels! (Toothbrush job!)

With the fenders rolled the car doesn't rub. However with 5 people in the car, going over speed bumps is a challenge.

Coilovers will be a bit more bouncy than stock shocks (from what I hear). My M3 was terrible with PSS9's, but damn did she handle.

The car is normally not that low... it just looked funny to me with all the junk in the trunk and how low the car got. Normally the car is just as low as anyone elses on this forum that has lowered their car. At first I wasn't really feeling the chrome and Silver wheels to me wouldn't look right on a black car. (Maybe a silver car) everyone has their preferences. My M3 was more the racer type car my 545i is more the bling......

Here are some before and after pics:

Not Lowered


Lowered (normal)


Heres a pic of the M

Thanks for your comments....
