I was wondering are the sport model bit lowered then the non-sport?

I'm hoping so..

I want to get the style 166, but I don't I want to drop the car


look at my 530/sport

doesnt it look lowered? I mean I know there 18" but still?

If you get the BMW Sports Suspension or the Sports Package (which includes the Sports Suspension), the car is lower, but I'm not exactly sure by how much.

True except for "XI" (All Wheel Drive) models . (You can understand why)

Sport suspension drops the ride by 0.7" from factory, non-sport suspension. Lowering your car using the Eibach Pro-Kit would give you an additional 0.5" drop over sport suspension at all four corners. You won't have to lower your car after adding 166s, but most would say it gives the car a better, more aggressive stance.
