Worst 5 I've ever seen (and that's including crashed ones). For some, the lower the better and it can't be too low. For me, the standard ride height is the best. I know it's 'on bags' and won't look like that once the engine starts, but it's bad enough that it ever has to look that bad.

Just my humble opinion, ymmv.

You can tell when a luxury car crosses a certain price on the used market. The ghetto mods begin. Can undercarriage neons and a giant wing be far behind.

That's pretty ignorant to say..
Says alot about your character

It's called "modding" and who ever did this put alot of time, $, and work into this.
So for you info it's far from "ghetto" as you say. Educate yourself, please.

I'd like to add my declaration of ignorance too. It also says a lot about my character because I totally agree with rodneyremington.

Great look, but not certain it would perform the same on air bags vs just putting adjustable coils and springs. Good for appearance though.

I think it looks extremely "Ghetto" and seems very non-functional. Try going over some speed-bumps in your local neighborhood or the strip-mall...

Basically, if you want to "bag" your car get a Caddy not an E60 - it is too much a drivers car for that.

It's obvious that it's a show car and nothing more. People love to hate.
