Nerweezy, any ideas?
we have the scoops in stock currently

if you want to do a quad setup, we can provide the parts and you would just have to go to a local muffler shop for everything to be put on and get the piping created

If you want the ultimate go-kart handling just do what I did last week and install H&R front and rear sway bars. AMAZING!!!!! Zero body roll.

Looks awesome. These non sport beemers have way to much space in between the fender and tire. Before the h&r's I felt like I was grave digger.

Next would be shocks. The dampening needs to be adjusted a bit so it's not as "bouncy". Then after this, I'll go for sway bars. Stiffness wise, the car is fine, but I want it to have less rebound.

It's gotten even lower since last week.

But I'm not a fan of lowering springs that's the reason I bought one with sports package.
I lowered my first 3 series and it was a nightmare. It was to stiff and it was too low I had to slow down and watch every small pothole or road irregularities.
Can't drive the car any faster - in fact, I had to drive slower. So for me, its all for show. Just my opinion.
Unfortuanately the factory sport springs are not available on Xi's, they actually sit higher than a RWD. By looking at his drop though, it is not overly agressive like dropping a non-Xi. I think it is a good compromise and it is definitely more than just looks.
