Your car looks super nice. I like your choice of wheels--the best blacks I've seen. Did you lower?

EuroCarFan

Thanks Donv. If I hadn't done so on your other post, I'll say it now, your wheels look awesome on your car as well. Very sporty and clean, true to the BMW style.

My wheels look more like gunmetal than black. I thought it would be gloss black when I ordered them but it's not but I'm happy with how they look. And no, I didn't lower my car. It just has the sports package so it's a bit lowered already. My car rubs on the right rear going over bumps fully loaded. I'm having that side rolled on Monday. Just got my MTech kit installed today too and I think it sits just right. Probably not going to lower it but who knows....

You did say it, but thanks again anyway. So, your car sits about an inch higher than stock? Not noticeable, though, even if true.

EuroCarFan

Yeah, there's about an inch gap. I guess I'm fine with it. We have a e60 meet this Sat so I'm hoping to see if any other car is lowered and how it looks.

So Bambi, when are you getting your kit and rims?

I think maybe I am confused. I was thinking that your wheel size and tire heigth put your car an inch higher than stock. Am I wrong? I wasn't talking about a gap. I think your car looks just fine without lowering. I suppose it might look a tad better lowered, but doing it right is sort of expensive, and I hate to mess with the the BMW engineering. Also, it would just give me one more aftermarket item to remove (probably) when I dispose of the car.

EuroCarFan, I'm thinking maybe I should do everything after the winter since snow is pretty bad up here. I just want to see the different sizes of rims on the e60 before I make a decision.
