I have a 545i with sport package. I am looking into spacers but I do not know whether they are worth it or not. Anyones advice would help, and pics even better. Btw. I have the stock 18s sport package. P.s. I am also looking forward to dropping it a tad. Not sure what springs would fit best.

SSSEEEEAAARRRCCCHH.
Sorry dude, but you need to put in the effort to research for yourself. All the info is there, and search really aint that hard to navigate.
And that is why nobody replied to your post.
Cheers!

Really?? As stated, SEARCH is your friend. Or look at sigs and you will see a ton of people running 5mm-20mm spacers... you can even look at the vendor section of the forum and see a ton of replies from people who have purchased different brands and what the feedback is...

To be fair i think about every aspect has been covered on this forum, and if all everyone did was search then there would be no new threads on the forum, i thought this was a community forum with people who have the same interests who were willing to share their knowledge?.....the guy is fairly new to the forum judging by the amount of posts he had......i say had as from the date he has posted it doesnt look like he has posted since he had the warm welcome.

Imo if you can't be arsed to help and post an answer, don't post at all.

So sorry mother....... Mother, stop scolding me...

It doesn't take a genius to scan the threads and see what's discussed. Furthermore, I made a suggestion or 2 on where to look...

+100 Right on man. A LOT of people ask redundant questions on here. It's the nature of forums. Also, I think it's cool for people to interact personally and get a dialog going that OFTEN ends up going in different directions and opening up options and ides that were previously not thought of. Also, if we rely purely on archives then we never get perspectives from those who weren't members since those discussions were posted. ADDITIONALLY (while it may or may not be the case with this question), there are OFTEN new innovations that can be brought to light that were non-existent at the time of archived conversations. Perhaps something didn't pan out well...maybe a particular brand has become obsolete...maybe something new is BETTER, etc. Personally, I think being part of a forum where every time a question is asked, members scour the archives and if it has been asked before, they just say "read the forums"....BORING (and sort of nasty).

Anyway, I can't be of much help here with spacers as I just get wheels with good offsets. Currently running 19x9 et18 front and 19x10 et25 rear with a sport pkg and it sits quite nicely. For the drop, the Dinan suspension worked out well for me also. here are a few pics as requested by the OP.

Good luck and WELCOME again to the forum.

I agree. BTW The search function on this forum isn't too good. No. It sucks
