Can anyone tell if the car in the original pic is lowered? I think it looks awesome the way it is and wonder if I would need to lower my car to achieve that look.

Thanks!

I _think_ it's just the standard sport setup. When you buy the m-sport body kit, what you won't get is the m-sport suspension, which sits lower than the regular suspension.

That looks like stock sport suspension to me. And Mike, just lower your car already! I went through the same contemplation as you before I got my coilovers. Is sport suspension low enough? No it's not. DO IT! =)

Totally agree, sometimes trying to save a buck here or there ends up being more expensive at the end and for things like this, you might want to make sure you are totally satisfied with the fit and everything.
Rieger Bodykit fits perfect... its like an OEM fitment....

Don't know but personally, like DennisM, I wouldn't want to be contacting an overseas vendor and having parts like that shipped to me !! I would want to go in to my local BMW shop, say "can I have this fitted please", pay, and drive my car out with the new parts. Even if it's genuine OEM parts, which I expect it is, it's just too much hassle. Dennis is paying for original parts, from a BMW shop, _fitted_ by a BMW shop. That can't be compared to an overseas parts "shipping" person/company. I would rather pay a bit more to have the job done properly ... as I always say, if we were worried about saving a few pounds here and then, we'd hardly be driving round in E60s would we !!
Yes i am getting everthing from the shop originaly =) so i dont mind they will fit everthing for me aswell
