Prodigal545i - Your car looks sweet...I REALLY like the way it sits!!!
From your login name I'm assuming its a 545 but please list some specifics about your ride so we can compare to ours. Such as options and amount it was lowered.
Thanks...and again nice look!

We should nickname Darwin at CarLab, Dr. E60. He's done a lot of work for several people on this forum, me included. He installed my MTech Kit and upgraded xenons. He'll probably be doing my exhaust install next, as soon as I decide on which brand to go with.

Your car looks great...so it's not rubbing at all? Mine was rubbing in the rear, and my car is not even lowered. Darwin tried rolling the fenders but he said something else on inside of the wheelwell is rubbing. I need to get it looked at again cause my car rubs with just 2 people in the car, over bumps.

As for tint, try Extreme Tint & Polish in Santa Clara...a few miles from CarLab, on the other side of 101. I know about 5 people including me who've gotten their tint done there and I think we all got 35% tint all around. Just a suggestion.

Again, great job on your car

Thanks for the comments....

Yeah, both Darwin and I were astonished that the rear is not rubbing. We test drove the car with 5 people in it and the rear did not rub at all. The fenders were not even rolled in the rear. Its crazy because with 5 people the tire is totally tucked under the fender. As for the front we did have to roll the fenders.
