Front bumpers-amits.jpg

This is really my favorite look. I know he has hamman style spittler. What else would i have to do?

Also what do you think if i were to just change the front bumper? I dont really want to spend all that it requires to get the whole kit, painted, and put on!! I can handle the front!

any suggestions?

thats just the mtech kit

you would need the skirts and rear with the splitter

he has also lowered it a lot

your rims are going to show you how much wheel gap you will hvae

you need the h&r springs to go with the wheels

Start with the M5 Umnitza front bumper....believe me, it's so much nicer looking that the m-tech in person, and on here.

You can work your way to the sides and rear bumper later.

working on lowering....from what ive read springs are a waste of time. coilovers.

he has lowered it a lot, he also has 19's. i will have 20's. i dont need to drop mine to the ground.

why would i need the side and rear? maybe the sides and front but the rear isnt needed

Need is a relative term. I think once you have the front and sides done that you will ultimately want to "finish" the job with the m-tech rear bumper...or M5 bumper if you want quads later on.

Check out Too Solid's 535xi lowered on H&R's with MIRO's....sweet looking ride.

you will have more gap with bigger wheels because of the smaller amount of tire, the gap with be pronounced more

coils are the best way to go but I think the cheapest is the H&R kit for $1k or so.

If you are doing a kit, do the full kit

Indeed this is a great looking combi. Ofcourse you don't need the skirts for the m front and hamann splitter, but if you have such front, then there is something missing if you don't have the skirts.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if the rims in that first pic are of 19's, I am assuming AWG's car will have the same tire height since hers are 245/35/20 and 275/30/20....actually taller overall circumference than what that guy is running, assuming he's got 245/35/19, 275/30/19.

So, I would think the 20's should fill out her wheel wells even better...bigger wheels, same sidewall height.
