My Ride: 2004 545iA - Built date 09/03, Sport Package, Alpine White III, Grey Interior, Cold Weather Package, PDC, Rear Electric Sunshades, Comfort Seats, Logic 7, Chromed BMW Style 124 18x8, 18x9 Wheels, M-Tech Aero Kit, Rear Trunk Decklid Spoiler, Tinted Windows, Valentine One
Modifications: RDSport Quad Exhaust, 20x8.5 and 20x11 HRE 943R, Vorsteiner CF Decklid, Dinan CAI
I was washing my 545iA sport pkge with the M-Tech kit and decided to look underneath the front right and left front skirt (kneeled on all fours and stuck my head underneath the front bumper). I realized I somehow scraped the front right skirt as well recently. I knew about the scrape on the front left.
Just wondering if anyhow have looked underneath their front bumper and see if theirs are scraped as well?
My car currently has the sport pkage and is not lowered yet. However, I wonder how it will be with H&R sport springs vs. H&R race springs. I assume the race will scrape more even though you always try to be careful.
Perhaps those that have either one of those setup can check underneath their front bumper and see if they have more scrape?

I think that with the H&R race its a 2" drop that might be a bit too much, try and pm Iceman316 he has 20" wheels and 2" drop H&R on his car.

Even being careful I still scrape my bumper, the latest occurring yesterday.
