Hello
has anyone ever lowered their E60 with sports suspension (18") wheels? If so, do you have a pic..
How does it look?
I like the wheels it came with so dont want to buy aftermarket ones..

many have sport suspension and have gone lower. member r1racer had the stock 124s on his 545 and was lowered with H&R sports before he went with 20" wheels.

I have winter tires on my 123 wheels and have used them with the car lowered. It looked better than with stock sport package height for sure. Personally I don't care for the 530 sport package wheels, so now have aftermarket wheels to use for winter (the 123's may become track wheels pretty soon).

While I'm thinking about it, if you do lower with the stock wheels you may want to add 10-12 mm spacers in back. Makes it more obvious that they are inset from the fenders.

Hi members
I'm lowering my 530xd, which is 15cm (5.9in) or so higher than basic rear wheel drive. Will installing H&R sport springs with 18" stock wheels make it too low? H&R sports springs lower the car approximately 35mm (13.8in).
Thanks fellows

Mixed up with cm and mm's. AWD is about 15mm (0.6in) higher than rear wheel drive and H&R sport springs lower the car by 35mm (1.4in).
