Need advice
#1
I know this topic has been discuss quite a bit (I've read every archived post) but I have to ask. I am thinking about lowering my wife's non-sport 2006 525. I think that will set the 19's off. But since it belongs to the wifey, she will not be happy if the ride is not as good as it is now. I think it would be okay for me but, it is not for me to okay. I don't know anyone with a lowered E60 here in Pensacola so I can't have her feel the ride for herself. So if I went with some Eibach Sport springs and Koni adjustable shocks, do you think she will be able to tell the difference? I am hesitant to buy the stuff only to have my wife say take it off.
Anybody who has lowered their ride(E60 only) or been in one, how big is the difference in ride quality?

Just put it on and don't tell your wife . If your wife asks "why is it so bumpy?" just say it feels the same to me honey

I would agree with iceman316 whole heartedly. With all due respect, most females would not be able to discern the difference. When I first put my KW coilovers on, I had it pretty low and to me, it was pretty stiff and bumpy but my wife had no clue. Since then, I've raised the car a bit and she still has no clue. One advantage you have is that you have the adjustable konis so you can dial in the stiffness if your wife does notice anything.
