I dont think you need a drop. It looks clean! I have an 08 non sport 535i and just installed H&R springs and koni shocks. I parked it next to my buddies 08 sport 535 and compared the height difference. Mine sits lower only a few centimeters so unless you went with coil overs you defintely wouldnt see much of a difference. I have never owned coil overs but i would imagine the last thing you want is rubbing.

Hmm, I'm already running 12mm spacers in the rear. Some of the shots I took specifically to show this (See post #27). Do you guys think I need to go with a more aggressive spacer? Maybe up change it to 15mm?

Ahahaha. I more or less finished what I was working on. There's this last piece that I am not sure I want to continue -- mainly because I feel lazy and have other stuff I need to finish, lol.
