Ok fellas - here's a few more shots. Got a quote for the H&R install today... Gonna try those out first. Like I said I want a more "Sport" stance and def not looking for the slammed stance. If the H&R's are too aggressive (lower too much) I will order a set of KW's and say F#*k it... That way the height can be better controlled. Ugh - this BMW thing is getting addicting... I may have to start going to meetings...

Looks good and with the H&R I think it will sit nice. What are you running in the rear tires?

I am definitely an SF-71 fan--but I agree--darker would be better.

They are very nice wheels. You just need a drop and shadowline trim.

Love the rims!!

What a coincidence, though... I have Alufelgen SF-71 on my 5 too ;-) Mine are Hyperblack, though, which is still pretty light, but nicely works with my Stallion's sapphire black color.

Maybe, you can try a different color.. e.g. Gunmetal (?), just in case you may want more contrast..?

As far as your current choice is concerned, though, I do really like the combo, especially slightly lowered. - Good choice!

Maybe lowereing it, but it is not doing it for me. Sorry man! However, it is all based on your style.
