Here they are, my new BBS's. I'd like some ideas for some further mods. I've con sidered brakes but as you all know the car stops VERY WELL already. To spend "BREMBO" money just for the looks is a hard pill to swallow. Then again the BBS's weren't exactly free. I was thinking about a body kit? Lowering? Anyhow let me know what you trhink so far.

Looks good! You can never go wrong with BBS.

Next on the list should be getting a drop - and then body kit only after you've done that. BBK are for looks only unless you track hardcore - aftermarket pads + fluids are sufficient for the occasional track work.

Sweet rims! That's one of my favorite wheels. But do you really need to ask if it needs lowering?

What model is that? It looks so high that I am guessing it's an xi. It looks like mine did, pre-drop.

SLAM that thing and then it will look like it's supposed to! Lower first, then deal with the other mods. Good luck!

I sent you a PM and responded on your other thread. H&R is the only company, so it makes it easy. That's your only choice.

Nice wheels, nice color car. I have a Silver Gray 545i. I can't wait until spring I put my BBS LM's on.

I'm also wondering what next... Looking at Mtec sport body kits, Alpina front and rear spoilers, Carbon Fiber interior. Then again tire rack had a nice suspension kit, Koni FSD shocks with Eibach lowering springs for about a 1.2 inch drop. So many choices but nothing is cheap!!!!!
