all of my cars have looks similar to this and i DD'd them everyday for multiple years
I agree. You can DD these all over LA and back again even on roads you are unfamiliar with. I've been driving aggressively to test out if and when my tires rubs and so far one small rub on a big dip going faster than I should have. And I have one key width (the skinny way) of space between my tire and fender. Then again, I'm not running a poke setup.

Check out the M3forums, people are slammed way more than this (some close to the wheel) and daily drive them with passengers without problems. Heck a lot of them track it and go low for track purposes. It may look like the car will get destroyed but if you do it RIGHT, it will not. I mean the look is not for everyone but open minds people! If there's a will, there's almost sometimes always a way . Ooops I realized I got off topic, the aforementioned doesn't really apply to a poke setup...

wheels are incredible

i like the exhaust tips, though gotta be LOUD with straight pipes

drop is a little extreme IMO, and takes away from the overall appearance

but then again, i am not a fan of the slammed look

+1 for euro stickers and tisilver

u can tell he's put serious cash into it..

Here, let me give you an example of how that car "should" look to keep it not only classy but functional:

thats a good looking car no doubt but its simply a cookie cutter setup, anyone can do it and why bother modding at all if you are simply going to do a setup that everyone else does and spend lots of money doing it?

i know you dont like it and thats fine but stop being a dick about it

Wow, I remember when I started with Bimmers with an E36 about 10 years ago.
I had to "read" the road 100% of the time while I drive. I was even slower than most Kia's and Geo's.
After a while, the handling and ride characteristics became rough and unbearable. Then, got married. Sold the car. Bought Audis, Infinitis, etc.
After a series of a few Audis, I sold my wife's A4 and bought her a 3-series.

She fell in love with the car and would never let me sell it. Then it came to me why I thought I hated Bimmers. It's because of the rough ride caused by my former car that I slammed.
Bought a 5'er with sports package afterwards. It's not as lowered as most people here but I get to drive the car with more confidence. Plus I get to enjoy the way BMW designed the suspension.

These cars were designed and engineered to perfection (I'm talking about the confidence-inspiring handling, and yes I'm talking about stock sports suspension).

The only thing I would change (that have an affect to the handling) will be the rims and tires.

Nothing wrong but slammed cars - but I will never settle for "all show but no go" ever again. Just my humble opinion.
BTW, looks good but not my cup of tea.

Not being a dick. Its true. Send your photos to 100 normal individuals and ask them which they think looks better and I bet you over 90% or more will say the "cookie" car. Its a BMW, not a Honda!
