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.

that aggressive stance isn't for everyone but i love it, if the guy can get away with that setup and not rub then job well done to him, not many e60 owners have that setup which is a good thing IMO, yes it might make it a bit more challenging to drive as a dd but looks like he has an e46 as well so he should be good.

I'd not get a stanced car as the only car, and I have no idea how people DD them. I do like some of them, but with me its on a case-by-case basis. Some look unbelievably awesome, others - meh, not my cup of tea.
When it comes to modding preferences though, I want my BMW to look like it came the way it is from the factory - I don't want people to look at it and know that there are any aftermarket parts on it (unless its people who know what's up
).
