My Ride: 545i titanium silver, sport package, premium package.
Anyone noticed that the M-5 sits kind of funny on its wheels. I know that the M-5 rides on 19 and goes with a slightly larger outside rubber diameter and thus the change to the front fenders but, the gap seems huge. The rear wheel looks ok but the front is just not right. Maybe it will look good if you go to a 21" rim and over diameter tires?

I thought it looked great in person....possibly in those photos the cars were accelerating and thus weight was shifted rearward.

My M5 is sitting much higher, especially in front, than my 545iA with sport suspension. It?s like 20 mm or so.
Don?t know why? Maybe because of longer springs to get more comfort in comfort mode on EDC?

who cares... it's an M5.
why does the 3rd pic not have M mirrors or M vents in the front quarter?
is this an early pre production shot?

It does seem high in the front. Is this true on your car Cidair?

[/quote]Yes, it is! Doesn?t look to good, but some German tuner ( Hartge etc. ) will soon have lowering springs.

Cidair,
But you have 3 programes for suspension: Sport, Normal,Comfort.
I understand the car lowers with the Sport one?If so, cud one see it like with Citroen cars previously?

EDC only affects the damping force of the dampers.
In comfort mode it?s gives acceptable comfort.
In normal mode it?s pretty stiff, good for sporty driving on twisty roads.
In sport mode it?s rock hard, good for track use I guess!
