VIP Style BMW E60 - 2013 updates!
Just wanted to share some new pictures my friend took this past weekend.
Updates from last year: AirRex air suspension, fixed bumper and fenders.
Next project: rear bumper and exhaust.

The digital management system is pretty dope. The wireless controller that it comes with has a decent range and allows you to control each corner independently or the fronts and rears together. There are also (3) presets that you can program. Based on how the E60 suspension is set up, my "drive height" preset doesn't work properly. The root cause is that the AirRex kit is pressure-based and the rear bag (sleeve) doesn't accurately read the pressure. Kind of a bummer but ForJWorks/AirRex has great customer service and they made it right with me.
The install took maybe 8 hours but we ran into an issue removing the rear KW's, which ate up about an hour.

This kit is one of the more expensive ones out there due to its "pre-built" nature and wireless digital management. When I first started looking, I thought Accuair E-level was going to be the most expensive but its actually ~$600 less than this kit IIRC.
