Hey guys,

Just thought I share our VIP Modular Wheel E61 project with you guys. Our current mods are as follows:

1. VIP Modular VRS 13, 21" competition step lip in SPF finish
2. Rotora 16" 12 pistons front, 15" 8 pistons rear
3. Prior Designs full body kit
4. KW V3 Coilovers
5. Matte White with red and green pearls, painted by Platinum VIP
6. Full Sony audio with a custom install by MV Designz. 4 subs, 2 head rest monitors, custom kick panels, 32" Bravia LCD

There will be more mods to come, such as full interior and engine work. I have posted some exterior pictures and will post more as I get them in. Let me know what you guys think. And you need any advice, let me know. Thanks for looking

Yeah
There are small differences with the axle width (different offset), but the air suspension is similar to the RWD...

The front is full coilovers which are adjustable and the rear are on links provided by KW. The OEM links are made of rubber, while the KW links are made from metal. You can lower the rear by cutting the links provided by KW to make the car even lower.
