My Ride: 2008 535xi 6MT Monaco Blue 1968 AMC AMX 390 4 spd White/red
Default

New to this board as I see that more mod-related information is here. My '08 535xi 6MT has new staggered (Beyern) wheels, and a few other things. I am researching the pros and cons (including difficulty/cost of installation) of KW V3 coilovers versus just H+R lowering springs...... ALSO, I have an O3 M5-style trunk wing in Monaco Blue, but I cannot seem to post it on the private classifieds forum page. Do I need to accumulate more time here or more posts before receiving this posting privilege?? Thanks gang.

welcome to the forum...if you ever need someone to install your suspension and don't mind driving about 1 1/2 hours south, we can install it for you. i have just recently installed the KW V3's on my 525XI!

Warm welcome - thanks. Quickly:

- PA plate on car in pic as we still own a house in NE PA (on market) but have basically relocated to north shore of Boston.
- Jay Bimma: Thanks and I will contact you regarding installation/offer (cost, time, etc.)
- Any advice regarding posting to private classifieds? I have an OE M5 E60 trunk winglet that I am not using.

Thanks again.....

not sure about posting in the classified section, but for sure you need 5 posts or be a member for 10 days to get your pm up and running...so perhaps you need the same to post a FS thread.....

Okay, even though it is probably a faux pas - but we can chalk it up to rookie error or peer pressure! Here it is, Monaco Blue, good shape. Asking $200 plus shipping, attaches with 3M tape - nice touch.
