It's a bit lower than the usual sport package. Sport springs were replaced by previous owner. It also looks like the fenders were rolled, which opens up my options to some new rims.

Here are a few pics of the 2004 545i... short of some new rims.
Too many out there to choose from; I just know I'm looking for
light-forged rims of high quality. Any suggestions are welcome.

Looks like someone did the some mods on it already. Looks very nice, I especially like the driver side fender .

I just realized what recently happened to your car. Sorry to hear that buddy.
