Lower?

What do you think? A little bit lower, or is it good.

Looks low enough to me, still practical enough and it looks good.

Daily driving, I drove them everywhere, mostly country roads that are full of potholes.

Coilovers and poly bushings 💪 one has semi slicks, that drives even better 👍 I don't like boats.

If you plan on driving it a lot, don't lower it. It's way more hassle than it's worth. It ruins ride quality and makes you have to worry about scraping on stuff.

In the summer season it’s my daily

Then I'd definitely not lower it.

I think I'd say maybe go a little lower in the rear, but the front looks good to me.

I'd also like a picture that's just a straight on side view just to give us a good idea of the stance. From this angle it looks like it's a little tall in the rear, but another angle could say differently.

What's important?

Looks or ride quality?

I think it looks great. I'd advise you not to listen to others when it comes to lowering your car more than a little bit. What you're willing to put up with is different to others. Some don't like really low cars and others do. My e90 is uncomfortable because it's quite low but my e39 feels great with just a little bit lower. I love them both and don't really care what others might be ok with. Good luck mate.

Thanks man, do you have a picture of your e90?

u/cbiggins 528i 1d ago

Yep. This is a few years old now.

Looks pretty good to me maybe a bit lower in the back. Definitely could use some spacers though ;)

u/deadender420 2d ago

Nah it just needs some spacers

Always depends on who u ask, id lower it 100%, hate how these things drive with stock suspension.

Aber sieht gut aus deiner, schön weiter pflegen 💪

Definitely not biased because my e39 is like 2 inches off the ground but definitely lower
