Should I lower? E60 530i

[nma]

looks perfectly fine to me...

Don't care about your car. Post more pics of E46 M3.

My opinion? Lose the spacers, lower it, get some narrower front wheels, and wider rear tires.


But you probably don't want my opinion.

It would look better lower, but realistically, those wheels wont fit without some effort.

If you do decide to lower your car. Don't cheap out. Get a good set of coilovers. You don't need to buy the most expensive, but something reputable and well know to add to your current setup. Last thing you want is a bouncy uncomfortable beamer.
My 2 cents...

^ it is silly to get coilovers for a 5sers or something not intended to race, I had a perfect set of eibach + bilstein on my Mercedes, ride height and comfort are already the best when installed. Then switched to BC racing coilover, not that I am complaining about the quality of the set, but it took me so much time and money to get myself the right setting.

To the OP: get rid of those spacers, maybe only 10mm front, 18mm rear. Roll the fenders and get a set of Eibach sport

Those wheels won't fit with smaller spacers as they will hit the strut.

Sell those wheels and get some that actually fit in the front without looking silly.

I like how an answer that seems to answer, but actually has nothing at all to do with the question, is repeatedly perceived as witty.

It still amazes me to this day how some people here are so scared to lower their cars or have a bit of camber (not referring to OP). Cracked oil pans, darting like crazy because of camber :S If anything, I doubt the people making these kind of threads asking for advice on lowering their cars would want to completely slam it to the ground, which is the only way their oil pan or anything else would get scuffed. Our roads aren't great, but they're definitely nothing to be afraid of unless your frame is an inch off the ground or less lol.

On topic; looks a bit funny to me with that height and such an aggressive setup for wheels. Imo lower it, but to each their own. From reading the thread though it doesn't really look like you're able to lower it without doing a good roll and pull on the fender, since you can't take off the spacer and still fit the fronts with that spec :/

lower it

and that e46 needs more camber up front, that thing is poking too.

wht's wrong with running a 10" wheel on the front?

anything is possible with some camber and stretched tires
