Members with H&R springs
I've had my springs installed on my '13 535i about 800 miles ago and recently had new wheels installed. I've had my wheels aligned and feel as though the rear of the car has gotten higher in relation to the front.
The car looks pretty raked forward and wanted to ask if some members would spare a moment and take some measurements at the edges of their side skirts right behind the front wheel well opening, and the edge of the skirt before the rear wheel well. I would really appreciate the help so I can compare. Thanks! |

I think its normal, considering that the drop is 1.4" front and 1.3" rear.
Mine sat pretty even (at least looked like it did) with stock wheels and winter tires (255/40/19) on all corners. Since I've installed 19" M345's with 255/35 & 225/40, the front is noticeably lower than the rear. Installed Style 345's by ONEighty_NYC, on Flickr DSC_8423 by ONEighty_NYC, on Flickr |

You might be experiencing what a forum member went through last year. If the front is dropped severely and it drives off, your springs may have been put in wrong. Meaning fronts went in the rear and rears went in the front.
Do you have pix of the car and can you read the code on the springs to verify? Here is mine with H&R springs.

I do see what you're talking about but I think it's an illusion...exaggerated by the front lip.
It looks similar to Lacsters stance IMO. Sweet looking ride. LOVE the gunmetal with white. Every time I see those superdeep F14's I wonder if I should sell my CF10's!!!

Are any of you guys running just springs with stock shocks? I ran just hr springs on oem m sport shock on my e92 and the ride was garbage and rubbed when I hit bumps. How is your ride if you just have springs? I have a '14 528 and thinking of dropping it and putting new wheels.

And your car looks great. I wouldn't worry about it @bimmerMsport. Probably just slight paranoia after the install haha. |

Oops I mean stock "shocks" haha
I think taking a look at other models (535, 550, etc.) on 20s would give you a good idea of how the car will sit. and sorry for a slight hijack OP. |
