.BMW. · 04-24-2016, 01:26 PM

Very nice!

I agree that the front wheels could be slightly more aggressive.

wdeerfield · 04-24-2016, 01:49 PM

My god. Your car has come a long way and it looks amazing. Nice work! I gotta get. Front lip for my f10 already. Ever since I got my f30 I've been neglecting the f10

There was a time when I would have asked my wife but she would have given me that weird look and say 'whaaat, you can't be serious'. Besides, she's not allowed to drive my car since she put kerb rash on the 528 a few years ago.

GODDAMN, I think I'm in love

Night and day difference bro. So jealous I'm not on 21s yet.

Ha ha You are Crazy

Car looks sick

Great job !!!!

remmib · 04-25-2016, 08:16 AM

Oh yeah, now it looks proper.

Look at that rear fitment, but are you sure you won't rub under heavy load/suspension compression?

Thanks remmib!

I was waiting for you to chime in as I always value your critique

the drive back home was about an hour and I did not rub at all in the front or rear. The trunk was loaded as I had a 65lb low profile heavy duty Jack, tools galore and all 4 OEM struts/springs so I'm guessing I had a good 100lbs+! Over speed bumps and what not I can hear the coilovers compressing but no rubbing with that load in the trunk. I unloaded the trunk when I got home and I still don't rub. I'm sure during the week it'll settle some more and I'll report back. For the most part nobody since in the back. What do you think of the fronts as other's have mentioned I need to add a spacer? If so what size can I get away with you think?

I think the 21's aesthetically suits the body on the 5er! From a distance the car with the bigger wheels and wider tires makes this car look like it's hugging the ground especially sitting as low as I am. I know you we're looking for 21's before but if you can...go for it as it'll make your GT stand out that much more!

The fronts looks a bit more tucked than the rear, but I also know wheels tend to look more tucked in pics than looking at them in the flesh.
But 5mm, making it ET25 shouldn't be a problem, 10mm might work to, but I imagine some slight rubbing then.

EL Jeffe 5 · 04-26-2016, 02:24 PM

Damn Bro that looks Sick

lsturbointeg · 04-26-2016, 06:51 PM

alright...last one's!

Redrckt135 · 04-26-2016, 10:43 PM

Looks awesome, I'm glad my coilovers went to a good home. Enjoy bro, I told you that you'd fall in love.

GetYourWheels · 04-27-2016, 05:01 PM

The drop completely changed the look of the car!
I think I'm in love

Now go get that thing a nice wash and wax

Edit: Just saw the washed pics

PJinCA · 04-27-2016, 05:29 PM

The wheels and stance made it look absolutely gorgeous. Nice work bro.

lsturbointeg · 04-27-2016, 06:45 PM

For those of you interested in new wheels get a hold of Jason from GetYourWheels.com who just posted above gave me partial sponsorship on these wheels as they took care of me in getting good prices and absolutely AWESOME customer service!

Roswell · 04-29-2016, 09:29 AM

Looks amazing!! This should have been ur first mod.

xxpanipuri · 05-01-2016, 04:56 PM

did you do the EDC Delete?

also can you raise it up some more if you wanted to?

i think the car looks dope! my personal preference would be to raise it up a tad bit.

How difficult was the install?

1)didn't need the EDC delete

2)KW's are adjustable coilovers so you can set the height to whatever you want to

3)i like the stance right where it sits as there's no finger gap at all in the wheel well.

plus i have yet scraped anywhere that i drive

4)for the install i did plenty of research here and asked questions and Bmw double helped out with his YouTube videos

you do need 2 people to do this on some of the task. but for the most part i was able to get this done in a garage on jacks in about 6 hours

gabypr · 05-01-2016, 05:47 PM

Sick ride man. Those coilovers was a nice investment.

No EDC delete? Why is that?

Looks good. Not x-drive I'm guessing based on the front strut design?
