Very nice mate, great choice!

Only feedback is to mount that front plate in the middle.

NY requires plates up front, but I'd put it in the middle to keep it clean.

Same with NJ but I haven't had one on my last 5 cars and never been pulled over for it. I don't know if NY is more strict tho.

Verrry nice Mr Clean. And how freaking ossam are those comfort seats?! Once you've had them then it's hard to go back to standard or sports seats. Lookin forward to hearing what you have planned.

I used to get tickets in the parking lot in NYC for no front plate.. Granted I don't live there anymore, I still keep the front plate on.. Jersey is not that much better.
Nice clean car

Thanks guys. Next up wheels and a drop! Thinking of lowering it when I get back from vacation. Just debating between H&R and ACS. ACS will take a bit longer to get shipped but will be worth the wait. H&R drops way too low IMO but is easier to get than the ACS. My buddy who lives across the pond ( UK ) said they have eibachs for the xdrive on all four corners and they ride and drop almost exactly as ACS. Only thing is it will come from abroad and take time to acquire as well... Lets see what happens

I have H&R on my xdrive and wish they were just a little more lower.

If I am not mistaken, Eibach actually manufactures the ACS springs, so I believe they are a actually one in the same. Would be hard to get confirmation on that though. Can't really go wrong with any of those options.

I've been doing a ton of research and I haven't been able to get a concrete answer. In your opinion, how does the H&R drive? Not looking for a super comfy ride, but I definitely do not want a ride like my e39 lol. On a side note I don't care about how bad the roads are because I don't even use the car as a daily driver. I'm also not worried about snow as I won't use the car for the winter. Thanks .

I remember reading up on that a couple days ago. Unfortunately its easier to find them for RWD than AWD and as a result I'm leaning towards H&R since its more accessible. If I don't like the drop/quality I will change it out in fall. When I do install these you have to take a ride just in case you decide to get them for yourself in the future.

It actually still drives nice and comfy not harsh at all. Only thing is you have to drive really slow over speed bumps. And even tho I'd like it to be a little lower for looks only, its actually perfect where its at because I'm not scraping my CF front bumper Lip..

Hey fung , thanks for the compliment! I installed the H11 5000k ddm tuning 35watt HID kit. Actually, the light is more blue than the angel eyes so I ordered the OEM 4300k color. The only reason I have the ddm tuning kit is because my brother had a spare set for his 335 M. I will be changing to the morimoto kit later this week when it arrives.
