What do you think about lowering an oem f10?
Hey guys, so it seem whenever I see a custom f10, its got an M5/M sport body kit. Why no OEM? I'd like to know if anyone has done this or think its worth doing (coilovers?). I guess i sorta like that look of ultimate, but not flashy luxury and refinement the OEM has. Think it'd look better 2 cm off the ground?

If you like that look i see nothing wrong with putting coilovers on an OEM F10, other than it will not be OEM anymore
 But seriously i agree, an OEM will look better a bit closer to the ground  |

They look great! Although I was thinking more along the lines of this:
 I know, its not an f10. But I think you know that its how flat it looks up against the road that I'm looking for. Ill keep searching. Also, I think I found another one on lowering springs:  Courtesy of google

Are those the MORR fs77? are MORR rims good? Ive never heard of them but they look amazing on the 5 series. I wish I could find someone to help with proper fitment... 19s or 20s... dont want to make a mistake and ruin a really nice car.
