Before & After Pics

jlgwu · 10-31-2011, 11:40 PM

I've been meaning to get these pics up as a comparision but just haven't had time. The first 2 pics are stock.

The second 2 are with ACS springs and the stock 351M's (obviously). I thought I was going to be happy with just the drop. The problem was the wheels sat inside the fenders too much which wasn't evident at stock ride height. I thought about spacers but in the end, decided to get a set of Forgestar F14's. Thanks to Skiingmonkey for supplying the great rims.

The final 3 pics are with the F14's installed. The fenders are filled out nicely. The pics were taken with my Blackberry and aren't as good quality.

After ACS and F14's, the car handles the way a Bimmer should. Absolutely great!

Can you tell me where you got your rear spoiler?

KB7 · 11-01-2011, 10:11 AM

PR_F10_535 · 11-01-2011, 01:31 PM

Nice, looks very clean...specs of rims?

ccboye · 11-01-2011, 01:39 PM

Obviously the drop looks good...much better with lower profile tires!

sanf · 11-01-2011, 02:42 PM

BD997 · 11-01-2011, 04:53 PM

Looks nice! Looks as low as the H

The spoiler comes as part of the M-Sport pkg in Canada. In the US, I believe you need to order it as a separate item. I've read that it's an accessory from BMW.

SolGudman · 11-21-2011, 12:17 AM

by any chance would you happen to know the offsets?

DentalBoy · 11-23-2011, 09:21 AM

Looks awesome!!. Are the F14s 19s? or 20?..how do you like your ACS springs. I think that will be what I get when my F10 comes in..

Suthrn · 12-06-2011, 04:30 PM

What color are your F14's? Thanks

jlgwu · 12-16-2011, 11:48 PM

Colour is titanium.

To answer DentalBoy's question, the ACS springs are awesome! I absolutely love them. They completely change the cars handling and looks of course.
