Stance Sucks

Most of us with BMW's are smart enough to realize that. If you have a stanced BMW, you probably drive an e30 or e36.

Lets not even get into hellaflush, theres a special place in hell for anyone who is into that shit.

I'm okay with tuned suspension if it's for tracking. But stance for aesthetic reasoning only (despite my best attempts at letting other people do what they want) really gets on my nerves.

This is my exact feeling as well. Cars with track tuned suspensions are great, stanced cars make me wince.

I think it just falls into a "show car" category that I don't really get, since I like to drive my BMW more than show it off. But I don't really have a problem with lowering, if it can be raised for driving. I dunno. I don't think we all have to argue about it. We can all be enthusiasts.

Kinja'd!!!

Edit: The most well known "stanced" BMWs are neither e30s or e36s.

Kinja'd!!!

I could go on.

i get airbags. I like a comfortable ride, and low cars look good. What i don't understand are permanently slammed cars. The ride quality is terrible, and you are utterly foiled by small potholes and speed bumps.

Agreed. Lowering your car too much does not look good. The same goes for too big rims.

I've got a question about airbags (the suspension kind). How can you constantly change your ride height and have any expectation that your alignment will be any better than "omfg what did I do?!."

It's about to be 1.3" lower because of some Eibach springs I bought to replace my broken ones in the rear, but nothing close to stanced.

would you like some nice antera 123's?

They wouldn't fit, and they don't look very good. If I had the budget I'd get a set of 29's.

offroadkarter > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire
05/09/2014 at 09:06

They probably would fit, but you're right about the not looking good part which is why they are not on my car lol

I am going to buy a set of style 37's, ECS tuning "sells" them brand new, I can get a set for a e39 for 1700 bucks. One day I'm gonna email them and be like "is this legit?"

The offset for a 3 is a FWD style wheel instead of the RWD offset used by the 5 & 7's.

just camber the wheels in a bit and stretch the tires it'll fit

Someone with an e46 was supposed to buy these off my friend to do exactly what I just said

The top image isn't stanced. There is a body kit on it that makes it look low. But yeah, stance is bad.

Lol Rusty slammington. That car makes my eyes cry. What a poor excuse for a car, and a poor excuse for art.

have you been in the stance section of bimmerforums like, ever? Not many 17 year old kids can afford an E31 or afford to maintain, or know how to work on, an e28

http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthre…

Steps to kill e36 game

1) Broadway static suspension
2) $5000 Wheels
3) Camber Plates, Camber arms (-9+ degrees or go home)
4) make friends with "people in the scene" and only hang around those "efamous" scene people.
5) Post pictures of your car with retarded scenester descriptions on instagram. Remember to use spaces in between letters, ( D | A M O N D S, other related pointless shit etc)
6) Turn car into drift car
7) ? (next trend TBD)

Just poke through here. Of course you'll find E46's, E34's, E32's and E38's, but almost every thread in here is "Derrr, how kan I lowur my E36!?"

Also, Rusty Slammington met a very well deserved death by fire. Good riddance to that piece of shit.

First let us establish that NONE of what you posted is "stanced." Lowered does not equal stanced. So right off the bat you've lost credibility. Now, let's address your content. It's a show thing. Getting mad at people stancing cars is like being mad at people for cutting up classic cars for lead sleds and hot rod show cars. Especially with cars that have halos around them (all BMW's) people get all butthurt. Honestly, most of the e36's you see stanced were pieces of crap when the owners bought them. We are talking about German cars that are old enough to have kids in middle school. How is doing this any worse than stripping a car's interior, bolting on a big spoiler, welding in a roll cage, putting in harnesses, modifying the engine, and running a straight pipe exhaust for the track? Both put a lot more stress on the car and ruin what was a "perfectly good" car. When people talk about "ruining" a car, it's like listening to your parents grumble when you put a loud exhaust on your first car; you don't care, and it just makes you look like an old fart. Let people do what they want and get the holier than thou stick out of your ass.

Really? Someone puts their heart and soul into building a car in a way they are happy with and you wish it death by fire? I don't care how you feel about "stance" but someone put hundreds of hours into building a car and you relish in the fact that their pride and joy was destroyed in a garage fire? Are you fucking serious? Put yourself in the owner's position for a minute. Imagine it was your time and hard earned money out into that car. Imagine you and your friends spent countless sleepless nights working on your project, and that you met numerous new friends because of it.

Now imagine yourself having to stand just feet from all of that work and those memories watching it being engulfed in flames, trying to fight the fire back with a garden hose to no avail. Imagine what it feels like to finally accept that there's nothing you can do but watch everything you've worked towards burn to the ground.

Do that and tell me Rusty deserved to die. Do that and tell me that Mike deserved to watch Rusty die. Do that and tell me you would be fine with your own project burning to the ground because other people didn't like the end product.

I'm pretty sure the main rule of Oppo is 'don't be a dick' and that was one of the most insensitive and dick-ish comments I've read on this site.

Please don't.

The rusty one is a bit funny to look at, but why the hell is it on the road and not on a trailer at a car show where it belongs.

How could you even tell if that car got (more) destroyed than it already was? "Was this car on fire since I last saw it?" Not.....sure.....
