Looks so, so great. The wheel gap has been taken down to basically nothing. It looks great :)

I'm one happy person right now.

Spacers? The front looks like it could benefit from one.

Looks good!

Looks nice, though it does illistruate my main beef with lowering a car, in that the radius of the wheel opening is set for a certain wheel with a certain gap and when you lower it, it creates an odd looking double radius, I know its not really possible to solve for it easily and I know its minor but its always bugged me.

Did you bottom-out over anything yet? My E46 is low enough that I wouldn’t ever consider lowering more than the factory did.

I haven't! Though I suspect the speed bumps at my mall of choice will be a slight issue.

Just kidding. :) Looks good, congrats!

The front wouldn't hurt from having some, but the back would get hungry for fender well with spacers.

I swear those are next! Barring nothing else breaks.

And thank you!

That’s true.

Just remeber to sloooow down on ramps and shit. My A4 was much lower, but I still had trouble adjusting especially since it had been like a 4x4 before.

Can you do a before and after?

I like it. Though it’s a shame that BMW always makes the fenders lower in the rear. Makes things look uneven.

The rear is too low for my tastes, but I like rake so theres that.

Looks good, is the lowering for handling or for appearance?

Looks mostly. Though when my spring broke it was expensive OEM springs or H&R springs.

I'm gonna see if I have a before picture and compare.

Doh. Forgot to consider the possibility of cost. Legit.

Agreed, uneven gap between wheel and fender at different positions looks weird.
