Toe angle will destroy tires faster than any other angle. Best Practice is to do a quick "toe set" when you do the springs to make sure the toe isn't wacky off. Then bring the car back after a few weeks to do a proper alignment.

Alignments do NOT alter the ride heigh in 99% of passenger vehicles. (your 3 series is in this 99%)

Note - I used to do that for a living to put myself through college.

Agreed!

After alignment, its not going to be a significant drop but just slightly to ensure everything is balanced correctly.

Bilstein is easy and a quick fix, get down and turn the knob. Slightly higher price but worth is nonetheless! Doesn't goes as low as well, decent lowering to me but that is arguable

Curious to see this one lowered on the H&R springs!

I ordered Bilstein B14 a few days ago. They'll arrive tomorrow, but when my friend can install them is another question.

I thought about getting the B16 at first but I have had KW V2 and V3 on older cars and never even touched the settings so I just went with the height adjustables ones this time.

My only issue is with the 20" wheels, and having the car lowered, you gotta be really careful where you drive and watch out for the tiniest of cracks in the road.

I might replace my wheels in the future with HRE's...

Here's a pic of how the 335i looks lowered on H&R Sport Springs...Will get KW or Bilstein next year!

Don't tease me with your lowered car!

It looks so much better with a moderate drop. If you then add the wheels we talked about it is going to be awesome!

I really should change to winter tyres now (this morning it was -2 C), but on the other hand I want to install the Bilsteins with the 20's on so that the ride height is correct. Otherwise I won't install them until spring. Oh, the problems I create for myself.

Do the drop now, please.

I got a price for wheels + tires + shipping so I don't know what each part actually cost. But I got them from Wheels boutique in Miami. They were just great to work with.

1013mm girlfriend had theirs out for sale, check with them!

Alen E90 · 11-07-2012, 03:10 AM

these wheels look soooo stunning on your MR F30

It's a little bit lower now, those pictures were 5 min after the car had been in the air. But I won't slam it to the ground, just a bit lower. But now the car is in winter-mode so no lowering for a couple of months.
