That looks great. I hated those rims when you posted pics before next to the Volvo (think it was a volvo SUV) but they look amazing now.

Oh, your sig says your rims are twenty feet

Ya, 09 XC90. They did not look as good when the car was not dropped. I agree, now they look real good. THe drop made all the difference.

Great car, looks awesome with a drop too. Don't see too many modded M35/45's around either. In fact I think I can count on one hand the number of them I've seen in person. Looks great!

Not much of a BMW guy. Well I love the 7 series and the X5, other than that, BMW's dont do it for me. I think it is the german insides that I dont like.

Looks hot. I dare say maybe it is a tad bit lower than I would like. But I'm getting old.

How does it drive?

Indeed looks good. Are you going to regret giving up 40% of your ground clearance to do so?

I think it drives pretty good. It handles a lot better, the ride is a little bit harsher than before, but overall not bad.

I had a friend drop it for me. The backs are very simple. Only have to take out one bolt. The fronts looked complicated.. He charged me $100..

No problems with the ground clearance. I have only rubbed once, and that was when Ihit a big dip in the road.

You are dead on man.. My wife drove it to work on Saturday. She showed her co-workers and they loved the car, I said, what do you think? She said it looks real good, but I hate driving it. Of course I ask why? She said, its too bouncy and that she has to be so carefull its not worth driving... I dont think its bouncy.. It lost a little comfort, but the look makes it worth it..
