3) EDC rear control had to be replaced, car sat at dealer for 2 weeks while parts had to come from Germany.
Total cost would have been around $3000 by now, but thank god for warranty I didn't have to pay anything.
I wouldn't drive this car without warranty, I'll be looking for an extended warranty when the factory one is up.
And if your going to get a 7 get the Li, whats the point in a big body 7 if it aint the Li  |
LOL I think you can say that about any bimmer....

If you look at the 3rd last pic where the comparison of the rear springs are, you can see the spring compressors on both sides of the springs on the ground

Very True, but again "Reliable" and "e65/66" should never be in the same sentence.

Looks Good!! What was the actual amount the car dropped. My e32 has similar spring height differences but ended up about 3" lower all around... AND I LOVE IT.
Your wheel and ride height combo is nice too

Do you have any Idea what size spacers I would need to make my stance more aggressive? Not quite like yours but maybe just a little poke?

15 mm H&R spacers for the rears are in, will be putting em on when the weather gets nicer and I put the insurance back on the girl
That will bring it flush with the fenders

I dunno for your ride , but for mine (E66) I measured out my rear tire to the fender and went with 15mm. I thought about 20mm but it would be a hit or miss if I would have to roll the fenders so I just went with the 15mm to be safe.
Got the spacers from ECS Tuning
http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/...=Wheel+Spacers
H&R DR-Series 15mm spacers (pair) ES#294 $85.00
45MM bolts x 10 ES#188 $30.00
Problem is there's no security bolt with it , so gonna have to live without one on the rear tires.
