i think it is one of those great feelings when your car starts looking how you want it....

when i bought & picked up the 323 recently it looked like it had been lifted by 6 inches so when i collected it from the garage after fitting the 40mm drop springs it just looked amazing.

i think anymore than 40mm is not really necessary but it is personal choice..

well done mate - keep the pics coming..

Thanks for the comments guys my only other plans are a set of diy smoked headlamps when i get the time.I was planning on a set of deep borbets but the bbs have really grown on me so i'm gonna keep them for now :cool:

spray the centre of your bbs black...it'll really set you car off nicely!!!

i have been thinking about doing just that but with a polished lip i hand polished the rocker cover on my old 320i and that didn't come out too bad

its just finding the time (and a spare set of bbs)

hello, just in process of buying a tourer- yours looks really nice--i take it those are standard bbs in the pics were the car is on the grass in front of the houses ? thats the look i'm trying to achieve

Mate, I can tell you're very happy with that! It looks nice. I think lowering is one of the best mods you can do for appearance. I can't wait to have mine done!!! :mad:
