Hi guys i just got my 325i auto swicthable auto, Lovely car, very well looked after by the previous owner, just needs a good old clean and job done. Had some tsw 17's on there which were not to my taste so chucked some bbs rims on, not much else to do really, in 2 minds to lower it yet. Here are some pictures, enjoy.

You meaning the mats, the black parts of the seats and the dials.

Looks lovely, don't lower it, nice tech 1 or 2 wheel and lose the dials. Replace the matts with beige but I like the seats.

Looks nice, lower the front slightly, set of rear headrests and re-dye the interior. Will look :cool:

Yeah the dials look wrong in this, god knows what possesed him to do it. Slowly but surely changing that, and yeah the wheel aswell to tech 2, thanks for all the comments, pulls like a proper 2.5 and loving the kick down in sport mode. The wife likes it too, which is always a bonus. :D

Slightly too low for my liking, that's going to cost you a sump or front valance pretty quickly! Sure it was 60mm?

I know guys, i had a set of 60mm springs from my brothers car and thought id try and see how it would look, luckily i have no speed humps where i live and roads around my area have been resurfaced so no worrys there,but it does'nt look that nice to be honest and yeah it could be expensive should i come face to face with something on the road, anybody reccomend a decent ride height apart from factory or perhaps putting 15'' bbs on and leaving the springs on (got 14's on now).

Nice looking motor! Are they the 14" BBS wheels? If so think the 15" would look better! 8)
