Looks mean and menacing, even in innocent white - nice.

Not really my thing. Just looks like the rear bushes are shot.

nah, doesnt work. needs more lows on the front, and a chunkier front tyre, and spacers, and more front camber...

Ha, thanks for the comments. I'm not currently running spacers and the 235/40/17s on the front weren't clearing the coilover springs, hence the smaller tyres. The rear archline is decieving as it's much lower than the front, the car is actually level. I can't take it down some country roads as it is as the subframe beaches against the middle verge so the fronts not going any lower!

The whole point of a 7 series is its ride quality.

Makes me want my E32 back. The whole point of them is to look like a gangsta!

Had an E32 and its ride was

Comfortable enough for you to put 17/18's on there and still not compromise ride comfort [not much]
Had an E38..only car I've ever whacked on 20" rims straight with no mods. The ride is still very very good, although new springs/bushes are on the cards

The car handles incredibly on track so I'm planning to convert it to manual, fit a LSD, LPG it and have some fun. Since lowering the car I've enjoyed it tenfold more, and it's hardly like the ride quality is bad at all.
For all the haters, here it is at 4x4 height

Nice, loving the wheels. Mine's been raised to a similar height now since I've loaned the car out to my dad! I'm also looking for an LSD!
