Get rid of the tints. They will only draw the wrong type of attention to you from the gardai. The car will look better standard.I have no opinion on dropping the front...... but if I did then it would be to leave it standard. BMW designed it to handle & changing the front settings must have some impact on the design. (I'm sure someone will be along soon to correct me ) :D :D

If carlsberg made a E30 sport it would look like that!!!!!!

40mm drop and tints look ok for a MOT over here but your MOT good be more strict.

Nice ride.

Car looks real nice, but i would get rid of the tints. The color of the interior of a car brings out the nice paint even more, you also want the ladies attention. And drop the whole car you wont regret it

Looks nice mate. I'm in the ''keep the tints'' camp. All you need now is a 60mm drop.
