2007 335i Coupe  [0.00]
Sparkling Bronze - Sport - Xdrive28i

**Car lowered at post #8**

Took delivery at the beginning of the year...

- Sport
- Lighting

Thats it. No roof. No power seats. My very own LTW package




Comparison of my Legacy wagon that is dropped 2"


As you can see, black grilles installed at delivery...

Plans are to include a mild drop (H&R sports most likely), spacers, JB4 and downpipe

Nice! I want to get spacers for my Sparkling Bronze as well. How did the 12mm/20mm work? Are the wheels now flush? Seems like several people on here have spacers but of varying sizes.

Thanks!

There is certainly more room... I would say at least another 5mm to make them flush... I will probably get larger tires to fill the gap, but won't try another size spacer due to possibility of rubbing while turning...

Look great. I am from Wilmington NC and the only thing keeping me from getting a X1 is height . If you would PM me and tell me how much it cost to lower it that would be awesome and move me closer to a X1. Thanks

Springs were around $250...

Install and alignment is probably close to 5hrs. labor total (book time)... Your dealer may vary...
