Niiiice.
Have been looking at the AC schnitzer springs for mine, which will drop it 25mm for half the price of Msport springs. Where are your new lowering springs from and how much did they drop the GT? Looks badass

[olehead]

so you just had the grill done that is not bmw black grill correct as I was told they would not fit the GT -

What a badass GT! Love the white/black exterior theme.

Thank you for sharing. Your ride looks fantastic. Love the black roof. I'll definitely do the same on mine(will keep the spoiler in white) when it arrives in early Dec. I'll keep my original 19" rims though.

Not sure I like the lowering as much, but the 20s fill out the wells perfectly. They should offer 19s as standard and 20's as an option.

This is the first time I've seen an aggressively modded GT, looks so good!

[PARTS@STBMW]

Looks nice!

[BananaCar]

I used H&R sport springs to lower the car.

With this setup the wheels sit flush with the fenders both front and rear...no gap!! No rubbing issues at all and no modification was done on the fenders.

Newbie question what do you mean by +35 +45

It is the offset of the wheel

Very nice!

[smithf80]

Very nicely modded.

Your car looks fantastic. I like the contrast. Alpine white would generally be off my list, however your vision is a great example of how to use it.

Would you be willing to share how the car handles now that you have lowered it and changed the wheels and rubber?

My goal is to use the GT for long trips with the family and the occasional mountain road. Do the larger rims and lower stance make the ride more jarring?

@randone76

How has your ride been since you got H&R Sport spring? nice ride feeling?

Im planning to get one set. But abit curious whether it works like yours because i come with stock suspenssion.

You got M-sport suspenssion rite?

[E30toF30]

I lower my GT 320D 18" wheels just a few days ago using the Eibach spings on the original dampers. The result in term of driving quality is very good : less roll due to lower gravity center, firmer dampering but still confortable, better agility in curve entrance due to a higher reduction on the front than on the rear.

I am very please of this mod than transform this big long car in a more classical sedan in term of driving quality.

Do we have a running thread for GT mods, cosmetics, wheels, etc.?

This is my GT. Lowered with AC Schnitzer springs.

AC Schnitzer Type VIII Bi-color 8,5/10-20, Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/35-20" + 285/30-20"

Thanks for your information. What you are describing regarding the handling is exactly what I'm missing right now. I have the standard suspension, not the M-sport one. Which one did your car have from the beginning?

How many millimeters/inches did the Eibach springs lower the car?

Nice! M-sport and white is a good combination!
How is the stance with the AC Schnitzer springs, is it the same stance front vs. rear?
I think it's hard to see on those pictures...

How many millimeters did the AC Schnitzer springs lower the car? Was the car equipped with M-sport suspension or is that not even an option with xDrive?
