I cannot get H&R sport springs on Tire Rack or the other vendors (like Vivid Racing). Can you tell us where you ordered them from? Also, how long was the installation? I was told about 5.5 hours which seems too long.
Thanks

When you modify anything from stock, it is a personal taste decision. I personally like it but not everyone will. Overall I think it looks great.
In Florida, we are not required to have front license plates but I do like the look of the euro plate and did not want to drill my bumper. Thanks for the link to the vendor and the velcro idea. |

Hmm, cool idea. How well does it stay? Any worries about the Velcro being taped to the bumper as in damaging the paint? I'm just looking for good simple ways to get a plate on the car with drilling holes as I'll have to change it once I get back stateside, I like the Velcro idea if its stays nice and tight.

The comments from others on the whiskers: It is actually more subtle in person but the front of the car needed something red and I hated the silver that was there. I debated black, but then the cool feature would disappear into the bumper completely. White could have been cool too, but as a designer I felt like the front needed to have some red to bookmark the car's front and back ends. Finally got a little rubbing on big bumps on the freeway this weekend. Of course I had 5 people in the car. And now it rubs on the inside fender not on the edge anymore so I can live with that . I doubt there will be many trips with that many people. |

Regarding your HR setup did you go with sport springs. Super sport or the coil over setup? Hw much did it lower the front, rear? Is it a harsher ride now, does it bottom out at all, I know you have bigger wheels so that plays a factor by just curious. I have a 335xi M sport just got it and hate how the awd version are not lowered the Xtra 10mm not too big of difference but I feel the ride quality is over dampened and softer than what I would expect froma sport suspension. Was looking into HR setup just wanted to ask first someone who has already done it and get input..
Thanks happy New Years and great car |

first of all fuck anyone that doesn't like the stripE i think it fits the aggressive look of the car well and its set u apart i was actually thinking about putting one on my car. If u dnt mind me asking, how much did it cost? I dnt like the red whiskers at the front but honestly its not about what i like as long as u like it. The car is aggressive and look sick

Quite a striking ride! Certainly you aren't going to see another car like yours - good on you. Must be a bit of a cop baiter though - do you get pulled over much? Mine is an Estoril Blue M-sport and I get picked out in any group of cars by the state troopers. Have to be quite careful

I love the choices you have made on the car. Whiskers and stripes. I would however like to see a carbon fiber lip on the front!

Wow. Sorry all. Fell off the planet when it comes to forums. Stupid life getting in the way of fun. Work got crazy busy these last couple years.
To answer some questions: Yes VIP, those tire specs are correct. Lets just say over time the car definitely rubbed on every big dip or bump in road. But doesnt cause any damage to the actual car and just made me wear the tires down more agressively than I would have otherwise. But since I ended up having a set of 19s as well I alternated those two wheels and currently have stock back on. Agememmon I actually havent been pulled over once. I also love the cruise control on this thing and unless I am on the autocross track, I try not to be too agressive. Cruise at 81 is perfect because one click on cruise control drops 5mph without brakelights and by the time i pass the cop i am only doing 75 and no ticket or pull over |

The stripe is not something I would consider for my car, but I think it looks great on yours. Very distinctive. Can't say that I've seen it on any BMW here in Oz.
