Just installed BC coilovers

This is my first BMW. Picked up a 2012 335i. I left the fronts with the factory setting to see how they’d fit. The rears I probably lowered another inch from factory. Definitely a lot lower but still want to get low. How low can these go while not rubbing on full lock and being able to get up my driveway? Running a staggered setup with 225/40 and 255/35 on 19s. Definitely different than my mustang and the stance I can go with that.

Posted a pic of my weekend/fun car.

Is your vehicle RWD or xDrive?

One way to find out. Drop it more and see if it scrubs 😂 that's what I did with my last car on BC's lowered until it was undriveable then wound up a few mm.

Went that route and it messed up
The rear fender and chipped all the paint off. Just went around the block too. So now that needs to get fixed. Lesson learned. Still going to drop the fronts a little more.
