Lowered it front and back, still having issues with my tire width..
Tomorrow i'll be making some pictures of the car as it is.

For now: ducati monster s4r 2006 with beemer

As far as I remember, there are two different rear axle widths existing.
The smaller engines – like your 520 – had the wider ones.
(Or maybe I remember some proper rubbish, someone here will know.)

You can't go wrong with an E28. Miss mine still.

Love the E28.
The strange fact is that I only have issues with the right-front tire. Left front fits perfectly. Everything is the same, also wheel width, tire width and ET. Will be inspector gadget in a couple of minuts to see if we can figure it out.

As promised some pics of the current status:

Looks nice! You should get a front spoiler that fits in with the trunk spoiler something sporty!

Hi all,

Been a while. Became a dad since last time visit

Because of that I haven't had much time to spend on my e28. But we've bought a family car next to the 520; 2001 525D High Executive chipped to 200hp (full leather, automatic, 16:9 original nav and so on)

Hereby some pics of 2 6cilinders on my driveway:

Hey, i've got the same car (520i type 1 1982) and u have problems fitting the rear because a 520i and 518i have drum brakes in the rear instead of disc brakes. those are 1 -1,5 cm wider.
How does the cut springs ride? Are u using B8's?

edit: just noticed ive bumped a year old topic, sorry.
