Wifey's 335xi

[aar0n.]

Another LIer

Looks pretty good, definitely could use a bit more low though haha. What mall were those shots taken at? I want to say Broadway bc I think I see the blue outline of Ikea in the background in a few of them but the lot itself doesn't look the same haha

[hinrichs]

space out the rears to match the fronts and your golden...looks good

[itsbrokeagain]

yeah it needs more low...a lot more. The coilovers are maxed out.


My friend is selling a set of KW V3s, might put those on, they go WAY lower than the H&Rs.

My issue with pushing the rear out is that at the moment, on a bump the rear wheel articulates and moves just catches the inside the fender..if I poke this any more, on any decent dip or bump the wheel is gonna come up and Im gonna catch the fender and twist it up good. Im gonna roll it for now and see if maybe I can add some more camber to it, she drives this every day rain or shine so I need to keep as much contact patch on the road as possible...shes at 1.7 degrees camber in the back, I could prolly get 2.2 or more if I absolutely have to. Going to require quite of a bit of rolling to get this to fit right if I do spacers..

For a photoshoot i would do it, but at the moment the ride is at the brink of civility around here.

I swear the pics dont do it justice. When she comes rolling up to my house i see the car from down the block and im like DAMN that car is low...even tho in the pics it looks 4x4 lol.


and yes, plastic fenders do suck! But the wheel clears it very well, we will see how it goes in the future..

Fucking gorgeous. That is my favorite color on e9xs and with that front lip, stance and wheels it is pure sex.

Do not roll it I'm runnning a 10 upfront on my e90 and a 11.5 rear with lower offsets then you just cut shave the rear fenders and fold the front. Then slamm it down more add a spacer to the back because the front pokes to much compared to the rear now add about 3 degrees of camber rear and your golden. But I got to say a girl running even this is great, just remember keep your rolling diameter as close to even as possible beacuse your XI you can fuck up your transfer case

Well executed sir.

There are just some compromises you have to make when putting together something for a girl to daily drive. My wife is no exception she does well with modified vehicles as long as i don't go TOO crazy with it. Big wheels with decent fitment but no rubbing and not too expensive for when one manges to get ruined, lowered height but not low enough that she's ripping spilers off of it all the time or dragging the exhaust too much. Just enough compromise that it still looks ok to most of us even though we'd probably do it differently if it was our dedicated driver.

This is what we ended up with for my wife's daily:
