Nice one Andrew! My son just went to work for a BMW dealer in the parts department. I know I shouldn't tell you that but I did.

i can't leave good enough alone - i think i will be adding a set of eibach springs to eliminate the front wheel well gap - a very subtle drop - not much at all compared to h&r springs. i want it to look stock but only the enthusiast will note the change.


Very nice..............I just picked up an 09 sedan for the Fiance as well. I love the subtle facelift over the 08's.

Andrew, does that window behind the driver&passenger window go down? i was looking at that picture of the modified one and it looks like the window in the back is down, that is neat if it does

Did you get it re-aligned yet? How is/was the rear camber?
