Eibach Pro-Kit springs installed on my 135i Coupe (Pics)

Took some pics near my house and Uptown Charlotte after I Installed Eibach Pro-Kit springs and Macht Schnell spacers (15mm F 12mm R) with the stock 264 wheels and staggered 215/40/18, 245/35/18 Bridgestone RFT tires. There is no rubbing at all during any driving situation or car load. Not only has the stance improved, the handling has as well. I'm pleased with my purchase. I hope to add some M3 suspension parts and BMW Performance Exhaust in the future.

The car is Black Sapphire Metallic over Savanna Beige leather and burl wood trim. I did 35% tint all the way around except the windshield.

Updated photos on the 2nd page.

Thanks, man. I sold my E90 and picked this up about a month ago.

Dude, your car just keeps looking better and better with everything you do to it! It has a perfect stance!

Nice drop and those spacers make the car look way more aggressive.

Why did you give up the e90 for this? Why not go for a cpo m3?

Agree. Should be like this from the factory.

No Felix. I'm not a fan of all black. I thought about getting the stock 18" wheels painted gunmetal like the BBS FI wheels on the Ferrari 599 GTO. I may do it when it comes time to replace the tires. I like the design of these wheels. They have just a bit of concavity. Suits the car nicely.

I seriously considered a pre owned E90 M3. I'm slowly working my way up to an M car. Started with a 328, 135, then M car next. This is a all-around fantastic car. Very happy with it. M3 is still my favorite though.

C'mon mang...Nero black Scud is in my garage. I'll have it ready for the mountain drive.
