    New suspension and tires on the Gazellenbeige m50

    Did the e90 drop hats and got some bigger tires. I also put some ellipsoids on with a 4500k HID kit. I think I'm going to leave the car as it is now. I've had it for 10 years, I'm the second owner, and I put 170k miles on it (it now has about 280k miles on the chassis, 250k on the cammed m50 engine). The rust is getting bad and the chassis isn't worth the effort to save it. I'll just drive her into the ground! Hoping to get another 5 years out of it.

      I want to do the E90 drop hats, but I wish there was something I could do to get the rear end down just a little to match.

            Your paint is so odd, but overall everything looks supa solid.

              Upper and lower rear spring pads. It's probably 10mm or so. I took my rears out at the same time as the front drop hats (also removed the thin spring pads on the front), and the rake stayed the same.

              I also have a 100lb sub/amp in the trunk, and a heavy Hartge rear wing and BMP rear bumper.

                    If the bumper trim were black it'd be perfect. Never thought I'd say I like Gazellebeige but I do.
