    E39 on 19x10/19x11

    Finally had time to take some photos, the style might not be for everybody but its something I've always wanted, I'm not looking to lower the car anymore since it rides perfect and I can get over everything with this height and carry whatever it is I need to carry, no rape fenders, no rubbing.

    Big thanks to Jay (Mystikal) & Mike (ZiMMie) @ StanceFactory, without them, none of this would happen and the car wouldn't be like this today.

    Suspension: BC Racing
    Wheels: BC Forged ST08, 19x10 Et10, 19x11 ET10
    Tires: Vredestein 235/35/19, 255/35/19

        Wow! This looks great! Love the color! Would like to see a bit more rubber on it however.

              if they make a GC kit for this car i would highly recommend slamming the life of it out on that.

                I did have GC kit on the car, while it was a great kit the BC actually drives better and handles better.

                  Looks awesome, if I had an e39 it would look just like that. I don't see all the hype with GC I had them on my car before I got BC's and they ride and handle much better.

                    Fair enough, I am just saying I would be getting suspension of a similar caliber to the rest of the car.

                    Then again I guess this is coming from the guy with $2k suspension and $100 wheels who still wants ASTs.

                      BC Racing is a good company, the service is unbeatable and the ride quality is superb with handling much better, its a major thumbs up from me.

                      btw, huge fan of your FXR upgrade, I'm going to do the same on my wife's E30.

                          It looks great....I think its some of the camera angles that make it looks like it should go lower.

                            Well, if they work for you, that's great. I've driven an E30 with BC coils and (albeit on bottlecaps) it felt just fine for $1k coilovers. I would just be looking for something a little higher-end to match the rest of the equipment on the car is all.

                            Still looks tits. 540i6 is high on my list of future dds.

                            Great--let me know if you devise a good way of sealing them up! Mine are still ghetto-fabbed.

                              IIRC, that would be my car ;)
