My M3s not so cool new ride height.

Looks good lowered and raised!

I don't get it...seen the photos from before/after...I think it looks better now. Functionality ftw!
Now go and tear up in some beautiful German country side roads while I sit green with envy in my college dorm room.

Hot per the norm, I wish it was nice enough when we were there to take it out!

[mikeedler]

couldn't deal with it, lowered the rear- stuck the old springs back in and fixed the front badge. the front just needs to come down a 1/2 inch now.

[LittleEcker]

Yea that's bad.... Want to trade me?

Of course, I'm kidding. That is beautiful

[carfantiti]

the garage rocks!!!!!I love garage like that.It is a shame on car though perfect condition and than that color just ruins it for me bummer:(nice wagon.

I like it higher, in my opinion it looks more purposeful, usable.

I really like the rake.

[pilotskillse30]

I love it, gives me so much aspirations to get mine done that much sooner. Like always thanks for the canvas

I like it higher, in my opinion it looks more purposeful, usable. I am raising mine as well but for more oil pan buffer.

Did you paint it or buy it that way already done?
Orange is a great color on M3's I always thought. Whats the under hood and interior look like.
Would love to see it.

I painted it orange about 7 years ago, have had the car for almost 15 years now though. Here is a pic of it before and a few motor/int. shots:

Car does look a little off with the height raised. Def dependent on the wheel/tire as well.

I can't believe you were never on coils. How did you get it so low? Did you cut a coil? What suspension/spring are you on now?

I always look forward to your threads.. keep the pics coming!

shortened/compressed coils, with a mix of lowered spring perches, and the shock sits lower in the tube. Now it i on e-bay 60mm dropped springs with e90 hats.

It's not so much the height but the fender gap that makes the tires look too small. There has to be zero fender gap to look perfect with stretched tires. With that said, your car still looks great. I'm digging the color. Why did you raise it up anyway? Tire wear?

Raised it to get it "road legal". To pass the German safety inspection the suspension needs to have paperwork- old stuff had none. Was planning on leaving it raised due to the last set of rear tires only lasting about 5000km...... but, I am def. going to need to get the rear down a bit.

Still looks good though, maybe more tire to eliminate the stretch look..
