Dropped it yesterday ... comments ???






I am getting a power sunroof intalled in 2 weeks ... can't wait for that !!! Whoo hoo !

 

looks pretty good!!!
but I have to ask..whats up with the BMW emblems?

 

love the car but yah lose the bmw badges....everyone knows its not a bmw. I never understand why people do this. But other than that I really do like the drop, but what suspension are you running?

 

lol Not trying to be a poser with the BMW badges ... just a little humor ! The suspension is stock except for the Tanabe df210's. The newer ones are double powder coated red. Ride is excellent !

 

looks really nice, sits much better than my htechs. but i gotta agree with the others, you really should get rid of those bmw emblems

 

The badges go nicely with the wheels. Are those Bimmer wheels too? Nice clean box but personally I'd run Toyota badges before BMW ones. Perfect stance in my book!

 

I usually don't favor a white vehicle but with that drop and those wheels it is plush

 

very nice drop. wish I had a mini me of my box "see 4th pic"

 

very clean, nice stance.
however, like everyone else has said, get rid of the BMW badging.
it might be humorous, but i think more people would be thinking you were confused first ...

nice drop though. props.

 

BMW badges makes me a sad panda... otherwise, it's a nice drop, and I like the meshies.

 

Love the wheels.....

Unless your vehicle looks something like this, ditch the BMW emblems please!

Looks great - nice stance!

 

I like the drop...
You should have know that you would get flamed on here for the badges! LOL :D

I think its kind of funny. I still have people asking me... "What kind of car is that?"
I guess I will start telling them: "It's a BMW"

 

yep ... knew i'd get flamed for the badges !!! lol

it's just by chance that the wheel emblems were 64.6 mm's, they are not bimmer wheels to answer one of the previous posters, but they fit exactly.

the emblem change is a cheap mod and totally reversable ... maybe i'll change them every six months and post pics !

... any suggestions ????????????

Great drop....

 

I think the BMW badges are hilarious!

 

Thanks ! I love it when people look real confused staring at my box ! lol Getting a power sunroof installed today, can't wait for that !

 

Your car looks great. How much of a drop and how has it affected your ride quality.

The Tanabe df210's lower the xB about 2 inches front and rear (tanabe says 2.2 in the front). The ride is excellent. I was really expecting "something" after reading other posts about ruff ride, bottoming out, etc ... But I have had no problems ... it actually feels like it rides better than the stock springs. REALLY surprised. ! They were very affordable too ... $169.00. Love that silver color Jim ... thinking about lowering it ???

 

Yes, I'm considering 1.5-2" drop.... I think the car would look better with the wheel wells filled in a bit, and a drop of the size should do the trick.

Thanks for the compliment. I've had my car for about a year and a half now and I'm just now starting to do some mods. I just got the wheels last week. I de-snorkeled the intake in search of better mileage, and I'm considering a K&N drop in. I also did the cabin air filter last night (didn't know the tray was already behind the dash) and I'm going to remove all my emblems and do a clear rear marker project this weekend.

I tell ya, it just keeps piling up!!!

Enjoying our cool weather lately?? LOL
