That wont happen. There is no room for spacer, when it's aired out tyre hits the front fender. No fender work done at front tho. HP drivetech shocks don't have camber plates, so i can't adjust it. The shock isn't at middle of the upper mount, it basically has build in camber. I think the camber has pretty even look between front and rear. Definitely better than last year.

I haven't update this for long time. After i got the car back from air suspension isntall. Had some issues with e-level sensors, rear was doing all kinda unnecessarily adjustment going up and down and didn't really know where to settle. Also the air tank was leaking some air and the 150psi for system pressure wasn't that good.

Now it's all fixed. E-level arms where adjusted to correct length and it fixed those crazy adjustment problems. Also found that it was mainly leaking from the line between compressor and water trap. I reattached it with "sealing glue". It still leaks some air, but only like 10psi in 8-12hours. It's fine to me. Then the system pressure was adjusted to 175psi and it makes huge difference, because now it can handle few lifts before running out of air, but the best thing is that now compressor starts to create more air before there is too little to lift the car.

Also the compressor now has cover plate, but the air line from air tank still goes trough the trunk floor. It was only "wise" solution because otherwise it would have to go outside the car and for winter use that's not good, because it can freeze more easier. I might some day get it done from copper hardlines so it can be hidden away.




Here is few better pictures that i have from my car.

Also now i have my new winter setup on the car. Had to raise like 20mm to make the setup fit, because front didn't have space to turn. Now have about 1 finger gap between fender and tyre. Lifting the car for winter was the idea anyway to protect front lip and easier to drive at snow. Which we don't have yet. We had 10cm, but it melted away instantly. These are style 128 replicas.

Thank you. Currently it's without front lip and front looks really weird. Chunk of ice broke it few weeks ago. New one is here within few days, but it wont be carbon fiber and it will be painted fully to car color.

This is kinda pointless update, since nothing hasn't really happen. Except i got one air line re-routed, before it went straight down from the tank trough the floor. It bothered me from the start, but now i'm really happy how it is. I'm going to remove those stickers from the tank and wrap it either matte-black, sticker bomb or something else. I'm listening ideas?





Then the bad thing which makes me mad the CSL trunk that i had custom from sheet metal is started to crack and rust
View post on imgur.com
There is no point to try to fix it, because it would mean that every seam would need to be inspected and it might be badly rusted inside.

So my plan is the get some carbon fiber CSL trunk. I have looked to, Sonic tuning, Duke Dynamics etc, but it's so hard to find anything from here or even from Europe. I might need to order it from USA and pay tons of shipping cost, customs, taxes etc. Listening personal opinions of different products?

But something good comes from that too. I'm going to change the trunk to LCI. At least i have reason to do it. Anyone have good info what it needs? Taillights of course, but what else?

Few weeks i should get my new summer wheels 19x9.5 et22 and 19x11 et25 with 225/35/19 and 265/30/19, So basic starter stance set The wheels where suppose to be et20 front and rear, but the company decided to ditch those sizes. Anyways at least i know it will fit without issues since the specs are basically the same as i had. Rear is in fact slightly less aggressive, maybe now i can get it little bit lower and when airing out tyre shoudn't prevent it to go low. Anyways here are the wheels on bagged E91 http://lowered.eu/portfolio/bmw-e91/

Still no proper update, but few pics of planned mods. Next week my car will go to get the LCI upgrade done.



Also received my summer wheels. As said before the 19x11 et20 was discontinued and i had to settle to et25, but i received et30, since they had discontinued the et25 also. They forgot to inform me about it. I returned the rear wheels, because i felt that the specs are too shy. So now i'm waiting 19x11 et15 to arrive. I think i need some more fender work. Shaving the rear most likely, if i find professional to do it. At least my front wheels have tyres on

I cant believe they did that lol. But at least you're be going more aggressive now. Can't wait to see it once you get the trunk and light in.
Also did you pass inspection?

Just came across this, the car looks good man! I'm glad you got that e-level issue sorted.

Are you on Airlift or another brand?

Thank you. Who said that it's fixed. I just turned the e-level off, so it doesn't lift the rear anymore. The thing is that the shop has about 1-1.5 month wait to go there. I might have to wait until my summer vacation to go there, because it's like 150 km trip to go there and i cant really tell my work times so far ahead.

I have HP Drivetech. Still not much to update, since i'm still on my winter setup. I sent the 19x11 et30 back as i didn't want them. Few weeks ago i received the correct 19x11 et15 wheels, but of course one of the wheel was badly bent
View post on imgur.com
, so i had to order one new wheel. Of course it was free for me, but it also meant one more week to wait. Funny thing is that the wheel was dropped at the factory, because they have painted the wheel after that and even put sticker that says: Quality test passed.

Well i now have all the wheels and tyres on them and was planning to install them this weekend.




At least i got the LCI upgrade done with the CSL carbon fiber trunk. Trunk has some minor fitment issues, but hardly visible and don't bother me at all. Trunk required some cutting to make the inner lights and register lights etc to fit. Mainly because the trunk has thicker edges than original has so those needed to be shaved thinner. I had some issues to get the blinker bulb test away, because even after we coded it out after blinking little while the bulb error came back and it started to blink fast. We got it working by removing the minus cable from battery after the coding and then put it back. Now everything works without errors. Only pics i have for now and yes not that clean.

Oh man, didn't check the date of your post, I thought you said it was sorted lol my bad. That's annoying, I hope you get it sorted soon man.

Would you mind sharing the wheel/tyre spec in this pic please:

Just trying to compare it to what myself and a few of my friends in the UK are running for lows.

Thanks man

I took few pics with the new summer wheels and LCI upgrade done. Clearly i will need to make more room to rear somehow as it rubs like all the time if i lower it "too much". I think i still have about -0.5 camber adjustment left and i could shave the fenders and possibly few millimeters of the wheels too. Originally wanted them to be et20. Also need to figure out the e-level rear issue.

Anyways here is some pics. One day i will get someone to take proper photoshoot.

I like those wheels....only reason why I don't buy that style is the thought of cleaning them.

Way to tedious of job.
