I'd go with the drop. I am having my H&R Sport Springs installed tomorrow by Longtran! Becuase you already have a nice sounding exhaust, save some extra money and go for "looks" rather than performance.

BTW I don't know if I should be saying this but you should get a chip. I can't say the name of it on this forum because it is "banned" haha, but here is the guys number: (805) 660-6227

It is very affordable and believe me, it makes a difference! Tell the guy that PJ recommended you. His office is in Woodland Hills but his house is in Simi Valley.

Good luck!

The drop for sure. Your car will look better and handle better.

The intake will only make your car sound louder and nominally quicker maybe.

that thing was kinda a bust and didnt do much, if your interested in more power you should look into a 330i conversion.

but for the sake of the thread i would def say drop if you already have an exhaust.

Go with the springs first, you will enjoy those more than the intake. A drop really changes both the handling and looks of the car, an intake is less of a noticeable improvement.

I love my GMR intake, but since you already have an exhaust, I would recommend the drop.
