Xi Finnaly lowered
I finally lowered my XI with KW v1, I put it for now on highest setting but the difference is definitely visible and the gap looks much better. The feeling is much better. I will make a full review after I drive a bit more but for now here are some pics:

Thanks, I will drop it even more as soon as I sort my garage out because I wont be able to enter it if I do it now.
The rims and tires are: BBS CH-R Black front: 19x8.5 et32 rear: 19x9.5 et35 Michelin Pilot Super Sports front: 235/35-19 rear: 265/30-19 No spacers and no rubbing at all even on bumps or full turn of wheel. As you can see the car is not lowered all the way but there is still space and think lowering it even more wont cause any problems. |

Looks good. Similar drop to mine right now. My front is just a tad-bit lower (just a little). I drive in NYC alot so I don't care what anyone says, I am not slamming my car.
LOVE THOSE RIMS!!! I wish I could spoil myself but I am getting married next year so no go on that one.

I just installed mine yday, this is one of the best mods I did, I would definitely recommend it. I live in part of Europe that gets lot of snow and the roads are not perfect, so I would thinking should I install coils or not but I just went ahead with it and dont regret it at all. I cannot give full review yet but for now I do not feels big difference in ride comfort when going over speedbumps.

In reference to the winter driving... These are actually my set from my 2008 335xi. I sent them back to KW for a rebuild after I moved on from my '08. They have been through about 3 extremely harsh Northeastern winters in NYC. They will hold up just fine once you avoid those potholes that just pop up. The salt will not affect them. Enjoy the coils tsev...

Tsev: down right sexy my man. Down right sexy!!!
Reprod: if that's what it's going to look like after settling, then I'm sold. Congrats on marriage as well.

Coilovers make an obvious and very positive aesthetic change to the car's profile and we all love the performance. While I employed 'set it and forget it', set your height to your comfort level and adjust later as you see fit. (Some of us have craters in our neighborhoods and on our commutes.) All aside, enjoy!
When the box of KW coilovers arrives, its a joyous occasion. I'd imagine there are a few dozen X Drivers that have pictures of the box. Count me in the group.
