The wife's 335 just after putting the wheels and KW V1's on.
Work Gnosis HS202 - 19x9 +29 f, 19x10.5 +31 r (iirc) Continental DW 235/35/19 f and 275/30/19 r I was going to run slightly more agressive (a few mm) setup on mine in the spring, but circumstances change, need more space, and I'm moving to an X1 this week. Coilovers and wheels should still fit though |

I'm not a fan of chrome, and I love that car.

Sorry hnekcivic, but Melanie's old car has you beat. I did a photoshoot with it a while back, so I'll have to dig up the pics. She was running 19x10 +23 all around on her E92 XI. |

For those who are running on KW1's:
How do you guys like the ride? I want to lower the car too. I have stock sport suspensions on and I kind of hate it. Not sure if its because i also have run flat tires but every crack, hole, bump etc. you name it, I feel it like someone is hitting the car underneath. (Boston roads are the worse in the country..!) I have 2008 E92 running on 18's. All stock. Greatly appreciated if you guys can share your experiences. |

Run flat tires are a no go. Definitely switch out your suspension to coils. KW V# is great. I have the 3, but the one will do just fine to drop it. Definitely fill it up with nice wheels and new tires.

Thanks mashimarho,
You have a very very very nice car. You also got my vote. I don't think I've seen such a pretty car like that in a while. Good job. By any chance do you have a list of the stuff you did on your car? I have 328xi. I would love to "try" to make my car look as close as it can get to yours. Going back to topic, How do you like the ride on the KW's? I hate that I feel everything while i drive. |

To be fair, my KW V1s are cranked all the way down, and the ride is very rough/tight. I've been told that if you keep it higher at stock suspension height, it's more comfortable, but I've always been slammed on these things, and they're not comfortable at all.
You also have to consider that coilovers are less durable than the stock suspension. Coilovers are built for the track, while stock suspension is built for the road. If you mainly drive on bad city roads, expect your coilovers to wear prematurely. My friend who lived in an area with bad roads had his KW V3s go out on him within 15K miles. |
