White 640d with mods and question
Hi guys,
Thought I would share some pics of my 640d. Sorry for car being wet as it was raining at the time. Mods are as below: ECU tune Roof wrapped gloss black Gloss black grill Carbon fibre rear diffuser Carbon fibre mirror caps Quad tips Metal pedal covers Powder coated wheels in Dulux colour Satin Steel Pearl Extra things looking to do are maybe update the steering wheel, probably get a front lip but what I really want to do is lower it a bit and I have a few questions please. I will move to non runflats soon so that will help with ride. I do not want to compromise ride much, more looking for the aesthetics to close the wheel gap a bit, thinking somewhere around 1 inch max. I plan to keep this car for quite awhile and do not want to damage its longevity. Do lowering springs impact how long parts last in the long run? If so are coilovers better to avoid any long term damage? Thanks guys and appreciate any feedback. |

Loving the wheel colour,i have the same thoughts as you at the moment on lowering springs, i dont really want the car much lower as here in the UK speedbumps are everywhere, but i do want to narrow the gaps in the arches, i though about a slightly bigger profile tyre but not 100% sold on that idea

Shitty roads here in Sydney aren't making the decision any easier. I was going to buy 21's to fill gap but the wheels I wanted were way too expensive when compared to powder coating. Not keen on larger tyre size myself, interesting idea though. |

I put taller profile tyre's on mine when changing out the run flats. Not convinced on the look now as didn't look as sporty as it once did, however it does convince me that 21's is the answer. Just need to find a set I like the look of.
