Lowered my 550i
Lowered my 550i on Megan Coilovers, painted the calipers, swapped the grill for a LCI M5 grill, and new wheels. (I do not recommend them FYI, too cheap)
I'm going to wait till next weekend to adjust the heights once the springs have settled a bit, going to go up .5" in the rear, and about 1" in the front, don't wanna be too slammed, Im over those days.

What size are the wheels and who is the manufacturer of the rims?

Also you'd be surprised at how many slightly higher priced coilovers are actually made by a cheaper brand company, they just changed colors and name.

Looks great! The style of the wheels looks nice for sure but be careful with low quality wheels on a heavy F10. Avoid potholes like a champ

If u do a search there's a thread that talks about the different users who have these and all had good things to say about them. For the price right now I ran across a website for I think $799 in sale?

I paid 900$ for mine brand new, and did the install myself a whole days worth, and could have been done a lot easier but didnt know certain tricks at the time.

Thinking about doing it myself but never done suspension before? I've done brakes, headers, exhaust, basic maintenance so I feel like I should be able to do this?
