Looking good. Have you had a drive yet? That for me was more of an improvement than the looks.

Looks wise they dont change hugely but in the handling department they are quality!

[matty81]

Can't wait to get mine! I'm more concerned over the handling rather than the drop

Did you fit them yourself?

yes fitted myself its not that difficult. Took 6 hours on my own, but that incuded cleaning and sealing the barrels of my wheels and lunch break !
what suprised me was how lose all the bolts where except the rear wishbone and shock absorber bolts they where as tight as f@#k !!

[matty81]

I wouldn't have a clue how to fit them, I wouldn't feel comfortable trying it, do you need any special tools?

That's the nice thing about doing suspension on a new car like these! Doimg it on 10+ year old Vauxhalls back in my boy racer days was a different matter!

[matty81]

It's temping to try as fitting costs around 200-250! That's why u haven't bought them yet

So gutted I didn't do mine myself - Everyone I spoke to said you need special BMW tools

I also got a ton of abuse from another forum when I service my E60 M5 myself
