Some better quality pics with M6's and tint

Hi here some pics of my new e92 fitted induction kit this morning thinking about the lamin-x rear light tint (partial, over the rear but not the clear part)

solefald · 05-16-2008, 09:27 AM

did you paint your window trim, or it is vinyl?

Speedschnecke · 05-16-2008, 09:32 AM

don't like how the wheels look on this particular car. it probably needs to be slammed

ehhhwik · 05-16-2008, 05:14 PM

nice "B" roads in the background, are those 18s or 19s?

gtrokin330 · 05-16-2008, 08:39 PM

imo m6 reps only look good on black cars

that paint is perfect

to_riffic · 05-16-2008, 09:51 PM

I noticed the large wheel gap like others. do you have sport package? I noticed that you do have the sport steering wheel. although their packages might be different for the 320d which we don't have over here in the states.

Tallest · 05-17-2008, 10:11 AM

to have sport steering you dont need sport package. this is europe, options are different. his seems to be normal suspension 320d. mine is same this way but the M6 reps are only good when car is slammed, they just have this ability to highlight the gap too much. my car on 17s looks totally ok me with stock suspension as you see in pic. it's got a lot to do with wheel design IMHO.

so yes, OP's coupe needs a drop!

AlanQS · 05-17-2008, 11:29 AM

I like very much - but then I'm biased. The m-sport version in Europe includes a 12mm drop in the suspension but I don't see how a half inch reduction does that much anyway. The drops some people seem to like is the top of the rubber virtually touching the underside of the wheel - arch (fender?). I hate that because it doesn't mean that the handling is sooo much better - but it does mean more pressure on your piles!

well, i think the Msport cars with sport suspension is all the drop you actually need. I also dont like the slammed look, but then again for me its mainly because i think its hugely impractical first, and then comes all the possible handling implications. Here with 19s and a drop you are a joke. But probably where you have silku smooth roads, long autonbahns and mild winters, this is OKey.

david.rowlands · 05-19-2008, 10:21 AM

yeah your right probably do need to lower it but i think i'm going to leave as is for now i'm going to tint the rear lights and fit a power box next to take it to 210bhp/ 415nm torque. yeah over here you get the sport wheel and xzeons and some other stuff as standard but of course the car is almost twice the price in the first place
