Lowered daily driver

Hey everyone, I just wanted to see how many people on the forum had their car lowered and it's their daily driver. Is it a realistic expectation to have a lowered BMW and still be a daily driver?

IMHO, it probably depends where you live. Guys on the west coast and down south can get away with it easier as salt and winter doesn't destroy the roads like up north. I'm sure with careful driving, you could be the exception to the rule, but then there's always going to be that unexpected pothole you didn't see coming...

Maybe a subtle drop as opposed to being "slammed".

Daily driver, Bilstein PSS9. Not too many issues other than avoiding steep entrances and potholes.

Good to hear. So many cars on this forum that are lowered and look great, but wasn't sure if they were just trailer queens and not driven.
