Hi, I'm from Taiwan

Hi guys, another F10 member here from Taiwan.

I've been driving my F10 523i Space Grey for a few months now have done a few mods so far, nothing much...just wheel and a drop but am thinking of perhaps adding a spoiler and maybe an M kit....

F10 523i (6-cylinder)
Kelleners Hamburg 20" on Bridgestone S001 rubber
Eibach Pro Kit springs

I took this shot yesterday with an iPhone App and is only shot I got since I bought the car so far - will definitely post up some when the rain lets up.

Yep. Eibach springs. The car's parked up on a slanted sidewalk sideways so hence the gap on the front right side.....

Was thinking of going ACS but I got a 1200USD quote so I went with Eibach which was around 550USD instead...

What I plan to do is use this for a while and then move to KW V3's. The springs were just something in the
interim so that the 20" wheels wouldn't look too "SUV-ish".

Taiwan's crazy like that... jacked up prices, etc.... They charge about 2.5x of what BMW options cost in the States.....

Are there any obvious differences in your opinion coming from Eibach to ACS?

Definitely! I had a write up about the difference a while ago. ACS beats Eibach hands down. Essentially, Eibach is closes to stock comfort and only lowers your car. But that in itself creates a lot of issues. ACS is both stiffer and lowers the car slightly less than Eibach. So i scrape the front less...... Handling way better with the ACS as well.....

PS. I have AD on my 550i.

Don't wait. I came from stock, H&R and now KWV3. KWV3 FTW. Any spring set has no match to this coilovers set. The tires just nailed to the road. But now I need to tweak the settings to optimize my driving style.
