Angeles Crest Shoot of BMW x2, Mercedes x2 and Lexus W211 and W220

I thought I'd post here because w211 gets a lot more hits than w220 lol. Well me and a bunch of my good friends decided to have a shoot up in Angeles Crest. Let me know what you guys think Super amateur pics taken with a point and shoot

Did the W211 disconnect the inside parking lights in the pic with the headlamps and foglamps on?

Nice pics, the 211 looks good, but needs a drop ASAP.

Polar Bear, my city lights are on, but they are not the stock ones, they are Polarg. I think the brightness of the headlights/fogs washes out the light of the city lights.

Agree

I'm debating whether to drop mine as well, just a matter of pulling the trigger.

All need to be lowered ASAP.

I couldn't agree with you anymore. Mine (e92) is getting lowered very shortly.

Does it change the ride at all? Is it firmer? I have airmatic so I was gonna do it via STAR.

Firmer.
It will not turn your car into a track fighter, but the handling is definitely improved from lowering the car's center gravity. It also improves the look of the car.

Make sure you re-align all four wheels after lowering.

The w220 we had riding up with us is lowered via STAR and I don't feel a difference at all in ride quality.

He wasn't lowered at the time of the shoot.

I'd disagree that the suspension is firmer after lowering. With airmatic the dampening is exactly the same.

I drive in Sport II mode all the time!!

Maybe springs have a different outcome on the suspension than air-matic

I wish 350s had airmatic, such an easy way to lower the car, especially with a lowering module.

Here's another pic from the same day, 'twas chopped a little
