hey whatsup...after reading through the posts id like to propose the following:
since the e55 starts out 1" lower and it can be lowered an additional 1" within factory tolerances for alignment, why not switch out your suspension components mainly the upper suspension arms with those of an e55. That way it will give you the extra camber you need.
any thoughts? This is kinda like how those previous gen bmw 3series were made into fake M3s...by using M3 suspension parts...
my 2 cents

Does anyone know how much the dealer will charge to lower my car with airmatic only? Is this a fairly common thing for them or will my service advisor need me to explain the whole thing to him?
Thanks in advance.
