. Correct me if I'm wrong, but an E350 doesn't run airmatic suspension, therefore you have shocks & springs so I don't think you can get an ELM.

Lol I will soon! You are correct, but they were telling me about this system that allows you to have control, unless they're wrong.

It's not lowered, I don't want to slam the car but the guys were telling me about this electronic lowering system were I can control the height of the car from inside. I wana look into it more.

When they first go on its pretty blue but as it warms up it gets a bit whiter.. It took me a while to decide from 5k and 6k. Im very happy with them, i would like to see what the 5k looks like.

Wow, Jack, you don't waste any time with the upgrades, huh? You've only had your car for a few weeks and already got new wheels mounted. lol

Here are some shots of the 5k kit.

Compared to the BMW OEM Xenon:

Haha thats exactly what friends and family said. If I had the AMG wheels on it I would of had fun with those for a bit before switching but my car came with the ugly ones :/

I just saw your thread, it looks really good! I must have done something with mine to get that extra glare from the cut off line. I asked you in your thread about the city lights, they look awesome.

I will post them up ASAP, I have the Steel Grey color so im hoping it looks as great as yours.

BTW, have you thought of lowering it? I found this but I am not sure if I can "raise it" from the dropped look.

Absolutely. Wheels completely change the look of a car. It's like those before and after photos all over the Internet of women with and without makeup.

Here we go... W212 with and without nice wheels:
