Dated 3-series all show/SL55 all go
Its back.

Finally got the SL55 back here in the bay area after it being in Vegas for tooooo long. The BMW is almost finished just need to put in the BBK and I am pretty much set for this show year.

Now for the SL.
Just getting an idea of what people are running.
Wheels- What is the widest people running? I am thinking of going 20x12 in the rear not sure what I can squeeze up front.

Suspension I am clueless to what suspension is available for the car... I don't want any wheel gap. Unless I raise the car electronically myself. If I remember correctly some dealers are able to program the settings to sit a tad lower. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Exhaust- I heard soundclips from Eisenman. Are there any others out there where I can listen to soundclips?

I just want the car to look simple and clean.

TIA
Lawrence

No longer car shopping...
Sorry, I do not have info but you might want to change the title of the thread or create a new one that is more descriptive of what you are seeking like "what size wheels..."

Lawrence,

If you want to take a look at the HRE's, feel free to drop by. I have 3 sets here, one 543R, one C21s, and one 597s.

Also, have the carlsson 1/16 uls for display.
