Hello everyone! Just purchased this 2001 E55 from my barber who owns 2! He kept the black one. 134k miles, very clean and it will need a bit of work over time, like wheel refinish, new headlights, new grill. Immaculate interior! So far all I've done is cleaned her up, changed the oil, and re-worked the exhaust! Lots more to come, I'll be keeping this car forever though so I've gotta pace myself lol. I've been debating if i should lower it any. I dont want to have a low rider appearance but i wonder if losing some gap would improve the look. Thoughts??
Also, how do I post videos? I wanted to share the exhaust clip.
I have a 2001 with H&R progressive springs and Bilstein B8 shocks. I find that it lowers the car only slightly - you can't really tell it is lowered but it looks better than stock, and doesn't significantly degrade the ride quality. The big benefit is in the handling of the car - far better than stock.

People talk about using the pads ( ranging from 1-4), what size did you use?
