Hey question for the guys with front lips....
do you feel like your very close to scraping everytime you go in a steep entry way or is there still substantial ground clearance? im looking into a eurotec lip but after driving an e46 m3 on bilsteins for 2 years im kind of sick of having to pull in everywhere super sideways.
Thanks,
Andy

When I had my CF front lip on the E55 I feared basically nothing. The Benz sits very high in regards to the front fascia and the ground even when lowered. My 997TT is another story because the nose sticks out so the wheels dont elevate the front in time and it rubs often.
The M6... dont even think about
(the ground was uneven)

Sorry for the OT Thanks guys ... the HRE 897R's are 20x9 and 20x11 and are not cheap, I got a smoking deal thru HMS (cant say the price 
). I got the lip there too for about 800 bucks.

hands down that is the most bad *** m6 ive seen... people over here in south carolina dont know how to do up their cars. the last M6 i saw had driftz wheels on it.. the set couldnt have costed more than $500.
This is my M... ive yet to see another car with this caliber of upgrades on it so there arnt to many car guys for me to talk to
.. around here all people care about is deleteing the cats in their camaros...

I studied Vic's M6 picture for several minutes, hoping to find the slightest of flaws that I could goof on....................... unfortunately, I found none. Even the harshest of BMW design critics would have a difficult time dismissing that ride.
To the OP (that Vic so rudely overshadowed): The only lip that will not alter the front apron height of the E55 is made by Barabus.
