Few Pics of the E55...

Hello, I have been on reading these forums since I got my car last year. I thought I would share some pictures.

Sonic MS can install the lowering links for cheap and they are a Renntech dealer for an ELM, just saying since one of those pictures is taken in front of the shop! Get it lowered!

This carbon fiber lip is a DCT motorsport design, and it fits like a glove. As far as the wheels they are great although the lip in the rear wheels are starting to get dings and dents from rock chips. Compared to more expensive rims this lip is very soft. If the lip were harder then they would be perfect for me but I guess this is what you get with cheaper rims.

i was thinking about lowering the car because I agree it would look 10 times better, however my concern is the effect it may have on the life of my airmatic suspension.

I say just drop it. I too thought about it, but I haven't had any issues. I did get one air strut fail on me but who knows what could've cause it. There are plenty of failures on non dropped cars.
