Not to be a buzz kill, but those CHP 11-99 Foundation plates are fake. The real ones only say "11-99" on the frame, not "CHP 11-99". It's a pet peeve of mine.

I got the frame when I bought my M5 back in 2009, the owner told me it's real. Prob just an older version before they changed it.



And I don't think these cars sporting fake frame also

I just bought another lowering module, Renntech V3, it can adjust each corner in 1 mm height increment via laptop.



Finally able to dial my perfect stance.
Full shoot when I get everything done.
BTW, yes, I drive this low

Love SL's and absolutely love Radenergie wheels. You got that thing pretty low. Looks almost like an exotic car. Nice.
