My 335i coupe looks like a 4x4! HELP

stejus · 10-13-2007, 09:00 PM

This is my first BMW and I really noticed a huge wheel gap (around 4") after raising and lowering the front back to the ground.

I've jacked up several cars in my lifetime but never really noticed if there was a large wheel gap after lowering it.

I want to drive to see if it settles back down but i have to wait 24 hrs for the G2 paint to dry...

Dont worry, it will settle after a short drive.
