Looks good~ The 19" Type IV bi-color weigh quite a bit though, unlike the 20" Type V Racing that are forged.

lowered on h&r sports. photo doesn't do her justice. the spokes gleam from the black shadow - look particularly good through town at night

dxb335d · 02-01-2009, 04:08 PM

i know. flip me the iphone camera is shite! hopefully get good photos on tues weather permitting.

springs feel great - car feels planted and handles even better round bends. no rubbing - am chuffed with setup

.

waiting now to get rear roof spoiler (schnitzer) fitted in next week or 2.

No doubt it has improved. Had h&r sport on last e92 as well. Guy who fitted them agreed that handling was bound to improve tho have to get dealer to remove studs that improve camber. They will do it under warranty apparently. Front wheels have slightly negative camber at moment.

dxb335d · 02-01-2009, 05:06 PM

Because of the springs?

What bout the rears? No squeeking developed since fitting or anything?

i think it's because of the springs, but then i don't know why bmw would do that under warranty. this guy works closely with dealer and knows his stuff.

he seems to think the newer e92s have these studs (they are located beside the 3 bolts under the bonnet that hold the springs in place. he says it gives the front wheels negative camber - he said nthing too urgent but get bmw to remove them free of charge!

rears no bother - no squeaking - never had any bother with last e92 either!

dxb335d · 02-01-2009, 05:37 PM

Right cool. I aint got prob with negative camber on the front just rears.

You running runflats?

no runflats now - it makes a huge difference especially when running 19" - less rough on rough roads!
