nice drop.
I see that you previously had a 335i. How does your xi compare to it?

Ralf is right. You should barely be able to get a pinky in there and it'll look sweat.

I like the Xi a lot better especially with the new suspension set up. Pre suspension the 335i definitely handled better but now its not even a close comparison this car handles like a dream.

The 335i is a great car but if you ask it has a bit too much power for a car without an LSD. I was going to keep it and buy an aftermarket LSD but decided to go with the Xi instead and don’t regret it one bit.

LOL…. When I picked it up I actually thought it was a bit too low and was thinking about raising it about a half inch but after driving it I am definitely going to keep it the way it is for a while. The ride is great and it corners amazing.

dammit that looks so good...i'm so tempted to get them , but still have slight hesitations about altering the suspension for an xi, for both long term effects and any possibility of it interfering with the awd system...

I paid about $500 for install, alignment and corner balance and 1850 shipped for the V3se V3s. I think I got a good deal on the V3s but probably could have got a better price on the install.
