Hi just wanted some input, I have put spacers 15mm all round which I am really pleased with. The stance is much better. I now wanted to lower it 20mm all round. Do you think 20mm all round or 25/20? I am concerned because I chose 15mm spacers all round 25mm drop at front may not be right. Any input would help.

 

i have 640 m sport gran coupe.

Grey dog do you not feel the gap between tyre and body is too big? I think they sit too high personally, I’m not a low rider fan but do like a decent stance.

Like I say I am an old bloke now and my comfort is more important to me. My car is an E53 4.6is you can get your fist between the tyre and the body !!!

Maybe adjustable coil overs if they are available would be a good solution and allow you to find the best compromise between ride and appearance. 

Keep us up to speed with the project and maybe some pics

Appreciate your thoughts. I do have a daily 330e (don’t laugh) therefore the 6 is a weekend occasional drive. I just feel the gap between wheel and arch is too big. I saw a YouTube vid. Showing my car lowered and widened, totally changed the look and according to the guy did not hinder the drive at all. I will post before and after pics after lowering. I have already spacered It all round 15mm which surprisingly has improved the cornering and look.
I totally understand this is not everyone’s cup of tea, lockdown has done this too me lol

Guys I honestly can say best thing I did was using Eibach springs. Sorry but the forum keeps failing for me to upload pics but it’s not just the look. The car rides the holes and bumps exactly how you would have expected. Honestly I cannot explain how much better it feels on the road. Also looks so much better, still having loads of clearance. I used 15mm spacers all round and Eibach springs 20/25. If anyone can tell me how to upload pics from my phone tgen I can show you before and after pictures.

Guys I know headlights on the f06 have been exhausted but I have not found and thread or anyone selling eyebrows for this. I do believe a decent eyebrow on the top would really change the front end. Btw I did try it with black paper (my car is blue/black) and it really looked good. Does anyone know of any eyebrows made for our 6?

Booked it in for a light upgrade. The pics are what I have asked for plus a few extra goodies, I will of course upload pics. I have a pre-lci model and the round angels are looking dated. Uk company that has been great with their communication.
