Exclamation Help With Lowering My 2010 E93 335 Msport

hello members

i have been thinking recently about lowering my 2010 e93 335 msport. the car looks great when it is parked in a certain way (at a slight angle/hill) were it looks lower than normal but when it is parked on a flat surface it does not look as nice. i was thinking about lowering the front by maybe 20mm and the rear maybe 10mm. i would really like some advice from other members on their thoughts/recomendations. i am not very good with the techincal side of things when it comes to cars so any advice on the types of lowering kits and a decent fitter (i live near birmingham) would be really appreciated.

my one concern is that would the lowering of my car in any way invalidate my warranty ?

Thankyou members !

if any member has any pics on their e9? msports that has been lowered i would be very grateful if you can put up some pics maybe some before and after shots would be great

If you could drive down to London I know a superb guy, who also does it as a hobby so would be relatively cheap compared to a garage.

I'd suggest simply some eibach sportlines. You're on m sport springs which are similar to the pro-kit already. The sportlines should give you a nice 20mm or so. That said: Fit them all round so it's the same. Otherwise your handing would be adversely affected as the balance would be out.

Let me know if you want the guy's number..

KDS = BMW dealers over priced and over-egged 4 wheel alignment with a Hunter brand machine.

I find the Eibachs decent enought to cruise and thrash with.
