i asked the shop why does the back tuck and not the front, ohhhhhhhhhh i see it now.
Why don't you just raise the rear then to give it more of a raked appearance? IMO that would still look better even if its not as low in the rear.

those BBS LM are sex on BMW... hott, and if you pay close attention to a car the rear is always cut lower the front, the only one car that comes almost evenly cut that is a non exotic car are the 350z, and NSX thats why the Japs do a radius cut to the rear fender to even it out so when you car is Dumpt it looks even...

But i cant wait to see how you Bimmer is going to look like SIN3 keep up posted

the funny thing is, that, in Sydney, the car scene here is all about "Dropping" cars so that the wheels tuck under the guards.

the bigger the rims, like say 20" on that BMW, ive seen even 22" under the rears of those cars.

its not my preferred style IMO, but some times they make it look good given the right rim choice.

Alot of Lexus IS250 / IS200 and other VIP style cars here have that look.

Do a majority of you guys use aftermarket front camber arm?

you can run pretty aggressive offsets with the oem arms front and rear. when the car is slammed the wheels tend to camber and fitment can be achieved if you know your offsets. Also a fender roll and mild fender pull can be done with minimal body work to run more aggressive wheels. or if you do not like the camber looked you can run camber arms to correct the negative camber but this will lessen the range of offsets you have available to reach the proper fitment. a little camber always looks good but it is really up to the owner. i preferred allot of camber almost touching the VIP arena. some dont. good luck.
