3. Lowered look. I would like to see the car about an inch lower, but I don't yet feel comfortable doing this. I would like to understand why the car is riding as high as it does stock. There might be flow issues. Clearence does not seem to be issue as the 335 seems to ride lower (although I have not confirmed this for sure).
My wifes 335 Cab sits quite a bit lower than my M3 and it is stock with the sport suspension and 19's as delivered.I also do not understand why the M3 has a higher ride height.We do have issues with the 335 touching down the odd time and it is way more an issue in the winter.
