Is this stock or does it look dropped?

Hi All,

Does my e92 look dropped? I was thinking about lowering it some more, but after looking at some photos of E92s with eibach springs it doesn't seem to be that different, but not sure. Let me know what you guys think.

By the look of that notorious front gap, I'd say stock.

Just take a look at what springs you have on it, that would answer your question. Should be able to see the springs with the wheels on. Rear might look a tad low in that picture, front looks relatively stock. I like minimal gap between my fenders and wheels, hence I went lower.

How many miles? My e90 looked slightly dropped when stock but in reality it was worn suspension.

126K. Hmm wonder if that could be it, but it seems to drive fine

Before and after I installed the ECS refresh kit at around 130k miles. The rear of the car definitely raised an inch without any strut/spring work.

It still felt pretty good at 130k, although it started to creak over speed bumps and clunk occasionally, which brought me to the refresh kit. I did springs and struts about 3k after.

Thanks! I figure it should look nice if I spend all my time maintaining it.
