    Slammed e39 ---> Bagged e46m3

    havent sold it yet, but will sell soon my slammed e39:




    and bought a e46m3. Ya'll have probablly seen it around before. My first order of business is replacing the 20's with some 18's or 19's and getting an alignment at a lower ride height. The ride height is monster truck-ish. Next thing I'll do is probablly change the air management to AutoPilot V2.

    Thanks! I was thinking of getting a 19x11 square set of varrstoen es1's. There's a e46m3 guy (@e46_kieth on instagram) running 18x11 in the front and 18x12 in the back, so i assume it's possible.

    I'm not into giant wheels, but there is no way I would take those off...
