Very comfortable ride, sporty but not harsh. Not super luxury either, you can feel pebbles on the road, but in a good way!

Nope not me! I better check the garage though hahah. I'm an hour north of Toronto and haven't really had the car on the road at all since getting it painted. Sounds like there's a really really sexy car driving around Niagara though!

I adore the ride quality on mine with H&R/Bilstein. 19" wheels.

That's how you'll know if it's me or not
I've only ever seen one other blue coloured E38, and it was a member here who lived in Brampton! Every other time I see one it's all rusted to hell with the basket weave wheels.

Not sure how low but 85mm clearance at the front, 100mm clearance at the rear and lowered on BC extreme lows, maxed out fronts without dropping the spring perch.

jazigk do you scrape everywhere, or just speed bumps? doesnt look like you are even able to clear curbs
Not at all, or yet. It's not even that low compared to a lot of other guys here.
I ran my Alfa at about 50mm for 7 years daily, so 85mm is a breeze. You just learn your town and streets. What you can and can't do, where you can and can't go. Thinking about height/clearance for stuff becomes so second nature it's like driving a manual. You just do it sub-consciously.

My car rides/drives like an E39 M5 only slightly more sporty. Very comfortable. I have never been in any situation that made me feel like it was harsh. It's absolutely perfect in every way to me.
My car is a 2001 and has a fully rebuilt E39 M5 S62 V8.
