That is a perfect ride height. And those spacers make this thing look so flush. Excellent choices. I dig your style man

ThisFlyGuy · 12-21-2012, 02:21 PM

looking good. very cleanly modded Barry...
Oh, i just came back from dropping off my E60 M5 there from Sam's.....he's returning back to stock for me

cmhsam · 12-21-2012, 02:27 PM

This car looks sick! Cant wait to see it in person

SANguru · 12-21-2012, 02:27 PM

looks great barry.

boots · 12-21-2012, 02:35 PM

Awesome. I cant wait to order my HR springs. The height sets it off just right.

Vic55 · 12-21-2012, 02:39 PM

The color alone is a tasteful mod (if thats what we can call it) to me ... it differentiates other 5 series cars much easier than wheels and cosmetics.

Please do! Looking forward to seeing this tomorrow at C&C too.

stealth.pilot · 12-21-2012, 03:40 PM

Looks excellent Barry. The spacers create a perfect stance.

wisesoul · 12-21-2012, 04:22 PM

Ok I think I might buy H&Rs and spacers now because of you. Thats clean as I want it! Classy

Bokke · 12-21-2012, 04:39 PM

Very nice!

Well done

Rob///M5 · 12-21-2012, 04:59 PM

Perfection

BarryB · 12-21-2012, 06:01 PM

Thanks guys. I love the look of the car stock but the little things make it pop. Glad most agree. And best of all pretty inexpensive (except for the exhaust - but worth it....) I am not a good photographer so it looks better in real life IMO. (Rob can verify)

star21 · 12-21-2012, 07:27 PM

Very clean.

I'm glad you're one of the handful of members willing to share information. In this case, spacer/wheel offsets.

Charlie Brown · 12-21-2012, 07:40 PM

Very nice.. I like the clean de-chromed look.. How happy are you with the race exhaust and how expensive was it to buy and install?

Maybe we can choose a picturesque spot to meet and I'll bring my camera. We can get a few shots of blue and silver

nyamg · 12-21-2012, 09:06 PM

Looks great, the stance is perfect.

Paul02 · 12-21-2012, 09:35 PM

I've installed spacers in my head

Very tasteful indeed BarryB - subtle, just right like warm porridge.

Can I please ask where you purchased the spacers and which springs you applied? Are they the H&R sport springs Part no. 50468? (1" inch front, 0.6" rear)?

uhn2000 · 12-21-2012, 10:38 PM

Real nice Barry, glad I ordered the spacers. How much of an affect on cabin sound does the exhaust have?
