Re: Advice on Spacer & Springs (E93)

brother , he dont even mentioned the off set of his new wheels what make you so sure is wrong Off set? may be wait for him to tell more about his true story, my understanding off set is not definite for 1 car, it depending on OE spec /rim maker spec may very , car tuner usually make your car more agrressive look so they are out of BMW OE spec can we say they are wrong?
just like may years back for E46 was given promo packaged came with tyre size 225/50/16(orginal 205/55-16), than 1 day the she went to tyre shop and changed to 205/55/16 with used OE rim, when she sent to PML for servicing,the SA told her how can you downgrade your tyre size? which is no good.
To me she did not down grade right? she just go back to original from upgraded tyre size.
So always ask yourself and tell the seller what you want, we are here just to share our view and opinion thanks

Re: Advice on Spacer & Springs (E93)

thank u all for the comments and advice.
merry xmas to all.

dog eats dog out there.
didnt die but to live smarter for another day.
anyway, wife forgave me for my stupidity.
family went with me for the first time to change rims and yet the shop tried such tactic.

shop @ kaki bukit road ... those familiar will know which shop.
first and last time to this shop.
all the time, shop talked about long term friendship, partnership, good publicity, relationship building ...
i can only shake head now.

need another opinion/advice, is stock e93 already too low to be further lowered with a set of new springs?

currently, there is an exhaust on the left, and a shop told me to add another exhaust to the right by welding and cutting a bit of bumper.
however, stock exhaust system remains ... just add a pipe extension running horizontally to the bumper.
would this have any negative impact on the car performance?

Since when this particular rim plus PS2 even in 19inch cost anywhere near 6k?
It's made in China for god sake hence the price is so cheap for tuner brand ..compared that wif the usual names like Hamann and AC.

At Kaki Bukit........there are 3 shops there. I patronize one and I dont think that is the one that sold u this rim. Must be the other one near the exit ??

Pardon me guys, but why beat around the bush on which shop? Bro affected should warn the others to prevent more victims.
...for folks like myself who is less informed of the kaki bukit place (i would definitely warn my buddies, dun wan them to get "hurt")
