Would lower body makes parking more difficult?

I drive a E60 and am pondering about changing to Breyton Springs which will lower the body by 30mm. But I am worried about parking. With a lower body would I have much problem with those low kerbs?

Depends on a number of variables such as whether your car is kitted, whether you have alot of pasengersin the car and how high the hump is (we all know there are humps and there are humps).

For me, I juz extra careful when clearing hump. When I am in doubt, I will manoeuvre the hump at a slight angle so that not both front wheels cross the hump at the same height. Having said that, sometimes still scrape. Bo pian. I tried:)

I have 18" wheels. I am most worried about those low kerbs at HDB parking lots. Whether the lower part of the back bumper can clear or not?

Stock suspension will clear most front and back even with 18" wheel.
Stock suspension with M-tech kit front will not clear, back - no problem.
Sport or after market suspension, front will not clear, back - no problem
Sport or after market suspension with M-tech kit , front will not clear, back also no problem
If you have huge aftermarket exhaust then back also go to watch out.
Always reverse park no matter where you go and if not sure. Trust the PDC as well if it is red don't push it anymore.
