The stance would look even better on the X4 body type vs the X3. Coming from the Z car, any reasons why you did not go with the X4?

Now, you just need to increase the negative camber to get that same look as your 'Fairlady'...

We just took a pic off the web and messed with photoshop.

After I had the Z, I got an M4 (miss that car) - but when I went to BMW i just fell in love w the X3 over the X4 - not really sure what it was

I dont know that I would go crazy w the negative camber on this guy honestly - I'll need some wheels to make it all work

I second that. To each their own, just because it's not for everybody doesn't mean it's not worth doing if OP has the passion. This is what this forum is about.

I'd like to see the end results too.

Wouldn't ever be something that I'd do to my vehicles but I say go for it if that is the look you want. Seems like you'd be one of the first to do it as well so definitely post photos of it when done.

Torinalth · 04-11-2019, 03:54 PM

Think that is a bit too low in the adulterated image, but looks good in general. If you do pursue the air suspension I encourage you to look into exterior mounting of the gear and share if you find mounting solutions

I say let your freak flag fly and bag that bimmer. Would like to see how the mechanism works.

I know it's not the same, but my first BMW was a 2001 X5 4.4 with all the sport options and it had the auto-leveling rear air suspension. That thing could corner like crazy.

It really does look insane. I want to pull this off so badly. LOL

nvestr · 04-12-2019, 07:26 AM

Certainly not my cup of tea. I've always shook my head at this ''hella flush'' or whatever trend that the VW kids have been doing for years. I personally think it's the stupidest, most useless thing ever. The levels of negative camber that they are aiming for (just like your Z) does nothing but decrease handling, create stress on the suspension, destroy tires and I would question the roadworthiness of such levels of negative camber on such little rubber.

I think an X3 and BMW's in general are more grown-up cars that should not get this type of treatment.

My honest opinion - you asked for it :O

Man, someone beat you to it on an X3. But if you hurry up you could still be the first modding the M40i this way

I wonder what size those massive wheels are. The biggest after market wheels I've read in this forum was 22".

SK1801 · 04-12-2019, 10:59 AM

What brand of wheels are those? I love to concave look and i am searching for sth like that.

I agree 101% and wonder how this trend started. Anyway, to each their own... people should be free to do whatever they want with their cars, it's their money after all, but I think this type of mod is horrible.

Note: thanks the OP for explaining what's "car bagging", I had no idea of the meaning of it.

Torinalth · 04-12-2019, 03:35 PM

hmm, the white one doesn't look all that terrible. still too low. but with non-stretched tires and bump it up another inch or 2 and that'd be pretty great looking. almost like an over-bloated GTI.

weez · 04-13-2019, 09:40 AM

Lower too much and your SUV (SAV) truly becomes a crossover to wagon/estate.
