I lowered my AMG this morning, ended up going -32mm front and -40mm rear. Pictures don't do it justice, it looks awesome. The ride is harsher but not as bad as my last few SUVs that had H&R springs installed.

It took the U out of SUV......now it's just an awesome, tall car that holds a lot of stuff.

I am going to live with it over the weekend and if I leave it at this height, I will have it aligned.

Damn that looks great! I didn't think it could be any more sinister but you've proven me wrong.

I have never been too up on the your AMG in the previous state but the lowered stance sure does change the look. Looks really good. Whats next?

I had that same exact set up but after my fronts getting eaten and showing wire after 7k miles I put it back to stock ride height. The 21" PS4 are no joke $870 for the fronts lol

You didn't mention that when I asked you about it.

Did you do an alignment when you lowered it?

8,000 miles is what I got per set of tires on my GLE 63s so that doesn't sound that bad.

Tested out the utility of the car last night hauling a couple of kayaks to the lake. It towed the tiny aluminum trailer like a champ!

Last days of summer... decided to replace the badges X3 M40i for glossy black (iND)
I hope is going to be easy.

I’m thinking to remove x3 and leave it only M40i on “top right corner” Its hard choice. I like m division style of position., but also realizing that 2019 year brings fresh clean look with (x3 x4 x5) switching badges to bottom.

I plan to do the same...debadging and placing the gloss black M40i up top. But a part of me wants to just put it down low because it's the originated position. Post a pic when you're done so I can see what it looks like before I do mine

First year of X3 G01 they were placed up, so I would consider that as a original position

I debadged the X3 and left the M40i, before I had my ceramic coat applied.

I prefer it down bottom, as there's quite abit of space down there as opposed to up top where it looks a little squeezed in.
