That's worse than mine (below) and that's saying alot... considering I did it in MS Paint.
Thumbs up for having good taste in wheels though...:drinking:

Sorry but that looks poor.
The wheels look ridiculous. Change it to 18" CSL's and show us again!

i stated it was a quick pshop, meaning that i put almost no effort in to it, srsly it took like 2minutes to do that and post it.
Anyways.. now you get an *idea* of what it can look like with csl's and a drop |

Will the OE CSL's fit the 135i or are we stuck with reps? I was under the impression the offset was way off.

Actually I think it's a good start; but concur that the drop is too severe and it looks like a strut failure in front. The lower mold line combines with the severe rake adds to the saggy look. The wheels are too big for sure and would not survive the DC area or anywhere else where pot holes are involved. It's clear that this would not work on the track or in any situation where handling is important. To achieve any kind of favorable handling with this much lowering the spindles would need to be raised (personal experience on two track cars). I like the lip extension and might be inclined to add a small splitter; but, that may not come off well.

This is how early car design sketches are always shown. Huge wheels with rubber band tires and no wheel gap. It gets people exited until they see the real thing on the showroom floor. Mind you the 135 with 18" wheels looks just fine to me.
