Pics of 19" CSLs on 335XI

timic101 · 05-17-2008, 12:07 PM

Got them mounted this morning. I think they look pretty sweet. Of course I wish it was lowered it a bit, but I think it's a big improvement from the way it looked before. Any other 335XI owners have suggestions on how to effectively lower it?..pics would be nice.

Looks good!!

Im going to do those wheels too with some KW v3.

marcvtec · 05-17-2008, 01:07 PM

Paint the beige to grey around the centercap, and paint the bolts black
I had to do the same to mine.
Looks so much better, trust me

timic101 · 05-17-2008, 07:56 PM

They are gun metal grey w/ Goodyear Eagle F1s.

J BONE · 05-17-2008, 08:10 PM

Looks good. I don't think a drop is that necessary although everyone will flame me for saying that!! Looks great

OKG · 05-17-2008, 10:41 PM

I like the grey on silver.

xi? Is that not equipped with sport suspension? Also, what are the make of wheels and offset? You got to post the stats man!

e90AW335i · 05-17-2008, 10:57 PM

Very nice. Congrats.

BBONG · 05-18-2008, 12:39 AM

how much do u pay for those rims timic101?? those rims look so nice!!!

timic101 · 05-18-2008, 07:32 AM

I ordered them through EAS - a bit of a cluster, not sure I'd buy from them again, but I hear they are the only ones who carry this color. 19" x 8.5" CSLs (non staggered).
The car is an XI w/ premium, nav, & cold weather package. Unfortunately no sport package. The more I stare at this in my garage (and love it!), the less I think I'm going to drop it. I live in New England with lots of crappy roads & potholes. Looks like the only viable option will cost my over $2,000 plus installation. I think it looks pretty bad ass as is and I FREAKING love the color, especially on the silver color car.

timic101 · 05-18-2008, 07:32 AM

BrianB - I paid about $2300 when it was all said & done with shipping. Although I have $100 in Goodyear rebate forums for the tires.

stevenqdz · 05-18-2008, 09:23 AM

nice

Looks really nice man!
I'll be joining you shortly!

bluespeed117 · 05-21-2008, 06:05 PM

drop the car, then they will look 100000x aggressive

CarbonE39m5 · 05-21-2008, 08:26 PM

wheel locks are the way to go, i have the same wheels, though mine are the +22 offset in the rear and it looks siiicck

OverDrive · 05-21-2008, 08:31 PM

wow that looks awesome. I though the wheel gap would be showing mro but it kind of looks good. It barely even needs a drop.
I like your style

Ron@Modbargains · 05-21-2008, 08:37 PM

Looking good hyperblack, now drop it!

Options on drop springs wise - H&R springs
Coilover : KW V3xi - the best choice out there
or H&R coilovers.

Mike 01Hawk · 05-22-2008, 07:12 AM

Gap looks fine.... don't be driven by the forums to drop if you don't wanna.

The sport package on the Xi does not include any changes/lowering to the suspension. It is more of a cosmetic package. Sport wheel/airbag and sport seats with adjustable side boslters, factory oil cooler and the $600 option of the 18" 162s I am kinda bummed they didn't lower it just a bit to make more of a distinction and a more sporty exterior appearance, but such is life.

Love the CSLs, my buddy just put the M3 220s on his e90 335xi and they look great too with out a drop. Good to see some pics of non lower Xis to give people ideas.

Enjoy!
