MY MOTIV BMW

For BMW owners and enthusiasts

Ive got a E39 Se 530i with 18 inch wheels. Looking to upgrade springs but dont know how much I can lower it without rear tyres rubbing. Should I go 30mm or 50mm? Can anyone advise me?

Cheers

Andy.

I have Eibach springs which are good and other members also have similar views for E39's.
I think 30mm should be plenty:)

Fan motor anyone? 7 Replies

I don't suppose anyone has an auxiliary fan motor for a 2000 E38 do they. Needs to be the last type with the three pin connector and no resistor packs.
