GC's are overtaking the hearse brigade now.

She looks sweet OP, very very nice

335dxdrive · 04-06-2017, 03:15 PM

That looks awesome

Guessing you are an xdrive fan

CazuaLLUK · 04-06-2017, 03:18 PM

Stunning!

Three Bell Load · 04-07-2017, 03:07 AM

Very nice.
Favourite colour for a GC.

Abzynthe · 04-07-2017, 03:12 AM

Really nice colour

That arch gap is quite substantial though!

asif03 · 04-07-2017, 03:54 AM

Would love to see pictures of the carbon trim. Please

Lovely looking shape, would love to see more of the spoiler (as someone else has said)

I'd heard they'd sorted the ride height on LCI xDrive models, but from your photo it looks like it's still a cm or so more than xDrive.

That torque must be a load of fun after the 320!

Thanks for the comments, I hope to get a few more pics tomorrow

Yes it does sit too high, I take it ACS is the only way to go for lowering? I wouldn't want to go too low. How much would this be?

Also, is there any issue lowering with xdrive and would there be any warranty issues?

There are others, but ACS don't lower too much and they don't mean you lose your BMW warranty on suspension parts.

All info on how much they lower and where to order & get them fitted on their website:

Deutsche Tech in MK seem to be the most reasonable on fitting prices.

Great looking car. Enjoy!

vadimo · 04-07-2017, 03:25 PM

nice car and how is the diesel engine sound, less guff than pre LCI?

your x drive suspension picture reminds me of thread recently where OP was getting comments from other members thats something wrong with his x drive suspension as it was too high

beware!

Shiny!
Get some Dr Leather dye block on that ivory and in years to come it will look as a good it does today.

Diesel still sounds gruff on cold start, not too bad after it settles

Do you think it is sitting too high? It drives well enough

Here's a pic of the spoiler, it does look better in real life

Yes the extra torque does come in handy!!
