Johnrando - totally stock, no mods.

Ah thanks. It looks lowered in that pic, must be the shadows/dark hiding the wheel gap.

John,

I installed a dropped suspension on my first E46, a then new 2000 323i - I was into autocrossing then and it was a pretty good performer with the new suspension, but here in the northeast, particular CT (we have the worst roads in the nation), the ride was punishing - even my stock ZHP is pushing it, driving it into NYC with 18's always gives me some worry. If I were to do it again, my track car would be a separate entity.

Your car looks nice - I was in LA this past June and the roads are perfect for a dropped car, but the slow, slow, slow average driving speeds (thanks to traffic) drive me nuts :)

Nice detail, thanks. Yes, the road speeds here are usually higher than many places UNLESS you're in traffic, and then it's a crawl. So, the secret of course is to time your drives around traffic, which is increasingly hard to do. There aren't many places who's traffic flows faster than here when things are moving so I know what you mean as I consistently travel to other places and it drives me crazy (no pun intended) on how slow people drive elsewhere.

You got that right; we sure do have some of the worst roads. This is usually more of a problem on back roads but driving through NYC makes me want to stab myself.

Found a story on Road and Track about the revival of the straight six. Thought I'd modify their artwork a bit :)
