if you dont wanna scrape your car on the floor dont slam it.
oh you wanna slam it? get an x brace it will protect your pan even though its no where near danger
what about my frame rails? dealwithit.gif there no way to avoid it if you are low.
skid plates only will reduce clearance not worth it, so either get 18's or dont slam it because your rails hitting the ground is inevitable
i also want to point out that you have to notably really low to constantly hit them andscraping them once in a while is ok, they will look like dr ak's above which is fixable if you care that much.
you would die if you saw mine or other really low e36 rails. ill post a pic when i canLast edited by Jesus Christ; 11-03-2011, 01:15 PM.

i can't grasp the idea that people who "love" cars so much don't see rust on the frame rails as a concern. let alone the fact that we're talking about "frame rails" that really aren't frame rails since the car is unibody. whether it's a 5k BMW or a 50K BMW i'd still treat it the same way. i'm just a pussy with cars.
and like the numerous other posts; if you're that low that you're scraping, either be anal and keep protecting the steel or just man up and go ballin'

It's not like the floor is gonna fall out like in fast and the furious, all you'll get is a little surface rust which is easily repaired should you want to restore it or just decide you don't wanna bang it anymore.
For what it's worth I wouldnt do it to a e46m or e39m but fuck it it's the most produced BMW and probably one of the most produced European cars. So have fun, banger up and fix her or throw her out.....or just don't slam it.
