Hi all S.W.
Car is from 1997, m62b44 with 370.000 km on his neck., full service history....I was looking for him 4 years to buy in excellent condition, and finally I did.
It is in nice condition (if we look on car that has 18 years), but there is plenty stuffs to do more...
Modell: 540I
Motor: M62 - 4,40l (210kW)
Gearbox: Automatic steptronic
Color: Fjordgrau Metallic (310)
Interior: Standard leder/Black (N6SW)
Winter setup style 33 7Jx16 with 225/55/16
Summer setup was on style 32 8jx17 and 9jx17 235/45/17 & 255/40/17
Car have Electronic Damper Control (EDC) and this is making me a big problems how to lower car and keep OEM shocks and EDC functionality.
Was googling a lot and finaly found some solution how to make it little bit lower. I will change springs from german manufacturer Lowtec.

But still didnt decided how low it will go.
and finally i found rare set of 4 RH XD 8.5Jx18 ET36 3 pcs CB=72.6mm for 3-7 series.
now my plan is to make rear wheel wider to 10J - 10.5J
i used 3 pcs calc and if im going to choose 3.25'' lips for rear (10J) offset will be ET17.....and because of wrong CB still need spacers for coversion 74.1-72.6mm
How much space i have for offset on rear? I found that on e39 min and max offset is from 11-28......what if i had 11Jx18 ET6???? will it fit
