In Reply to: My First Homepage .... some pics, etc.. posted by Fred 1988 735iL on December 23, 2001 at 15:12:27:


really looks nice..I have a lowered 735il as
well..have a few questions and comments:
- judging by the drop, looks like you went with
Bav Auto lowering springs..did you delete the
LAD or adjust the rod/U-clamp on the rr. sway
bar?

- Those wheels look real nice on the E-32..are
they OE BMW or aftermarket..looks like they
are 17" is that correct?

- What kind of wheels are on the seriously
slammed E-32..M7 car..are those Racing Dynamic
Wheels? 18"?..presume that car has coil overs
to get that level of drop in a static/parked
state?

- Lastly..a comment..as nice as that BMW emblem
looks on your airbag..you should take it off..
even if you perforated the cover to rap the
badge flanging around it..please listen to me..
I designed air-bags for passenger cars for 10
years..that emblem.."will" come flying off in
the event of an air-bag deployment. Badges you
see on production air-bags were subject to
exhaustive testing and early efforts almost
invariably resulted in emblems trajecting of
the air-bag cover surface..and these emblems are
specifically designed to stay attached..there is
a real sensitive balance between placement and
interaction with the tearseam..please consider
what I say.
Happy Holidays,
George
