Lowering question.
Hey guys I have a 2011 750LI M package. I have lowered the car on H&R springs and using a Hamaan lowering module for the rear. The front is not low enough for my taste,can someone recommend anything that can be done to lower the front?

I have the same issue. My 740d is lowered with AC Schnitzer springs front and rear. I checked the heights before and after lowering. In front the car has lowered even 5mm's more than in the rear. Still the car looks like it's raising in front. I think the reason is because the front is very massive. The sidelines of the car are horizontal over the length of the car. They are not pointing down in the front as by all other BMW models. From some angles it's really disturbing me... (it's difficult to explain because my English is bad...)

And here you have a picture of an Alpina B7 with the perfect lowering. It's pointing down with the nose. That's how it should be...

I got the Eibach pro kit springs which just lowers the fronts up to 20mm for the long wheel base. They did not offer anything for the rear and when I took it into BMW to have the rear lowered electronically, they told me to leave it as the stance was perfect. Now the car sits perfect, the front is just very little lower than the rear. If I had electronically lowered the rear, it would have looked sloppy especially when taking off, the rear would squat even more. Also Eibach makes for Hamann, AC to their specs. I read somewhere that the AC height is the same as the pro kit I got. Reason I did not want to go lower, is to retain comfort. I do know for a fact that Eibach builds for Hamann, Hartge lower specs.
