It's obvious that the guys and gals in japan don't like to sit on stock anything, when it comes to their cars...

if you can afford it, more power to you.....I love driving my bosses 745Li every chance I get, but the GS > 745Li in terms of comfort.

745Li has crazy cheap leather and a cheap dash

You might want to talk to GS4Fun. He sold his GS and bought a 745. He is either selling or sold the 745 since he was not happy with it.

Wrong, you only need to do an alignment at the "driving height" that you wish. When your air suspension lowers the car, it automatically goes into negative camber, but when you go back to the normal driving height, the camber will still be set at the alignment setting that you specified.

You don't align your car everytime you raise or lower your car on air suspension. It doesn't work like that.

LOL, I think if their cars can jump up and down a few feet on hydraulics, a straightly aligned steering wheel and 4 wheels are the least of their concerns!

Either way, when your car is dropped on air suspension like all these GS'es posted on this thread, they are not drivable at all. Their downpipe or front midpipe or cats would have been sitting on the ground long before the wheels are stuck under the fender. I know that's how my car is right now. It was dropped another inch a few months ago and I was already scraping my 4" downpipe on the littlest bumps. I know when I get my air in the next coming few weeks, and if I am going to drop it as low as what you see in these pictures, the downpipe and probably all the suspension linkages would already be kissing the asphalt. No need to even worry about driving straight, I don't think the car can even move forward at all.

It's all for show and the ooh-aah factor.

So does anyone know who can get this particular bodykit?
I'm in the market for one and like this since it is nice and subtle looking.
