Spotted today at my local train station - unusual colour for a modded BMW and guessing its sitting on air ride, but thought it looked very good in a restrained type of way

Nice looking car.

I cannot get what people like about air ride all the way down, they just look too low to me. I would like to see it at driving ride height as I expect it would look nicer.

In addition to the ride height I'd change the wheels. Great colour though.

Wheels in themselves are fine, if a bit big, the issue are the rubber bands shoe-horned onto them.

And the air ride is crap too.

I’m on the fence whether this belongs in here or the badly modified thread!

You aren't allowed to post anything before the 80s in this thread! Prepare to be lynched.

Rubbish there are lots of nicely modified cars on air ride.

There certainly are, although for me they're usually nicely modified despite being on air-ride not because of it.

Exactly this. For me the 'air ride' just spoils anything. Totally pointless.

You don't like it, ergo, must be chav

I can never understand why it's not enough for some people to simply say that they dislike something, or it isn't to their taste, instead, they feel the need reinforce that by calling whatever it is chav, council or whatever derogatory adjective comes to mind.

For the record, I'm not a particularly huge fan either, but I'm not narrow minded enough to label a suspension system "chav" because of that. Seems you're in good company though!

The only cars I really like that are on air ride are those that don't look like they're on air ride. I have no objection to the principal or technology, just think cars with their wheels tucked under the arches and bellies scraping the floor like an obese Dachshund look st.

Yep agreed.

Erm, you're not allowed to say obese Dachshund (or chav) on here

[TheJimi]

We're not? Says who?

I often say chav or chavvy if a car is. Go on then……. Why not ?
