Very nice, but he must live in a place where there are no "traffic calming measures" a.k.a. speed bumps.

Can anybody comment on what life is like with a lowrider like this? I can't help wondering.

Many moons ago I ran a Golf II GTi with a Bilstein lowering kit and an OEM 16V spoiler. I learned pretty quickly that it helps if you go diagonally over bumps, but it was still bad. Back then those stupid %&@*@# bumps were not all the place like they are now. And my chariot was not nearly as radical as this.

These days I keep my cars standard. I have to spend the money on other things, like children, anyway.

The Porsche gt3 rs I had was low (stock). Going up someone's driveway no issue. Coming down I almost all the time needed someone to guide me down (had to go extremely wide) else I would scratch the front lip (and I did a number of times). Small bumps on those 60 zone roads had to go slanted to tackle them else I'd scratch the lip (wouldn't dare tackling a large speed hump). So definitely not very public road friendly. The lip was fortunately cheap at just under r2000. And in subsequent models Porsche introduced the lifting kit for exactly this issue. This particular m4 is even lower than the Porsche and I'm sure near impossible to climb anything larger than a stone
