E24 Springs

Lol, it is always that way, whateve you own. Its difficult to not be biased really. I didnt like the m3 e30 shape before, but now i have fitted it i have found myself prefering it!

With the tailpipes, i don't want anything overstated, and it isn't to copy the new m3 either. I just want a reverse camera, and better reverse lights, so the extra tailpipes allow me to add this without having to adapt the boot badge for the camera, and have an aftermakret jap like rear light add-on.

I'm going for 2"> 2.5" rolled out, 2 of either side, so no big ovals or jap boxe's etc. It is questionable, and i took a fair bit of time to consider it. Good thing is i can always put the bumper back as was with a little work, and remove the pipes if need be.

The six has taken over alittle more recently though, and i have to keep slaping myself for doing a "to do list".

At onepoint i have 3k already spent, and that was suspension, wheels alone. I have to tame it down a little, otherwise the 335 will never get done.

 

Looking at the speed of the 635 i'm not going to turbo the 335i. i'm just fitting lightened engine, head/ cam etc, and multiple throttlebodies. All in all i will be around 300bhp, a tad lower maybe, but very quick even so. Unfortunetly up and coming things like houses start to take their tole, and i can see me fighting to keep hold of both!

I think the mtec 2 kit on the e30 really nasty. the mtec 1 is reat, and very similar to the 6 kit here, with the rib's etc. i like the valanceon the back of the six, but the sideskirts, do very little. they either need to be more pronounced, or just leave them out all together

Aye but on a non big bumper model do you not find them a little "skimpy" at the back,?

The rear apron is nice and doesnt look out of place with the centre exhausts..

in saying that the rear apron would look out of place without the skirts so its a vicious circle,

 The e30 mtec 2 kit is a work of automotive art so its a pity they failed somewhat here with the skirts..

Well, in the UK, they do a good job of hiding rust......

ahh, put the yellow one back up - it's real pretty

Decided to opt for coilovers instead as sourced them locally and its a better investment than 15kg post from the uk!,

Thanks for all replys on the topic.
