Sold already?

+1. Love E34's

Looks pretty ugly with those huge spacers I must say! But do-able.

Looks like it'll be a steal

Tried to send PM but didn't work? Maybe inbox full? I think the M sport springs would give a nice ride on their own tbh, and I wouldn't need to mess around with the shocks at all which would be good. Although I may still replace with some OEM Shocks while im in the area. I think the issue with the rear looking lower than the front is only on the facelift models. I remember reading that somewhere. Or atleast it's far less obvious on the prefacelift which is good in my case!

Thanks for all the suggestions! The Msport suspension and E90 drop hats seems like my best bet I reckon. Or even just the M springs would probably do me. I never thought of that combo though so thanks. H&R sports are probably not such a good idea with the stock shocks. Just wondering - do drop hats only go in the front or can they be put in the rear too? Probably a noob question but hey, i'm a noob. Now just to find those springs i guess....

Have read a little bit about it but just like cutting them, I think the ride will be worse. Plus im not that cheap! haha Ideally I'd like to get my hands on some second hand H&R Sports. Question still remains though - would stock shocks be okay?

Nope. Just going off what I've seen on American sites like turnermotorsport etc. If I could get them locally I might go for that. But I'm probably too lazy to look around locally. Sadly. I wasn't aware that the H&R OE springs lower the car. Good to know. Thanks

I've got my hands on some 15" weaves and figured that the next step would have to be suspension. I'm not looking for major/any performance increase really. And I don't want it 'slammed' . Ideally I would just like to purchase springs. I've done quite a lot of searching around and H&R Sport springs give a nice stance inho. Can these be run with the stock shocks or no way? Another option (i think) would be iS (Eg 325is) / msport springs. Even E30 m3 springs maybe but they'll be a little harder to find. I guess it's important to mention too that I have a prefacelift E30, with the better looking wheel arches . Also, I think the stock suspension/firmness/ride is great, and I definitely don't want to make it worse. Is there a way that I can achieve this without spending too much?? Below is a picture of the perfect height E30. It's not a lot less than stock but that little bit makes it look much better. Even something a wee bit higher than these pics would suit. Basically, I want to achieve something around this height. Thanks for looking :-)

Anybody know if E30 bottlecaps are worth anything? I'll have 4 to sell/store/get rid of soon so just wondering. They have tyres on them. Odd brands, tread ranging from 3-6 ish mm. Thanks

Yeah bro. Not quite as nice as yours but it'll do. ;-) Still a sweet car to drive.

Sweet car man. E30's are perfect first cars I reckon. A lot of youngins joining recently which is good, I'm not the only one anymore Anyway, welcome.

I've got an old, tattered factory shift boot. It doesn't have the plastic surround. Will let it go for free if you pay shipping

Good find. Am looking at getting something similar in the future. Like you said, I want to keep that nice OEM sound How did it all work, are you completing the trade through Ebay or not? Curious as to how you managed to avoid that tax, since it seems that the sellers themselves have no control over it.

Video once installed!!

Can't go too wrong with an E30. Patience is key. I got lucky with mine after waiting around 6 months. As for cost, I'm a 17 y/o college student and I didn't want to spent too much money on the car. I now spend most of (the little) I earn on it lol. Get my hands dirty too which is good fun with a bentley manual. Never driven an E30 other than my 325i. It's a very enjoyable car. Do recommend. Good luck :-)

From overseas I have used pelicanparts, BMA auto parts, schmiedmann, ecs tuning. They're all pretty similar in price. Schiedmann tends to be a bit cheaper but then again they're aftermarket parts. When getting parts overseas shipping is always a killer. Goodluck

Amazon's an option to buy from. I just went through checkout to see how much it would be for that 14815 to Wellington. $222+$129 shipping. And that's USD I think. Not sure if that's any use to you, but thought I'd try.

Welcome! Plenty of help here. What have you got in mind? E30? E39? ....

Agreed! Welcome Andy, nice car you have yourself

Drive home would have been sweet! Welcome :-)

haha, well it's not what it seems either. Carjam says it's only a 525i. why

Any for M20?

Nice E39 M5 Parked at countdown in Newtown. Anyone on here? And the ACS 740i I was talking about...

Probably your best bet Get it on video too
