I would like that in an E30 !

This car looks mint ! GL with the sale mate.

Should be BBS LM089

Ok so what i get from this is for E39's look at getting a 525i, ideally a 530i. E39 Wagons have stiff rear suspension. E46 wagons cant carry as much as E39's but 318i N42 are sufficient for good city driving? Might have to test drive a few car this weekend. This E30 wagon has popped up a few times: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-398726119.htm

Looking at buying a BMW Wagon, Can anyone comment on E39 or E46 wagons? will only be used for city driving and long distance, wont really be going up mountains or snow. What breaks on these ? what are the under powered models ? - i have had a 318i E46 sedan before and that was okay. I like the motorsport version E46's..especially the interior and kit ! Anyone know of any examples around ? - would consider e36's as well. Thoughts on these ? 318i motorsport: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/...n-389846656.htm 328i http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=399907392 Thanks Guys.

I had to raise the car a few mm and adjust the shocks stiffer due to rubbing in the rear under load and simply driving through corners.. Just drove it through Whitford to test and ive still got some rubbing in the rear im thinking i have to get some thinner tyres ive currently got 215/45's might have to go to 205/40's all around.. Any ideas ? firmer springs ?

Thanks for the comments guys, this shouldn't of taken this long but we all know how these garage projects go.. Would i do it again ? Yes, as long as your car isn't a daily driver, I will admit i learnt a bit more about my car and how things work. I spent about $2500 for new parts (AKG bushes, M3 brakes +control arm, whiteline sway bars, coilovers etc.) which i reckon is quite reasonable considering all the parts i changed. If you wanted just the brakes upgrade i would advise to check out massive brakes 4 stud brake kit - a lot less hassle IMO. Next project will have some boost
-
All Done! have to do a few minor tweaks but nothing major.. Drove it down the road and you can really feel everything with these AKG bushes. BBS RC090 17x8 ET20 Front brakes just fit. Just need to finish the centre caps and get locking nuts.

sold..awaiting payment

Its been awhile since last post, Cars finally on its new wheels. Took me long enough but have been finding so hard to find the time. Thanks to Mike & Leith @ Synthe for sticking around a bit later today to fit my tyres/wheels. Now have to tinker with ride height, find the exhaust leak, and re-bleed the brakes over the weekend. Will post pics up this Saturday

Hi Mark, Front sway bar will be out of the car this weekend if you want it. Cheers Andrew
-
Everything is done apart from the wheels and front sway bar, tried to install the white line sway bar and it's pretty tight bushes don't seem to fit that well in factory cups may have to rethink the strategy here. Anyone have any ideas? Going to finish the wheels tomorrow and it should be on the ground early next week.
