    @E30 325i Rag-Top Awesome overview you gave there! Everything I was hoping to find out, adds some character to the car when research reveals this kind of thing. To be honest, when I first bought the car it felt faster than others I tested. I put this down to the K&N intake/Remus exhaust, but possibly far more likely that it had a 'fiddled' ECU. I've recently discovered it has the later model ECU only fitted to cars post 2008, with BMW AK unable to find any service history to suggest it was a warranty or service issue. Interesting stuff, thanks guys!

    Hi, after looking through my E93's history, I found a stamp from BMW Munich, which explained why on Carjam the car is listed as imported. I then downloaded the following Vin-decode, which shows code 991a, pre-production management. Additionally, when I log in to BMW Auckland City, it shows the as attached: 335i Cabrio Press Car. Anyone familiar with this kind of thing and care to explain what this entails? JZ95204_EN.pdf

    Left hand side spring perch rubber is definitely in better condition, RF has a tear in it so will replace as that won't be helping, will check back right lower mount tonight. Seems to sit lower in both the front, and the rear on the right hand side.

    Hi, As per title, since installing (used) Bilstein shocks in my E93, the right hand side of the car has sat lower, feels as though it is bottoming out over certain (but not all) bumps, and around corners even at slow speed. Before I continue to throw money at it, does anyone with more experience know which part failures are most likely to exert these symptoms? Top mount failure, spring or the strut itself? I've already replaced the end-links with adjustable variants, and had the caster bushes replaced, but neither have helped. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Much difference cost wise?

    Hi guys, Slowly completing the notable 'replace before tuning' list, but have been holding off walnut blasting as I'm not sure what a reasonable quote is for the job? I've seen previous posts suggesting as little as $250, whilst the quotes I've received are nearly $900 GST exclusive! Anyone got a recommendation for a reputable service centre to do the job in Auckland? Thanks
