looking at reverting back to stock springs and have lost my original ones when moving house. Have a 2001 E46 sedan, currently running H&R and finding them a bit harsh especially with a little baby on board.

you could get a recaro booster http://int.recaro-cs.com/child-seat/recaro-milano

it just so happens i do have a spare set of seat and believe the sensors are all in tact hmmm, i'd love a set of these one day...must add to list.

Wow those look awesome , what model / type recaros are those mate? are they direct bolt in?

Hey Amber, how's those new rimz coming along, arrived in NZ yet?

sorted the random looseness in my e46 sports seats, little T25 bolt up under the seat back side bolster material was loose, bit of a mongrel to locate. all good now after puling seat out and tightening all loose nuts and bolts.

keen to keep an eye on this, developing a soft spot for E34's

great shots, the exposure and processing really captures the urban environment well. Cars and driver look good too

I run the Nexen Nfera SU1, really nice for the price. good levels of all weather grip and very quiet. I have them in 18" ://int.nexentire.com/product/prod_view.asp?prod_id=P49

this anti rattle DIY might help you out. When i pulled my rear deck to fix rattles the double sided tape under the rear plastic trim helped a lot. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=880622&highlight=rear+deck

Dropped car off at local painters for front bumper respray, long over due. Getting rid of paint cracks scuffs and scrapes.

Yeah, my H&R are nose down, which i expected and like but the back didn't quite settle as much as i really wanted...but meh looks great and rides super nice. I am sure yours will be awesome too! it'll look great .75" to 1" down

Cool beans! How much drop will you get from the Vogtlands?

began the fiddly task of installing baby seat rear tether brackets, whole rear interior out to get under parcel tray. all going well, fixed all the rattles while i was in there. Then miss drilled the holes for the tether mount, didn't correctly account for the shape of the brackets and where they would contact the rear tray, and now need a new tray or different mounts. I have seen some coupe ones that are straight up and down rather the Z shaped, will have to talk to dealer Monday. Pretty frustrated at myself for that blunder

WTB rear parcel shelf for 2001 E46 sedan, must have standard speaker option holes. I have all hardware and just need the shelf. Must be in good condition, no rips or missing foam etc, faded is ok. Cheers Ben

in respect to wheels have you looked at the HRE range? They are on the higher end of the market but the classics range is to die for http://www.hrewheels.com/wheels/forged example of classic 300 in black https://www.instagram.com/p/-QJk5Bv0gf/?taken-by=hre_wheels

I like the ambers on the Blue / black combo. They add a nice touch of contrast. the clears look a little flat. especially if your going carbon /matte black on other details. Or go for clears with amber bulbs maybe

Hey Amber, I can personally recommend VMR CSL style wheels, their other wheels look really nice too, their service was great and can ship direct. Also Apex ARC-8 are very nice and light, maybe more a track focused wheel though, http://www.apexraceparts.com/apex-products/e46-m3/#.VkTG8XYrLDc

Looks amazazing Amber, well done finding such a gem. Hopefully get to check it out in person at the ECC Summer madness.

look like VMR CSL reps - V703 like mine...http://www.velocitymotoring.com/vmr-wheels/ awesome wheels and great outfit to deal with

Hi, I mean adjusting the bar, so the end links are in different holes. Both front and rear are adjustable.

Hi guys, looking for some advice on adjusting my front sway bar, have read conflicting reports on whether this should be done with both wheels off the ground as to have no pre load on the bar when adjusting vs. adjusting one side and then lowering the car tothe ground to do the other side. What have the suspension gurus here done? I'm trying to soften the front a little, current setting is full still as per the H&R install instructions, so just having a play, will the adjust the rear to balance. Cheers

I had a similar issue a couple of years back, play in steering from side to side and a knocking or light thud when quickly turning the wheel side to side whilst parked, it ended up being part 3 in this diagram http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=AN16-EUR---E46-BMW-320i&diagId=32_0942 The unit had the smallest amount of play that transferred up the column and felt huge in the wheel. the part was replaced and all is good. the way the tested it was pushing on it from under the bonnet with a log screw driver, i could feel the play in the joint. good luck!

How's this coming along?

As Snowflake said, ask the team at VMR, Kevin who helped me 3 years ago did a superb job with discussing options and knowing what would fit in terms of max size / offsets and tires too.
