Guest Spargo Report post Posted May 28, 2005 S50 lump = 9K NZ, shipping extra. S50 'box = 3K NZ, shipping extra. Brakes + suspension = sky is the limit, what do you want to achieve. New propshaft = 500 NZ New Diff = 1K NZ Then add into that, labour... Just go buy an M3 already! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
