Lol will have it cut by today. New IS sideskirts are also on its way.

[Danny]

Cut a coil, its really not a terrible thing to do, fuck what these guys have to say.

[ZM Blue Devil]

Should i cut a coil or replacing the spring pads would help? Thinking of another inch drop at least. Would that be half or 1 coil?

Here we go, so much for a dd...

[ThreeTwentyFissel]

wow, nice find...

[atan88]

Definitely would be nice to see this out there. But i'm sure the e9 will be present.

Yup E9 will be out this Friday but the e30's exterior might be also done by Friday. Today most of the dents are pulled. The rear spoiler , new lip, lower bumper and fog covers are being painted. by Thursday wet sanding ;)

Nice work once again Alvin! Bring out the 318is this friday. So it was the rear bearing that was making the noise and not the diff right?

Yup it was the right rear and I had both sides replaced. Its all nice and quiet now. Next is I need to buy a stock AFM. Mine seems to be out of tune.

I had the suspension installed. Im using Eibach springs and the front seems to be higher than I expected. Should i cut a coil or replacing the spring pads would help? Thinking of another inch drop at least. Would that be half or 1 coil?

A picture is worth a thousand words.

All the parts are installed including new rear wheel bearings and this time I helped with the wrenching :D. Next is to have the entire car wet sanded , have all the dents removed, paint the new IS lip and repaint the stock rear spoiler, front bumper for now then have the interior recovered. I also purchased a used 325is rear seat with headrests ;)

[Brian 89 325i]

That car is very lucky you found it. Even as your daily driver it'll be taken care of better than most cars on this board. Nice find, clean car.
