So hey, I'm new, here's my ES and stuff

[Nowayman]

Suspensions on. Ended up doing bilstien sports, vogtland springs. It's not settled yet. I bought e90 hats, wanted to see where it was without them first, so I held off on installing them.




327i stuff is next on the list. I have all the parts, just need the time.

Wow, that really is looking nice, love the wheels. Looks like your front lip was replaced with an is one at some point.

[Nowayman]

Yeah I thought that too so I started looking for es valences, even repros, and they show that as es. I'll find a real one eventually haha

Listed as "es"


Also thanks!

lol if you're gonna replace it do a PB or euro bumper!

[Nowayman]

I don't like plastic bumpers actually. I'm weird. I dig the early cars. It's interesting that you say euro bumpers though, I'm about to order some. I doubt they'll end up on here until next spring tho.

I think we all know that is not an es valence.

An es valence is this..... Without the center lower vents.

Yeah I pretty much meant while looking for a "new" one, I keep finding the "is" valences listed as es, used, repro or otherwise.

I'll get more wheel/tire pics soon. I went with 225/50/15 falken 512s. I bought them because they were recommended by a friend as decent and they really aren't half bad.

What's the ride like with that suspension? I've been thinking about the same setup for my es.

[Nowayman]

It rides really nice actually. It's fairly stiff, I actually wish the sprig rates were a little bit higher, but for a car I drive a few hundred miles a week it's perfect.

:D I wouldn't have quoted it if I didn't like it!!
