      I might have missed it, but did you put the BavAuto coils in? I'm going to replace/upgrade mine soon, and I'm tempted if they're worth it.

        honestly i did not feel a difference. But i had a bad coil so it was hard for me to do a comparison. they are cheaper and suppose to be better than oem. or thats what bavauto states. they do look nice though! i got mine on sale. i still think they might have a sale on them on the bavauto website. I still think its better to buy these then used coils. that way you know what you are getting works and is brand new!

          I'd be lying if I said I didn't want them partially for how they look. I don't run the coil cover on my engine, so I want them to look good with the rest of the engine bay, since I also have many red accents.

            i don't have the coil cover on mine either. I really like the way they look. i agree they make the overall look good, since my car is zinno it fits nice in the bay. The only thing i didnt like about them is that when you take them out of the box it says made in china on a sticker on the back of each coil. the stickers peel right off of course. but its just weird why they wouldnt just take those off before they sold him. but i guess everything is made in china most the time anyways. lol

              Great looking car. I'm surprised theres is not more E30 action in Arkansas. Over Thanksgiving I went up to Lake Hamilton with the in-laws. The roads had me wishing I had brought my E30 instead. I'll be up in Little Rock every two weeks for work for the foreseeable future. Maybe you could show me where to pick up some parts local to the area.

                Yeah I would be happy to show you around. The e30 seen has got bigger compared to what it was a couple years ago. But it is still relatively small compared to other states. There are some awesome roads here in AR! I will pm you my number so you will know how to reach me when you come through AR.
