Dennis' Cirrus Blue E30

[2mAn]

Hmmm they are probably E28 mounts. If/when these ones break I recommend the AKG mounts. They are the best IMO.

What rates do you have on the springs front and rear?

Not sure on the spring rates, feel on the order of 400#/600# - 500#-700#

those are good rates. nothing crazy firm, but excellent on the street and track

Mine were 500/700

Actually I just remembered I still had part number on rear spring that I replaced at least. It's a 500.225.650. A lot stiffer than I thought (650 lbs/inch)! I thought it was a lot less stiff as it doesn't feel all that stiffer than my 135i which is running a 700# spring and is ~800 lbs heavier.

650 is actually a "sport" level rate. 700+ is when you start to get aggressive "track" rates, but even 700 isnt bad

Almost 1 year of ownership and sad to report that this e30 will soon be replaced with an e46 m3 :( Would love to hold onto it but no room for so many cars. Can be sold with CA PNO or NV title.

You'll regret it. Store it for a little while and when you get bored of the E46 M3, you will still have the badass little E30 waiting for you

^what 2mAn said. Being e30-less is a mistake I won’t make again.

Agreed dont do it. Sold my obd2 S52 E30 for an E46 M3. I've gone thru MANY MANY cars, and the one car i regret selling is my S52 E30.

Some lawyer needs to set up an E30 pawn network where you can sell your car, warehouse it for a year, and buy it back or let it go. I don’t know if pawn is the right word for it, but that seller’s remorse thing seems to be a rite of passage for most E30 people.

I sold my e46m3 to get back into e30’s
