      Beautiful car, is it normal for tourings to only have the front window switches by the shifter?

          Front and/or Rear electric windows were an option. My car has electric front, manual rear. Also has heated seats.

                Not as bad as I thought it would be. It's pretty good zipping around town as it feels so light and nimble. Plan is to do an M52 swap over the winter.

                  Finally got around to installing the full ground control suspension kit which included their shortened housings & hybrid camber plates. The weather was glorious this weekend so I spent much of my time mobbing the car around the city. We have terrible roads in Montreal and with the dampers set on full soft it just ate all the bumps giving a firm but non-harsh ride. Car turns heads more then my M3, every 10 mins someone is waving or snapping photos. I had my camera with me so caught some photos in the wild.

                            Thanks everyone!

                            Mechanically it’s super sound but the steering rack has a little bit of play. Z3 rack will be a nice upgrade as the 4 turns to lock is a bit much.

                            I’m also going to take care of some of the rust areas I see. I’m leaning towards an eventual M52 swap but this little motor isn’t so bad zipping around town.

                            Cheers
