    I used to have RD springs on my old 325e back in the day - where did you find them for sale? Do you like them?

      Nice clean car you got there, I like it. Although the smiley part on the DEPO's look's alot larger then the smiley on the OEM lights.

        Damn i never knew how bad EVERYONE hate the depot smileys. i have had three sets on my cars in the past and really cant bitch to much about them. what kind of problems do you guys have with them?

        As far as my plans, i am trying to decide on which engine to swap in. I will either go with the S52 AGAIN with some sort of FI or if i can work out the engine management i want to put a S54 in it with a six speed tranny. then of course 5 lug swap BBK ect...

                      I think he was just suggesting you go that route.

                      As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                      You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.
