Bar

I just went through the entire thread. I can sleep happily tonight. Can you PM on the BAR process, Im going to get my OBD1 M52 ready for the BAR in the next few months. We have a lot of similarities so hopefully you can help make the process easy for me. I still have to wire up a CEL since my car is an 84.

Amazing build though, Im not surprised you havent had any issues.

PM'ed

Tie-rods

noob question here. are the tie rods the same ones just transferred over the Z3 rack?

thanks, big ups on the build!

Yes! i transferred them from my previous rack that came from an E36 325i, they are E36 inner/outer tie-rods

This May or may not be a long shot, Do you still have your front Bumper? I am in the market for an Alpinweiss II bumper, and or other parts you might have for sale.

RE: Lets do the exterior!

Comparison of 3 wheels
Bottle caps

BBS RS 16x7 ET25 (Stock 003 size)

BBS RS 16x8.5 ET6 (2.5" lip)

Here's your "spacer"!

Now the wheels need a 5-7mm spacer to fill wheel wells better, shame all the little grommets cost nearly the price of a kit.

But found a crack on 2 wheels, both on the inner barrels
