      I'm looking at horns on eBaymotors now. Right now I'm just looking at BMW horns.

        hella makes a sick horn set up. trumpets are red in color i believe.

        to whoever asked about the big deal about bilstein sports. they are preferred on lower cars because the shock piston is shorter, which reduces bottoming out. also they are valved different than bilstein hds to be a tad firmer. trust me, they are night and day from stock, and even more so from KYBs.

        which eibachs are you planning on running?

            I'm going to do a search for Hella horns now.

            They're black Eibach shocks. I dunno, I already own them and rear Bilsteins. All I need is the front.

            Don't feel obligated. I know that would probably really suck to lug around. Actually I don't even know how you'd do it if you're taking a plane?

                Nice, we'll have to figure it out. See if its worth it and all.

                  Yeah. It's not heavy at all, just kind of an annoying size. The box o' stuff is easily transportable, but the center section is long and not really bag-sized. I can probably wrap it with tons o' bubble wrap, brown paper bags, and packing tape, and they'll check the amorphous mass without issue. How much is the bag charge?

                    Probably a lot. I wish my front Euro bumper wasn't so warped.

                        Yeah I was listening to some sound clips of the Hella horns last night and they definitely have an odd sound to them.

                        I'm going to go see what the deal is with my current horn.

                            OOooo Tan interior? The tan interior weighs a lot more so I don't think our cars would be at all alike....

                              my 325is with the S52 and black leather is soooo much faster than my 318is with tan vinyl and my 325e with tan vinyl were, and it is NOT the engine!

                                See, its all about color. Black people are faster than white people; it really makes sense if you think about it.
