        Awesome! What was the solution?

        How do you like it with the 2.93?

            ^^^ How many miles? Depending on use, I'd say 40k miles would be wise to install new ones...especially with the bad Santa Barbara roads out here...

              Close to 15k-20k with the past ~-2k on LA roads. Never ridden hard always at the middle setting on M3 springs with 1 coil cut.

                check for vacuum leaks
                make sure your air filter is clean
                check your coolant...make sure they running those big fans straight into your engine when you're testing some techs forget to do that

                there's lots more you can do before you start throwing money at your car
                do you have a bentley? if you don't, get one or ask a buddy to borrow one...then get your own.
                Thanks for the help! and thanks marco 325 for the heads up!, I will most likely have all these done by this weekend. Also what engine oil do you guys use for your e30's? 20w50?

                  from the front it almost looks like a super cleanly modified E30. From the back... Well that's where it stops.

                                Anyone want to grab some beers tomorrow night? I am in town for a conference and would love to grab some beers with some local car people. I am staying near the Anaheim Convention center. Let me know if you are down for some brews!
