I love both equally. The 6 is just so timeless looking, but the 8 is flat out gorgeous. However, the 8 is harder to find with 6 speed gearbox, so unless it were a manual, E24 gets my vote.

Pretty much...

Fuck swapping suspension without air tools.

Fuck doing pretty much anything suspension-related without air tools. Shit, I just did the rear brakes on my wife's Volvo a few weeks ago, and I almost broke my fucking arm just getting one of the caliper bolts loose.

I'm spoiled, I don't even like working on cars with out a lift...

[Brilliantrot 318is]

Fuck swapping suspension without air tools.

Also fuck shops/po's who put random imperial bolts on suspension pieces making it a guessing game with each bolt.

Oh god...want me to run to the store to grab some tampons?

You've had your Delphine and you just did the suspension? Cool story :up:

Also, Brad fixes them and sells them.

I got a couple of photos of the new car, with the new wheels on.



And then had a little fun with Photoshop. This is about where the H&R Cup Kit should sit.

my brother had the turbodiesel W210, good car until he totalled it...

as far as tools, I would love airtools, but I have no problem using hand tools. but Im also not a little bitch, man up Schiznitz

[e30austin]

I will say that I worked with hand tools strictly until about 3-4 months ago when I bought myself a nice little DeWALT 20v impact driver. Boy, that little fucker sure does make jobs go faster.

Tl;dr, don't be a p u s say, just get 'er dun.

I'm sure no one minds using hand tools but I'm also sure non of you would mind using air tools and lift if you had them at your disposal

[kid325e]

Love me some high quality hand tools. Just feels good man.
