I love my stromung, but dang their CS sucks, emailed, no response, tried calling, their messages box is full. GG.

Anyone know where I can get some SS stock catback ends? need to weld the stock flare and that back on my stromung.

If you don't mind some down time, send yours to "Gregs///M" and he will rebuild yours. Not sure what he charges for doing it, but I'm sure it's far less than $600.

I did this with a spare M42 AFM and he did great work. Would highly recommend.

Yeah, I had the same problem with my M42 catback and their customer service is nonexistent. I still need to get to an exhaust shop...

So BMW Parts of South Atlanta has one for $520 + $50 core and ~$40 shipping. Greg at Bavarian Restoration is $400 + $100 core and unknown shipping. So looks like I can save a little money, but was hoping for something closer to <$200! Parts.com has one for $480+$50 core but ~$60 shipped. So yeah, I might go with Greg, or maybe just contact him about doing the restoration myself. http://www.bavrest.com/air-flow-meters.html

wow, they really put the screws on M3 owners

[hankolerd]

Makes me want to sell the M3 and put the money into the 328i instead, but I know I would regret that :P

Jesus. Didn't realize it was quite that much. I'd rather have a new one for that price (no offense to Greg himself.)

I cant remember the name of the place but I had the MAF in my E34 M5 rebuilt and it was only ~$200. Might not be the same with the AFM though

[Gerta]

What's the deal Simon? Are you selling your car?

We hired a new drafter at work. He drives this super clean e36 M3/4/5. Dinan suspension and engine management, AA exhaust, etc.

[Nesset]

That wheel tire fitment is spot on... Jesus.

Could be, wouldn't find me touching battery's that would basically kill you one wrong move though.
