Lol.

1700 seems about right lately.

[VAPORBLADE]

Lol.

1700 seems about right lately.

100 more than I paid for the car! LOL!

[matt]

So? My e30 cost me $1500. I'm up to about 7k now...

[japspecvr6]

i had paid 2.5k for my e30 3k to swap..........Just Stay 4 lug and get the Brake kit.....

[VAPORBLADE]

Oh yea, I totally do not care about how much I end up putting into it. I forecast at least 20K....however, I would like to be smart about it. It is a passion rather than a necessity.

Dude, sooo many people buy more than they need to. You have a 325. If you are going with the lee's massive kit like I am on one of my cars, you only need one part on the rear after you buy his kit.

01 DRIVE FLANGE 2 33412225510 $216.50

You need one per side. And that is it. All the other parts including arms, shafts and bearings are all identicle from the 325's to the m3's. Save coin bro!

[VAPORBLADE]

That's the plan!

The Junk yard wanted to give me arms and all the other items either not needed, or will be replaced by aftermarket items.

The new list didn't include the non needed items (swing arms..etc.)

[Van Westervelt]

on the front the bearings are different so you need all the parts for securing those, you dont need the pulse generator as they are the same. Going all new is about 2000.

You dont even want to know what all I got for 1700 this week. Would make you jealous :)

[VAPORBLADE]

You know you want to PM me the hook-up! :D

[VAPORBLADE]

Right now I have priced out all new $1,455.00 (no brakes, no wheels, no shocks or springs). That will be Massive's kit - M5 wheels, GC.

[Van Westervelt]

Where are you getting your prices? This is the minimal list not including any heat/dust shields etc.

Rear:

Flange (2) 433.00

Front:

Strut tube (2) 964.22
Knuckles (2) 368.28
Attachment bolts (8 ) 5.46
Hubs (2) 703.08
Hub hardware (6) 29.24

Total $2503.28

What discount are you getting?

[VAPORBLADE]

Did you include shipping? I didn't - but I might have left out the knuckles. I assumed those came with 31312225307 & 31312225308 from Bavauto.

All and all I found this thus far:

33412225510 Drive flange (Pelican) (2) = $400.00
31312225307 Strut Housing L (BAV) = $479.00
31312225308 Strut Housing R (Bav) = $479.00
31212225362 Wheel Bearing ft (Bav)(2)= $568.00
Odds and ends for nuts & Bolts = $100.00


$2026.00

Yeah, the knuckles are seperate. they have their own part number too! Weird! :grin:
All those that I listed were OEM dealer base prices. However, dealers do vary. Also, CCA membership would save you another $250 on all that and no shipping through the dealer unless you overnight it.

[VAPORBLADE]

Man, that is good to know! I am glad I found that out before I bought everything. LOL!

I would have opened all the boxes and been like...what the?! lol!

I am sign up for bmw cca too while I am at it.
