Just need to lose the awful MV2's now. ​Money money money...

Cheeky, it's quite subtle but I thought i'd try it. They're big in Germany and the US, they're upside down in the pic. The top mounts sit deaper in so shortening the distance overall. I guess in extreme cases it might affect the bump stops but i'm ok i think. Don't get me wrong, kw v3's would...

Little update. I ordered some supersport lowering spring seats and finally got them fitted this weekend. Not a massive difference but I'm happy, especially as I won;t be going the coilover route. Probably dropped the front around 10mm. gave her a good clean too. Before After

Just came back from that, it certainly was wet out there!

Have a read up on those, from what I've read they're quite harsh plus you'd probably want better shocks going lower than the Eibach Sportlines.

Daniel's blue e46 looks spot on. If only they lowered the touring like that.

Is that the auto box? The sportlines don't lower the touring anymore than the pros, quite a few different outcomes accross the variants.

That's too low at the front for pros I would say, you want sportlines or get some lowering top mounts (like i have on order).

Happy days, get fronts too though.

Anything more than 12mm on a drop will rub and you'll need your arches rolling. My touring on Eibach pro springs and 12mm spacers is on the limmit.

Cheers for the comments. I'm finding it hard not to spend money on bits for it, when i should just leave it alone.

Great project this, top effort!

Bit of a small update, the other weekend i tried the 12mm spacers but wasn't keen on them. Probably not being low enough i just couldn't decide. Then with the offside front wheel and spacer fitted there was some loud scraping coming from the back of the brake disc and the metal cover plate...

Small update: After following Jon.G's 330ci thread I got the repair kit for the DISA valve. The old one had seen better days... So in with the new kit All cleaned up, the factory pressed o ring was a b1tch to remove but got it sorted and the new one on. Then this weekend, I needed new...

Good update Jon, will keep an eye on this.

Ah ok. i need to get the kit to get her back to standard (ish). LM's would look nice on that coupe ;)

I've got LED's all over mine from when i bought it. Inside and out, and it looks crapola!

I recommend the Eibach pro spring kit. Had them fitted to my touring and it's a nice mod for the small cost, and a little drop gives it a better look. Plus if you find the car isn't sitting even both sides it's a common issue don't worry. Easily fixed too. Nice cars these after rattling around...

Yes philmots, 6 speed and xenons but i think the angel eyes are aftermarket. Luckily they don't look bad. Turky, i'm in the process of selling the clio. Sadly can't keep it anywhere so it has to go. I've always been old in your eyes!

It's not bad, pretty clean apart from the bonnet which has a bad scratch on it. Looks like someone has tried removing a mark with a knife. I put the 14.5mm pad from xi spec in, sits just right now. Bought her on 84,000 miles.

Finally bit the bullet and got myself a shooting brake. I was lucky to find the spec i wanted too, 330i manual with leather. Couple of pics, first was to get the front arm bushes changed as they were shot and fit the eibach pro springs. Along with 2 new front tyres the drive is so much better...

I use a normally price samsung screen for CAD/3d/artworking via display>hdmi. I love apple but spending that on a screen is crazy, you might aswell invest that cost into a new machine. Don't use a TV for CAD, it will be terrible and laggy.

The Windsor one is good, been here for a while now.

One from the weekend

Is anyone running these together? I've read a lot about it not running properly, but CS3/4 is! I'm holding off Mountian Lion purely because of CS5, still on Snow Leopard.

Or do it the old school way and draw a circle at the size you want use as a guide. Obviously it won't be accurate through curves but still another process.

Will be this. For the record, my gen4 ipod charger charges my iphone a lot quicker than the standard charger.
