Cough... cough... I've been missing.

[BIFCAIDS]

It's been so long, some of you will be grateful some of you might have missed me being an arsehole lol.

So few months ago I splashed some cash on some Weitec Coilovers for my woman (still cool to call your car a woman right?), anyway managed to get them fitted this weekend complete with new BMW top mounts and the cars booked in for 4 wheel alinement on Friday. I ordered some 12mm spacers for the rear which should fingers crossed come on Wednesday from CMWheels and I'll get them fitted just in time for dare I say it Modified Live at Oulton Park this coming weekend.

Anyway as for the pictures I just got the car cleaned up quick then headed to a local-ish industrial estate on Sunday and took a few quick snaps, the suspension is obviously still settling.

I wish, Carpet sales I'm afraid.

 

[leeds_182]

I need a job selling carpet!

 

[RDH]

Proper car. I love that.

 

[Rubicon_]

LCI rears would finish that off nicely!

 

[Gavin.]

Jealous, looking at BM's myself at the minute. Lovely looking motor Mike.

 

[Lawro]

[Eddie.]

Love it.

Cracking photos too.

 

[Wayne-G]

This is basically exactly what i want, i hate you :rasp: Makes me want one even more now! Looks seriously nice..

 

[Gally]

Doesn't work for me Mike. Just feels generic.

Why the change to something so "sterile"?

 

[Paul.]

pretty sure I liked this car on instagram. im paulbryce7 on there. Love it. Classy!

 

[tomp2000]

Looks lovely, sits very nicely

 

[Winston]

[Martin.]

Lovely and the best colour. Is that le mans blue? Looks identical to mine.

 

[Lal B3N]

I want to like it, but it just does nothing for me.

Looks clean enough though.

 

[SOHROB]

Looks spot on, if you need genuine parts drop me a message i work for BMW.

Your message inbox is full mate. Could you send me your number, wouldn't mind asking a few things if you didn't mind.

​Sorry to Hi-jack the thread.

 

[_Tom]

Looks smart. Not massively lower than a set of Eibachs. But then i bet it handles better.

 

[Rob]

I only discovered yesterday that they make a 335 folding hardtop. I'm sorted for my next motor.

[philmots]

Looks good mate.

 

[Herr Flick]

Didn't know they came on 16s. They look tiny. Get some bigger wheels and it would look awesome. (Obviously in my opinion)

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Thanks for the comments guys, Tom its a tad lower but at least I can play with the height etc. I did look at cup kits but id rather have coilovers could say they are a tad overkill but I suppose its my money at the end of the day. The rides actually less harsh but firmer if that makes any sense, it corners really flat now so Im looking forward to it being set up properly at tweaks on Friday. Thing is I wanted something quick but a great cruiser so Im happy.

Not sure if SRS or just poor troll?

 

[Herr Flick]

Very serious. They look too small. (In 2 of the photos)

before you have a winge, it is my opinion and I'm not saying it looks s**t.

Might regret this

Not at work today, lets hope im not bombarded with emails

Mate have you actually driven the E93?

I don't know how much you like cars but if you do you'll detest every back road moment in one. The chassis is possibly one of the most awful Ive ever driven. That said you are a BMW owner and already have a soft top.

not forgetting the extra weight.

 

[SOHROB]

I would have to agree with toby, the 1 series cab/z4 cope better with the roof chop.

 

[Scrooge]

The Z4 is leagues above the usual 3 series softops handling wise, never driven and E93 convertible but i'm willing to bet is even worse than the older 3 series.

 

[Cliotoby]

Imagine going round a corner and feeling the car twist. i s**t you not its like the thing is made from rubber.

E90 is what you want for handling. E92 not far behind it.

 

[Rob]

I'd gladly have a 1 if it wasn't a soft top, just don't like the look of it. Folding hard top seems best of both worlds, but maybe not then.
