BMW found a snapped rear spring when it was in for its service......wanted £400 to replace rear 2.
Rang about, found eibachs for £170 - wanted to fit them myself
looked on ebay....£156, good stuff
looked on German ebay...........£112 DELIVERED! ace
45mm front/25rear BUT as rear spring had snapped it was already about 20mm lower on rear in photos.....
before.......

after (sat at 20mm rear 35 on front as springs are fresh)



i would HIGHLY recomend these springs to anyone - amazing difference
also got sport rear lip spoiler in post from Germany and a few other bits
drives sooooooo much nicer after the service too
lets go topless

If the new M3 comes in Phoenix Yellow with the Kiwi nappa that will be my choice... its a bit marmite but personally i wouldnt contemplate having an E46 M3 in ANY other colour combo

Very keen on the new M3 after reading the first look in Evo. Might mean I could afford an E46 M3 next year

U can get white M3s but only on the continent...
To be honest tho, with all white cars... they rarely look half as good in real life... such a solid colour :S
