Hey all happy PCA people!
I bought this 320i last Thursday (19th Dec). Checked it out, went down in price and drove it home after about one hour. The car has a very good interior but I don't like the super old Pioneer stereo, maybe gonna change if I find a cheap one. On the exterior there quite a lot surface rust, also on some strange spots like on the middle of the trunk. Otherwise it's quite nice in the paint (Montrealblau), just needs a bit of polish (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif) Plans at the moment: Rims - Check Cheap Coils - Stereo - Rust fixing - Polish - Front indicators, side indicators and taillights - Leather seats if there's some cheap ones - Muffler with two endings - 19th Dec - Some crappy photos just after we got home. (IMG:http://i.imgur.com/H5i0zto.png) (IMG:http://i.imgur.com/GpeoiQZ.png) 24th Dec - Bought some nice Alpina wheels as a Christmas gift for myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif) (IMG:http://i.imgur.com/HZ3xOvZ.jpg) (IMG:http://i.imgur.com/0WOgvVr.jpg) (IMG:http://i.imgur.com/rt0V1Xr.png) Need proper lowering so he look good! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif) I'm not going to update that often unfortunately because I'm only a student (poor) and I'm out of the country 27th Dec to 5th Jan. /Wille This post has been edited by W.

Thx mate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)
With track width you mean less offset/ET? More poke? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif) Naah what it really needs is a shower (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif) |

We'll see how it gets when it's lowered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Then I'll fix the last bits with spacers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

if you want to go lower for little to no cost I would cut a coil out of the springs. Wouldnt go any more than that though. It should drop you about an inch. Did this to my cobalt until I get coilovers. Granted I cut 3 out haha

It depends on if it was taken care of I guess. My friend's has random weird little issues a lot usually with oil, electrical, and lots of suspension problems. Replace all the bushings in the suspension if you ever have the chance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Only use OEM or OEM replicas though unless you're planning on upgrading.

Yeah cutting springs is stupid, I'm going for some cheap coilovers I found (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)

Nice car, pretty good condition. Alpina front lip would look good on it. Dunno, does it fit or not. Rust fixing must be first at to-do list.
About coilovers. Cheapest i've seen is TA-Technik. Box says "Made in Germany" but it's really made in China, so i read few bad reviews and few positive feedbacks. Look for XYZ, it's made in Taiwan, imo it's best money/quality offer. Or made coilevers youself, its not difficult. This post has been edited by Myca: Dec 26 2013, 09:04 AM |

Problem is that I want the real s**t and not fake, so about the Alpina lip... Naah (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif) Too expensive and I'm probably going to snowdrift etc. But yeah it would look good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I found some very cheap coilovers which should be better quality than TA etc. for £185 / $303 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I just sprayed the hell on it with Turtle Wax engine bay cleaning, waited 2 minutes and then washed everything off with water (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Worked really good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif) |
