Hey guys..

Picked up my first BMW just just under 2 weeks ago..05 120i FSH with 95 000km got it for a good deal and loving life as having it for a dailey drive!

Picked the car up on friday the 12th.. stock as they come. Has some minor hail damage and the front bumper will need a respray to be done soon.

Drove the car back from JHB to PE the sunday no problems..

monday it all started.. I cnt leave a car stock :rollsmile:

This is what it looked like:

and then.. tuesday I pulled out a set of Eibach Pro kit springs from the store room the joys of having stock at your finger tips, didnt want to go to low. Ride is perfect and car handles like a dream.

Next on the list is pull the dents, get some tins and waiting on some carbon fiber stock to arrive and possible laminex.

The ride to me feels better than with the stock wheels.. maybe its todo with these not beeing runflats so poped a few tins of tyre weld in the boot.

Its a Eibach Pro kit - 30mm F and 25mm R, if you want pricing drop me a PM im a Eibach agent.
