Any updates here? I am also busy with a E28 and I'm stuck with what to do for suspension as Bilstein/H&R will be +/- 15k.

My Bias opinion leads to a Bilstein/ H&R combo. Have this setup on my E36 and all I can say is it epic. :thumbs:

Unfortunately no. Recently started working. And although i have some spare change for the car now I don't have time! Classic conundrum

Ive bought hubs for the coil overs, and ordered powerflex bushings from Moranor. And ordered some bits and bobs from BMW waiting from Germany. And getting a zender front spoiler this weekend!

I believe my steering box bracket to the sub frame is cracked. I've changed mostly all the suspension and there is a clunk from lock to lock, steering play and a steering wobble acceleration and deceleration at around 80km/h.

so the suspension will wait until that is fixed.

also drivers door handle broke. so trying to source that.

Still drive it everyday. Some photos yesterday

I know :flyfun: I have everything to go in. But want the car safe first.

Your car has a really good look. Hope to get mine finished soon. Keep us updated.

Right! UPDATES :

Suspension Installed + Powerflex Bushes to help with my shakes at 80km/h :

As suspected my power steering pump bracket was cracked. A common problem on these cars. I ordered a dowel from America that all the guys on mye28 use.

It goes through the bottom of the subframe and into the bracket.

From here you weld it from the bottom

Chewed up Guibo :

More to follow! Bonus pics I took at Crossley and Web on Saturday

Also managed to find a Zender front spoiler as per this picture:
