    Bought 12mm H&R spacers to hopefully fit with no rubbing -- H&R Sport springs, 135s, 225 front, 255 rear. Way too tucked in right now. Pics and full update sometime in the next few days. Recently had the entire rear suspension/bushings redone, underbody surface rust removal/treatment/coating done. Love the new springs plus TMS sways plus Koni yellows.

    Next up -- have to get the body rust dealt with (typical E46 spot(s). 172k miles.

    Well,the stealership didn’t corner balance my car, so it was well-aligned but the rear tires disappear behind the fender lip, while the fronts had 25-30 mm of space between tire and rim at Öhlins recommended starting heights. Since I have a flat summer tire in my square setup, I switched to my 17” all-seasons for this week—and lowered the fronts by the maximum I could (about 21 mm). The effect on alignment/drive feel was minimal. Next I’ll drop the rear struts and dial in a little more spring preload to even out tire clearance and eliminate the nose-up stance the car has now. I’ll also call Vorshlag—I’m not convinced I have the right spring length in back, given the ride height discrepancy. Otherwise the setup feels really sweet; I haven’t experienced this supple a ride in several years.

    Next moves:

    1) Install alarm horn.
    2) Get alarm and folding mirrors flashed, along with a few other minor tweaks.
    3) New summer tires.
    4) Put in the bespoke SSK that’s been sitting in my garage.
    5) Install new fuel filter, plugs, check injectors—when I mash the accelerator, I get intermittent hesitation combined with a ‘shoosh’-ing sound—guessing the motor’s briefly fuel-starved. Gradual acceleration works without such symptoms.
    6) Install new dead pedal (mine just cracked), reinstall trunk trim and Stealthboxes.
    7) While I’m working in Chicago, visit the Werkshop (sp?) and discuss rust mitigation, paint restoration, door card refurb, possible rear LSD in 2.93, installing CMP subframe reinforcements, etc.
    8) Avin Avant—maybe.
    9) Replace RTABs.
    10) Heated seats—every RN should have these!
    11) Before all of this, go out drinking with some of my nurse girlfriends tomorrow night (I’ll be the sober one).

    Nice list. I'm thinking of an Avin too.

    @zhpnsnv Like those H&Rs! Hope all is well!

    As for mine, not directly TO my BMW but FOR my BMW. Hieu and I installed the lift he sold me in my driveway. Pictured is one of the family cars (I wasn't going to test it out on MY car, lol).

    Awesome!! That's a game changer for DIY. What do you have planned for your first on-lift project?
