And has anyone had luck with painting the black sedan bumper trim? I've used blast plastic restorer and the like many times, but I'd love to find something that lasts longer. Mine are super faded against the red.

Re lower grill, regular gloss black spray paint has worked well on mine and has held up well over the years.

Hey everybody, trying to get back in the swing of things here and I have a question... I’m ordering BC coilovers next week but I wanna get all reinforcements out of the way

So far I have the strut & rear shock plates, still need to order the paper gasket that goes above the RSM’s from the picture above... but if I’m buying new coilovers, Do I need to buy Rear Shock Mounts as well? Hoping to go for Bimmerworlds since there lifetime warrantied and serviceable

Just want to be as preventative and as thorough as possible.

I have a full suspension overhaul on the way, Lemforder ZHP Control Arms, Lemforder End Links, OE Z4M Control Arm Bushings, Tie Rods+Boots.

I was hoping to swing some money for SwayBarbarians from UUC but its a lot of money to spend all at once. I need to do RTABS as well, any suggestions there please let me know.

The cap diameter on the BBS CH wheels is 70mm correct? I think this is the model number no? BBS bbs09.24.467 Center Cap

Lost a carbon fiber center cap and need to find a replacement

Hi guys. I finishing up my two tone door cards and just last week my driver rear window regulator went. I figure it would be a good time for it since i was removing the door card anyway. While I'm in there I'm planning on replacing the vapor barrier. But would you guys replace all the vapor barriers in the other doors or just leave them alone? Also is there anything else i should consider doing while im in there?

If I did it again, I would replace the barrier. It's not worth the pond in the carpet when it rains. The carpet is exceptionally absorbent BTW.

I had some left over sound deadening that I used on the doors. Now they feel solid like an E38...well maybe not quite but you get the picture.

Wait, that's how much those things cost? Be very careful taking the old one off. Maybe even get some fresh butyl rope. I think that was my main issue anyway, the barrier didn't fully re-seal after removal.

Butyl tape on eBay before doing a job on this area, they sell it in massive rolls and though it’s expensive it will reseal the area well. My brother bought an E90 sedan that had leaks on everything including the front windshield. A massive roll of this worked well and still had plenty left over
