The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

kinda torn between those and the bilstein B4... they are $310 shipped for a set. hmmmmZ.

they don't ship to the US, but it looks like i can still buy from them.

that's a good price! how does the -3% discount through ebates work? i'm not seeing it applied in the shopping cart.

You'll need to register for Ebates (link) and use their link to direct you to the AutoAnything website. They give you a portion of their finders fee in the form of a check. I added the Chrome plugin just this week and it lets you just activate the cash back while you're already on the site.

They're doing some crazy 15% back for stuff like travel websites right now, so I'm all up on priceline booking hotels/flights for the rest of the year.

Go for FSD's!

So, I'm starting a new job in Berlin next week and since I'm in the car land, I want to get something fun to drive and to wrench on.

Really considering this machine.

2004, Estoril Blue 330Ci M Club Sport, 6 speed with G-Power supercharger.





Has 125k miles, 3rd owner, eisenmann exhaust, brand new summer tires on original CSL rims, M3 cluster, OEM struts/shocks on lowering springs (seems too low for my taste)... Been on sale for about 3 months now, last posted price was 15.000€ which is around $16.300 and he got no bites. Tried to talk him down over the phone and he says he would take 14k € (15.300 USD).

No doubt a lot of work went into this car (G-Power kit alone is over $3k), but it still seems a bit steep to me. 3 months up and it didn't sell.
What do you guys think?

Should I worry about replacing spring pads when I change things out? I'm just going to buy the ECS "cup kit install kit." It's a $40 difference to get new spring pads, and I'll probably put H&R springs in eventually.

I remember someone posting this exact same car sometime ago and asking if they should buy it...

I did, for the fronts. I didn't bother for the rear as I am still on stock springs and they are separate from the damper. I think it is one of those "might as well" kinda situations...

I remember it last time, too. It's still a sweet ass car, but seems like the owner is pricing it like a house -- $3k of improvements adds $5k to the value. Or are M-sport 330's just hella expensive over there?

I replaced them front and rear simply because like San, I was already in there and why not. That said, original ones from the factory were in okay shape.

Link to the ECS cup kit?

P.S. you need to update your sig pic with the new rimz.
