The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

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.

I'm a little torn, as some of I don't need but whatever.

I'd just take the time to pick out the individual parts. You can find them in my overly-cited refresh thread (Link). And I agree with Peter, get the Rogue Engineering rear shock mounts.

I believe the rogue mounts come with the reinforcement plates too.

Though that is a pretty cool spring and strut installation guide on that ECS kit page.

All you guys talking about shocks/struts - makes me want to buy Koni yellows. My fronts are original from 2004.

$576 out the door, plus whatever I get back from eBates ($17.28 allegedly), and the $50 Koni MIR. And I use PayPal Credit for all stuff like this, so 6mo. financing. Not that I couldn't just pay it off, but time-value of money formulae say it's best not to. Stupid economics degree, always impacting my thought processes

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?

Yup, it's quite pricey. Cars (at least BMW) are generally more expensive when compared to US standards. Standard facelift 330Ci is anywhere from $6k to 10k, M Club Sport is pretty rare and when it pops up it's always over $11k and with 120-130k miles and more. Even e39 530i M Sport, 5 speed is around $7-8k.

I was hope for cool cheap bimmers.

Not the same car, but cool video for G-Powered e46.

This means replace with Redline D4 ATF, right?

Freedom dollars! They'll be here tomorrow (killer shipping!) but I haven't even ordered my new RSMs yet.
