this subject has been brought up before, (suprised no one else has posted about it being a repost as usual) but the general consensus was that all ///M badges were dealer fit either as standard or at customer request depending on the dealer, i don't think any came with it from the factory as far as...

I was under the impression that they were installed
at the factory not after the fact.

What was the factory placement?

I don't want to even think about how much I spent, I'll end up shooting myself in the head

Black car is on KW coilovers, Red is on KW/Bilstein, M3 is on H&R race, the red one is mine, the other belong to members of e30tech.com

The rear arches will need to be rolled flat which is not a big deal is this an expensive job, or can i do it myself?? cheers for the help You should be fine with no spacers in the rear, rolling is a simple procedure if you have a fender roller, most bodyshops can do it, I was charged $40usd per arc...

You need 16x9 et15 with at least a 5mm spacer in the front just to clear the strut housings, the rears go right on but you may want to run a 10mm spacer to even out the track, tires should be 215/40/16. The rear arches will need to be rolled flat which is not a big deal and the front can be left unt...

nice one, cheers fella thats over $20 cheaper than ones I'd found

The black/red/gold one is pretty nice too, I might rock that one for a bit,
glad I could help and thanks for all the comments.

Badge is from detailhaus.com and the springs are KW 60/40's.

Recently Zaino'd the paint, refinished front and rear valences and had the painter clearcoat my tails. I didn't have my good cam or tripod. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/egktwo/kama351-R1-006-1A-0001.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/egktwo/kama351-R1-008-2A_1.jpg http://img.photob...

I actually like that

I'm pretty sure it's technoviolet(sp?)

Don't get me wrong, this is my daily driver, I drive this thing in the winter
as well, I take out the drop hats and throw on the bottlecaps/snow tires.

Well my front lip is less than 2" off the ground and forget about the oil
pan, the roads are well maintained where I live so I'm lucky, if I have to go anywhere far I use the wifey's SUV.

I'd agree about the clay-barring but it's certainly worth doing. I've been using the Meguiars 3-step Crystal with good results. The Zaino is supposed to be even better? Here's my 635 after using all 3 steps for Gaydon last year. I hadn't used a clay bar back then but I'm all for them now. Apart fro...

any rubbing issues or had arch mods?

I rub only backing out of driveways on the left rear arch, I rolled the
fender lips flat in the rear as wel, I took out the rear spacers to tuck them in some and now I have zero rubbing.

Yes, you must take care of any paint issues before using zaino.

Clay barring is not difficult just time consuming.

Tinnie you need to stop everything, go outside and put those
wheels on. To pull off stretched tires and wide wheels you need to
slam the car, especially the front, I had to drop mine about 70mm in the front to fill the wheel wells.

No need to use the machine after you clay bar the whole car, you have to
get the paint smooth and free of debris before you apply the polish, after that it just too easy.

One of my favorite colors and wheels, nice cabby.

Wooden baseball bat and a heat gun.

Zaino is the best period. I just did my car before a local show. Clayed, zfx accelerator, 2 coats z5, z6 spray enhance between coats, 2 coats z2, final spray down with z8 grande finale spray seal. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/egktwo/016.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/egktwo/njM...

What would you expect to pay for a set of these with tyres?? Gorgeous!! When im rich.lol.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $2000 USD maybe a bit more for
a fully restored set.

I have these, they lower the front end an additional 10mm, since they
were a bit wider than stock units they rubbed against the strut tower
housings, I grinded the hats down to stock diameter and now I'm good.
These brought my front end down to the perfect height since I'm running such a short tire.
