btw: I am not thinking about selling it, not in a next few years.. I will sell it only because of my big dream- e46 M3, but I need to decide if to buy it in convertible or coupe version. If I will chose coupe, I will leave my cabby locked in a garage for the next generations :)

16ky se mi nelibi. V budoucnu kola menit asi budu, ale pouze za BBS RS nebo BBS RC, ovsem obe verze sehnat v 17" a ctyrdire je skoro nemoznej ukol.

Where did you get that carpet dye from - do you have a link to a website?

I need to dye my beige carpet from my Cabrio - looks like you got good results!

Cheers,

Mart.

To help you search for stuff, we normally call them "braided lines/hoses" and "vernier pulleys". Nice though!

Of course you'll have to use the WMS lines you got with your kit on the front... 8)
WMS E30 brake kits! (4-pot 280mm & 300mm front / 2-pot 290mm rear)

Lovely looking car mate and looks like some decent work going in to it... how did you restore the leather seats? Started doing mine with some autoglym cream but the results were crap compared to yours...

Cheers

It should be -60/40. But I bought it with these springs already, so I am not 100% sure...
