There is a guy who has his chariot booked in to get "bagged"
Tom something is his user name.
Shame actually as his car looks really good in "winter spec"

felt so proud,even tried it with a E30 325i and got put in my place..
Air ride is 99% for show and VERY expensive! although the quality of the drive is meant to be as good as a decent set of coilovers and not alot should go wrong other than a burst bag which isn't too common - but when it goes, you will be stranded!
I was thinking of installing air on one of my previous cars but couldn't justify the £3k price tag that comes with it!

my car was good to go till last week when I had a drive in a bagged bora, I was being a dick really.. bags are a bit of a joke and actually having driven a car with a very similar airbag system to the one I'd have had fitted by Rayvern I would advise against it unless you want a car that doesn't handle particularly well.. me, I'm going to spend the money on a good set of coilovers and work under the bonnet..Dezzy wrote:There is a guy who has his chariot booked in to get "bagged"

and yes, bags are definitely for show.. I think I'd have ruined a lovely car if I'd have gone ahead with it! (a bit like my juiced mk2 granny god rest her soul) but its horses for courses..expect bugger all change from 3k to have it supplied and fitted by Ray..

I had considered this for my e32, wouldn't do it to the e30 though, as it's a real drivers car. The e32 is like a lounge on wheels

air bags = a helluva lot of money spent to 'park up' and look cool. id rather go for a tidy set of coilys and save myself a bag to spend on something else and know that the coilys ive just bought at half the price or more will give an awesome drive and last yonks.

Aren't there some top end billies with little bags on the front to lift the nose for speed humps etc? That would be ideal for me!
