Thanks

Good idea.
But in the meantime if anyone can shed some light before I put my reading specs, house coat, pipe and slippers on and have a study tonight would be helpful as cars on ramp and Bmw ain't got none till Tuesday maybe Monday.
Thanks

As far as I can see m tech springs are the same no matter what m tech you have. 316-325 are the same.

Cabby springs and two door springs are different. Sit down before you ask for a price from the dealer for motorsport cabby springs. I have Eibach cabby springs on my cab and although the ride is good and handling improved, I can't get a 10cm trolley jack under it at the front. For the difference in price, I'll live with that.

Motorsport springs would be my recommendation if you don't mind the price. Eibach the best mix of lowering and handling/ride quality and of course, price.

And realoem is your friend, get used to using it, it's very straightforward and useful for seeing what parts are NLA.

Thanks for advice I think I'll get the Bmw ones there not to much more than after markets I was looking at.

I do have a go at oem but sometimes it's good to hear it from someone who's already worked it out, I'm a worrier and a bit ocd so I'd be constantly paranoid that I was driving with the wrong parts and I never got anything right at school.
I was more practical than theory

I forgot to say I stuck the gearbox in the next morning.
I gave it a run for about an hour then change fluid and filter then went on a 100 mile journey and all was well.
I suppose that's my guarantee over done with now. Lol.
Any way thanks mate it got me top gear at last.

Marvellous. Would you mind leaving me feedback on here - it's been a while since I sold anything and I think there's going to be more of it happening.
