Rear discs, pads and handbrake shoes need replacing.

Other than that, she seems pretty solid.

Yeah Birds are at the other end of the spectrum, spent alot of time talking to them when I was looking for my 335i. Very good people, albeit pricey.

Re the wiring loom, that seems very steep although I'm speaking from no knowledge but I have taken virtually every out of the boot area and it shouldn't be that hard a job I would have thought to plug in new loom.

Got some trim sprayed up in Gloss Black. Looks good with the Lemon Dakota.

A few pics since putting in some Eibach Pro springs and now set of 313s in Black Chrome. Both done recently so car hasn't settled, in fact the car hasn't moved since I put the wheels on last night so is sitting a bit funny in that shot

Car looks great, but you might need to learn how to park it a bit nearer the kerb

Haha. New wheel syndrome lol

I had that, but I had to get over it because in my street, if you don't park close to kerb, you're gonna get hit by someone who can't judge distance

Springs starting to settle again.
