Absolutely love what you've done with this Raj. I'm always skeptical with people doing M3 wings etc but yours and Az's have turned out amazing!

I'd be well interested in your car if ever you come to sell and I'm in the market! Very tastefully done!

Thanks bro. It's certainly come a long way.

No worries will keep you posted BUT as it stands I don't have any intention to ever sell her LOL.

Been a bit quiet on this thread but have been doing small bits and pieces.

Did a spark plug change and swapped out the boost solenoids to try and resolve a misfire issue.

Cars running well at present.

Been helping to test some fixed camber plates a member of babybmw has been making up.
His initial spec ones gave a decent -1.8 degrees up front but then he made a new design to offer more aggression.

So after getting his prototypes and getting them on I had an alignment done.

I did a test fit last week of just the plate to check for clearance and you can see they are quite aggressive:


So got them back on last night and then took a trip down to Matt@Spires to get the alignment sorted.

As you can see from this pic they are certainly sitting better:




Initial measurements (it flipped between -3 and -3.1 on the left):


Matt got a nice -3 on the fronts now.

Matt doing his thing:


I'm really pleased with the handling now even for road use.

Car handles so well round bends now it's unreal.

Cheers,

Raj.

Cambers at -3 but toe adjusted to help with tyre wear.
As long as the toe is adjusted properly tyre wear shouldn't be too bad.
Will see but it's all about the bends LOL.

Awesome as ever raj, you don't happen to have a good midlands based window tinter, who knows what they are doing and can do a good job on the dot matrix in your contacts do you?

Thank you kindly

Place I used for my side glass was in Telford but know of another in Wolverhampton.

Only thing is I actually replaced the rear screen for a genuine sun protection one from the dealer as most I spoke to said the dot matrix was a pain being so large an area on the E92.

Happy to give you the number if you want them.

Hi

Sorry if i have missed this info but could you tell me what offset the CH-R's were.

Also was the M3 wheel a straight swap with the paddles.

Great looking car btw (up to page 22 right now) with a lurverly spec.

Thanks

Nath

Hi Nath,

Yeah the CH-Rs were: fronts 8.5x19 et32 and rears 9.5x19 et35.

The M3 wheel was indeed a straight swap for me being pre-LCI. It was all just plug and play.

Thanks too for the kind words. Can't believe how many pages this has gone to already lol.
