So, the from M3 arms give you a .75 natural camber. How much further did you camber the front ?

-2.5 degrees on the front with Vorshlag camber plates. I can go further if I wanted but that's where I settled for street duty

Wow! 2.5 is a lot. Do you go canyon carving ?

She fires right up. I'm happy

How much did they charge for that if you don't mind me asking?

I guess that's reasonable considering what it is and the source. I was considering Optima when I replaced mine a little while back but was concerned about capacity since these cars are so finicky with regards to the electrical system. This would be a great light weight alternative especially since I don't need really need big CCA in FL and have a E92.

Honestly 2.5 degrees doesn't feel enough. I run -1.4 on my F80 and it feels more planted in the corners. I probably could go -2.7–2.8 and it would get there.

I do like to take my car to the canyons and it feels fantastic.

AKG aluminum differential bushings in (only installed the 2 front, left the large rear out since I didn't want to drop the subframe again).

Note to others with a E93, if you are going to do subframe bushings, do all the diff bushings at the same time so you don't need to drop the subframe twice.

Going to make up for it by installing the BMS diff lockdown.

2/10 in terms of diff whine. I can barely hear it but it sounds pretty awesome.

Reason I went for aluminum was to match up to the aluminum subframe bushings I have installed. AKG recommends that you use the same material for both the subframe and diff bushings rather than mixing and matching.

I'd rate the upgrade as 11/10. After all of the suspension work I did, the car still didn't track straight even with a perfect alignment under WOT. The diff bushings solved that issue for good and the brace should make things even better.

Handling nirvana achieved.
