Finally managed to get my eBay special coilovers shipped to me, welded them up and installed.
How are we liking the stance? idk how I feel about the rake

Looking to do anything while waiting for the M54 rebuild and coilovers

So things snowballed really fast and I picked up a clean 330i with an m54b30 and zf5 for $1,600 and found a buyer for the shell for $1,100. Hopefully gonna be transplanting the power train using condor speeds harness, e28goodies engine mounts and oil pan kit. I’m sure there will be more hurdles but any tips will be appreciated

Hi everyone, hope it’s okay to post here. I just found this beautiful Japanese spec 520I with the 2.0 I6 and managed to get the guy down to $9,500 please let me know if that’s fair, car has virtually no rust, even has the original tool kit, 106,000km on the clock. Interior is very clean, the only weird thing I found visually was a wire used instead of the fuse for the low beams. Now my main concerns were no power on full throttle, ac blows hard but no cold air (compressor seems to work fine) and the power steering is a bit hard (I drive a 2014 raptor and it’s harder to turn that that, for reference) I’m not expecting a full diagnosis over reddit but if these are common issues faced and what to look out for. I want to eventually swap in a M54 3.0 so I don’t think the drive line is a huge issue but I’d still want to enjoy it before the swap. Also if you can recommend cool wheel and tire combos, I prefer smaller wheels with wider tires and what affordable suspension kits do you guys recommend.

Sorry for the long post
