Quick Update on my Coupe
Just wanted to share how happy I am with my Coupe.
I've overhauled the suspension with Bilstein B4/Eibach's, changed discs and pads (EBC Yellow stuff), had some new rims from BM Autosport and had a paint correction and ceramic coating.
Its looking and driving spot on

It looks lovely, but so does 4 Series hiding in the background.
Now all you need to do is enjoy it.

Just taken delivery of the same wheels I think … 18” BMautosport reps ? Cracking quality for the money . I used spacers just to get the perfect fitment .

Went 5mm up front and 12mm rear . The rear wheels have a lovely concave on them , but to my eyes were lost in the arch’s a bit . Makes a huge difference

Don’t have any links , as I have way too many bolts and spacers from the years of messing aboutBMW_ADAM wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 7:11 amlove it mate, looks really good. Can you post a link of the ones you used please. Do the rears rub at all?Bodyboarder wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 6:57 am

But the rears are 12mm ones precision and the front a universal 5mm one … There’s enough meat left of the hub to still be able to mount the wheel correctly and obviously using longer bolts to suit . Really is worth the effort though . Makes a world of visual difference. No rubbing on the rear
