Quick Update on my Coupe

Post by BMW_ADAM » Wed Apr 03, 2024 8:32 pm

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 👌

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 .

Do you mind itemising approx. costs for the work you had done to give a feel of what these things cost.

Also whats the colour (code)? looks lovely

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 about :oops:

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 :thumbsup:
