Just wanted to introduce myself and my E86. Thank you for creating and maintaining this folder.
Used to have a 323ti and now this beauty. I plan to make it perfect and better than new. Has done 140k kilometers and runs well. Just changed front-end with Lemförder ZHP arms and Z4M FCAB, swaybar links and tierods. Quite an improvement. Will do suspension but not sure what to do B4/B6 with standard suspension or B12. Or Koni yellow with M sport springs. Car does not have S704 M sport chassis.
Car has many things done already by previous owner also as preventitive maintenance (must be a freak like me) such as thermostat, waterpump, oil pan gasket, new valve cover etc.
Car is nicely spec’d with Msport leather seats etc.
Apart from that I will do preventative maintenance like changing DISA’s and OFHG plus mickey mouse flange. And belts and pulleys. Also - to have it like new - I will change the gear stick mechanism just because I can. And maybe do Hardy disk, internediate shaft bearing.
I would like the exhaust to have a little bit more sound, but just a little.
Oh, yes. I don’t like the electric steering. I went to Dusseldorf to do the sticky steering bearing replacement without having issues now (eventually it will come). But steering is a bit vague in the middle. Might make the jump and go hydraulic using new original BMW parts.

. Is your car lowered in the front and if so with what suspension parts?
