      I would definitely believe it's the CSB.  Mine was making HORRENDOUS noise before I replaced it to the point that I thought my diff was gone, my clutch was exploding, my drive shaft was falling out, my wheels were gonna fall off, etc.  

      Turns out replacing the guibo and CSB fixed it all.  I had a severe clunk when taking off from a stop, banging/ clunking on decel around 25 mph - 35 mph and a vibration between 65 mph and 75 mph.

        Monday it is getting fixed. Not enough time to do it myself between life, work, softball, house maintenance and the e30.

          If it sounds like someone is knocking at your trans tunnel when you push the go pedal, its a csb!

                  Got her back!

                  I keep getting a random cylinder 6 misfire so a new coil is waiting to be installed.

                  The rear tires were shot so some new rubber was mounted.  Michelin Pilot Super Sports all around.  255s in rear and 245s are in the front.

                  The tires really make it a whole different beast.

                    Wonder what the cause of this was? New shoes always feel good!

                              no alignment done when the new tires were installed?

                                You had one bad coil? Trust me...replace all 6. If one goes bad...the other 5 will go soon after.

                                    #6 misfire keeps on popping up about every 500 miles on the check engine light.  I need to do plugs next.

                                      This is after replacing the coil?  Did you replace the boot as well? 

                                      Also what on earth are you doing on that exhaust mount?

                                        I got the coil from BMW so I think the boot came on it.

                                        The exhaust system was tweaked a bit from the headers.  A lot of pressure is put on that one mount so they break due to me not getting the muffler tweaked the opposite way.  This is on my to do list now because the muffler is cracking to due the pressure.

                                        Moral of the story is spend the $$$ on the Super Sprint headers from the get go.
