    General consensus on the E90 forums is the N52 is pretty much bullet proof, just general maintenance and some oil seal issues with valve cover and oil filter housing.

    Scheduled a PPI at Prestige for this afternoon - on a $10k purchase I figured it's worth the money.

          I bought a car. It's nice. Has lots of buttons that I don't know what they do. I did figure out how one on the floor works. I named it my "smile" button.

                  It was nice of the dealer not to mention they only had 1 key fob until I was literally walking out the door.

                      I'm assuming they're a dealer only item? I'm sure they're giving them away...

                      I'm in the same boat... Zimbrick told me $250.

                            Coils for sure, the shocks will be worn soon anyways.

                              Cost + Ease of use = springs

                              A: It's a daily.

                              B: It's a nice car - so it'd need nice coils (see "A")

                              😄 It's a daily.

                              😧 Rimz and tires are gonna be $$$

                              E: It's a daily.

                                I'll always wanna be lower if I do coils... And my wife will surely be driving this occasionally so approach/depart angles will be completely disregarded by her.

                                Bilsteins, springs, and wheels. DUN.

                                        Hey Collin I pm'ed you but you haven't read it yet. Wanted some more pics if your wheel and tire setup on your e30. Mainly from the rear so I can see how wide the 205's look from the back. Trying to decide if I want to run the 205/40 or go 215/40. Do you think the 40 series will be tall enough to fill my wheel well? I lowered it but i'm pretty sure its not as low as your car. I put my phone number in the pm I sent you so you can text me some pics of your setup. Thanks
