But yeah, it would be a good idea to decide which route you'd like to go for before asking for feedback, especially on such unusual decisions.

The only person in Australia I know of who has slammed a BMW on bags is Suj (sbce90) on his E90 320i. Not sure what brand of bags he went for though.

As for $10k on a set of springs and struts, it sounds like too much for me. There are plenty of tried and true kits out there already and most are significantly cheaper. Check out HPA. They have a huge range of top quality coilovers that can be used for racing at a cheaper price. Moton, AST, JRZ, Etc.

I have Motons on mine and I'm pretty damn happy with the performance and ride.
accuair i'm pretty sure has been done on 1/3 series before, they're currently probably the 'biggest' name in bag systems.

not cheap though. oh boy not cheap.

ED: i stand corrected, looks like you can get a reasonable accuair kit for $2k + management.. <$4k all up. hm.

is one on an E92.
Maybe so, but highly unlikely found in the Aussie 1addicts forum unfortunately.

Curious as to their handling prowess though.
Yeah, also doubt there's too many potential owners of it here haha

Ed: on MCA though... If they actually made their lower series stuff, it would crap all over likely anything in the $2.5k and under bracket.. Pity they said no, 'don't see a market'
