Not sure how many people actually read this, thread but anyways here is an update. The last two weeks i have been at it trying to prepare my car. Suspension is in still needs a wheel alignment badly. Wheel's are done just need to order some M Badges. Still yet to detail the damn thing but im getting there.

Out came the old M-Sport stuff-

Compare new to old front shocks-

Front springs-

Rear shocks-

Rear Springs-


The B1 Sports brings don't actually lower the ride height. Even though the front spring is 50mm shorter it hasn't lowered it. As i want to go lower i'll be looking towards the H&R springs in the future.

Now onto the wheels. I forgot silly enough to take before photos but they were horrible worse then the rears. Gutter rash right around and peeling paint.

After sanding identifying more imperfections-

Repaired Lips-


After high fill primer normal primer-


Finished result-



Then i got thinking when i decide to change to non RFT ill need a jack for long trips. I picked up a mini jack off an uncle who was clearing the garage out and thanks to sharkatron also bought the BMS jack pad.

Resulted in making this-


After all the effort of drilling to secure the jack pad i forgot one thing. Will it even fit under the car Answer was no So i got the grinder out !

Resulted in-


Still just a tad to high if someone lifts just under the arch it works but had enough for tonight.

How the jack pads mounted-


Hopefully move onto detailing next and then looking to try squeeze some performance out of it (Headers,Cat delete,resonator delete,BMW performance exhaust list goes on)

Also got my windows tinted by Savet very pleased with the service and cost haven't bothered with photos.

Whats left on the goals list:
-Major Detail
-CDV delete
-Wheel Alignment.
-Realign Front & Rear bumpers
