[Iron Man]

Could you please list the exact parts you've changed (part-by-part) along with where you got them? I would like to price out what you did. I have an M-Sport 128i coming in about a month.

If possible, I would like to keep my stock springs/dampers and maybe just upgrade my bushings and tires (maybe wheels someday). I don't want to lower my car any and just want a well handling DD.

Debating what to do first between a suspension upgrade vs. DISA manifold/tune. Right now I'm leaning towards suspension.

They shouldn't cost you more than $235 for the whole rear set of OE M3 bushings.

I did the M3 set through ECS.

I rotate between there, www.GetBMWParts.com, and www.TomkinsonBMWParts.com to get a base price.

Local dealer is always cheaper though.
