i would really like some advice on what sort of kit to put on my car.The thing is its a standard 320i shell which im having a 2.5i lump put into it.I want to make the car look more sporty and aggresive over the standard se look it has now. I do really like the m3 arches and bumpers but didnt think it was possible to add them to my model car.I would really like some views on this thanks . |

m3 arches are expensive to get hold of buddy and can prove a very expensive body mod. The m-tech 2 kit will more than make you happy. |

The kits are reasonably hard to get hold of although i have seen a few for sale as of late. If you have a 2 door expect to pay in access of £400 :cry: Mine cost me £480 delieverd from a fellow planeteer (4-door). Obvioulsy second hand but in very very good condition and primed ready to be sprayed. Apparently the kit new, is £1500 or more from BMW themselfs. Regarding lowering the car you would need to just uprate your springs if you were only lowering lets say 40mm. Anything lower than a 40mm drop like the 60mm and 80mm drop would require you to also buy the matched shockers with a shorter shaft to stop the shockers bottoming out. Im running an H&R cupkit, lowered 60mm up front and 40mm at the back with matched shockers all around with uprated mounts. the kit cost me £290 from german ebay and arrived in a matter of days. It handles brilliantly and i would highly reccomend h&r's to anyone. Great value for money |
