I love what you've done to your car. Can you give me a few details of the Bilstein coilover set-up, how much it is lowered F&R and what brake set up did you decide to go with?

Great car mate. Looks superb.

Thanks
James

it sounds sweet not to much but loud at the right time if that makes sense .

Bimmerflex is only 2 minutes down the road from me but we could meet at the race course down the road from the venue? It would be good to get the e21's together.
