Haha I need me one of those! Haha the closest I got is 2 good friends of mine who are very mechanically inclined. One is familiar with BMWs of this vintage so he's been a great hand for insight and assistance with BMW ownership

Suspension and Brake Upgrades
KW V3 Syncro Design Works Thrust Arms Brembo GT Front Brake Kit / 4 Pistion 355MM ATE Rebuilt Rear Calipers Rear Brembo Brake Cross Drilled Rotors Rear Brembo Brake Pads Goodridge SS Brake Lines (F&R) H&R Spacers (I believe it's 12MM Front and 15MM Rear) OEM Set Up While the wheel liners were out, I took the opportunity to clean them up Out with the old in with the NEW Syncro Design Works Thrust Arms. Since the OEM Thrust Arms were worn and on the way out I did some quick research to find that these were available, figuring they would improve handling and were about the same price as the OEM I would give these a try. What a great looking piece! Test Fit / No Spacers Test Fit with the spacers Last edited by Detailers Domain; 10-23-2024 at 07:23 PM.. |

Was the Alpina Front lip easy to fit on to the front bumper? I am looking at going for an Alpina-esque appearance and have compiled my list of alpina parts I need and that is one of them.

Have always liked the e38's. The car has presence now. Might be over looked by others but I'd spot it out of the crowd!

with this set up yes with a 4 adults in the car I do rub a bit. reduced the rubbing when we went up a turn or 2 and up to a stiffer setting and it reduced it a lot, under heavy load though I will still get some rubbing but far less.

Awesome build! Thanks for taking the time to document it here. I love that you are restoring the original parts when you can instead of just buying all new.
