A little late but...on mine, I pulled the rear proportioning valve and tied the rears directly in. It's still doesn't have enough rear bias, but it's a step in the right direction.

I resent that. The proper term that the Germans would say is it is a high perforance full size sedan.
Idk how it started between Casey and myself.

So after the auction ended July 18th.....it took until August 27th to get them. Huge amount of drama, not worth talking about, I hope I don't have to deal with that kind of ebay transaction again!
Here they are, 3-piece speedlines 18x8.5 and 10.5 et20... I hope they fit well, they probably won't...oh well
More on fitment later, I'm flying out to Iowa tomorrow morning for about a month, hopefully back in time to drive to H20.
staggered haters.. keep on hatin' im lovin' it

mmm, speedlines
chrome.... not so much. paint the centers and have the lips diamond machined and anodized clear.... then you'll be in bidness and won't change wheels again

you got that right, they need to be refinished!! just trying to decide how im going to do it....maybe pearl centers? I've never really been a fan of color match wheels, but with white it's different for some reason....open to suggestions besides black 8)

hmmm, i wonder what a powdercoated gold would look... not a real flaky/shiny gold, but a sorta matte finish.... like a BBS LM race wheel.

Do you still have the wheels from the very first photo on this thread. The M3 CSL type ?
I'm interested if you're selling them.

So I decided to risk it and see what these cheap manifolds were all about. At the very least it'll be a good jig i hope. We'll see how long it lasts.
The rest of the pics can be seen here:
