Debadged my 850>>>>>>>>>
Use Dental Floss, run it behind the badge and drag it up and down in a sawing motion from one end to the other
Dab some WD 40 on a clean cloth and wipe of excess glue.
Take some polish and buff it up
Looks great - understated ...and keeps people guessing
Looks like a great deal at 20K pounds>>>>>>
Beautiful Car....if I was in the UK Id be snapping it up mate!.
With your ACSchnitzer kit how mamy cms front end clearance do you have ?
I have Bilsteins and stock springs but want to lower the car....
H&R seemingly lower it too much - how much will the Schnitzer springs lower my 850i?
Can you help me find a set in the uk?
Cheers Terence

Theo - Terry
Can you explain in layman's terms ...
What will happen if i add these ..Terry is saying dont cut as the car already looks low.
What do you both reckon....no lowering - no camber plates required right
Paranoia
Terry
Its just 2 x 8s have had blow outs in month here -one was fatal and the car was totalled ....so we are a bit paranoid about high speed 110 kmph limits in HK !! LOL Blowouts ...
the tire rack guy Gill recommends Bridgestone SO3 or Potenza's
Yea see what you mean
terry Yes I see what youre saying - will leave it alone .
Tires
Any thoughts on the Dunlop or other Run On Flat tyres?the add says BMW are equipping their new models ..
"You can continue to Run for 80 Kms @ 80 KPH " in the event of a Flat
Varied drop
Terry (aka Obi Wan -- )
Thanks mate- could I lower the rear say 25 mm and the front 15mm for example?
Thanks for the link on the camber....
Cheers
im getting tire wear on my front drivers side tire outside rim.
Before this I did whack the curb about a month ago on the passenger side at 15-20mph enough to damage the rim..with a 1cm bite in the rim.
I am assuming this has changed the alignment of the front wheels and has caused the wear.
I am now considering changing the springs to H&R to lower the car 20mm,
or simply cut the springs...
please see my album for the actual height.
Any suggestions as to whether I would need K Macs and where to get them.
Questions:
1.Has anyone succesfully cut springs and how much would you suggest I cut off (see album scans)
2.What tires would you recommend for tropical use - city twisty roads with lots of potoles and irregular surfaces I have 18inch Rims BBS RS11.
What is the best camber scanner to use?
3. How many miles do you usually get off one set of tires
4, Has anyone tried the new Dunlop RUN ON FLAT tyres any feedback.?
Cheers
Rear end bushings ...
Hi mate
Where did you get all the bushings for the rear end. How many did you change, what about your front end control arms, I had my brake Master Cylinder go too. leaking seals ...might be the tropics and all the hills here.
Be good to see you soon.
Cheers Richard
