I'm so glad I live in the mountains. I've been enjoying it for a whole 3 days now. My springs are about the same size as yours. I noticed my car took a day or two to settle, did yours do the same? | | | 02-15-2006, 02:51 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Long Beach area Posts: 1,189 | Quote: Originally Posted by AutoM3otives H&R Sports. | Correct!

I was looking at a few 190es before figureing out that my dad had lied to me about all BMWs being unisureable for a new driver. I wanted a manual 190e 16v but could only find one in cali. That is the car that really got me into euros so its one of my favorites. There is a 190e 2.3 on my route to school with had made straight pipes on it. Ouch. __________________ "Drive Fast and Take Chances" | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
