Re: Bilstein Dampers / Eibach Springs For E46 B3

Car looks great. If that's on the OEM springs, I think the ride height looks spot on. It's up to you if you decide to go on lowering springs. Personally, I've stuck with the OEM springs. With all the speed humps around these days, I daren't go any lower. I like the exhaust and sump exactly where the...

Re: Bilstein Dampers / Eibach Springs For E46 B3

IMG_20240501_103201.jpg It seems a bit of a minefield this subject. I do believe I saw a post on here recently stating that the OEM Shock Absorbers are currently NLA or not CURRENTLY available with no league time. With regards to the OEM springs, they are still available. I had the fronts done at t...

Re: Alpina Insurance

Morning All I've just renewed my policy for another year. I've gone through Howden's again (previously A-Plan). I'm actually insured with Highways Insurance through Howden's. Last year I paid £361. This year, £463. To be honest, I'm quite happy with that considering some of the horror quotes I've se...

Re: Pirelli P-Zero v Michelin p4s

Just had a set of PS5's on the rear. £396 all in. I'll see how they feel compared to the P-Zero's.

Re: Pirelli P-Zero v Michelin p4s

I've been running P Zero's on mine now for a few years and really liked them. I've recently been trying to source new ones for the rear and experienced difficulty. In the end i e mailed Pirelli UK and they have told me that the P Zero has been discontinued :( :( . I'm now looking at Michelin PS5's. ...

Re: Parts delays

Alex I had the front springs replaced on mine last year. I recall waiting around 4 months for the springs to arrive Germany. I also ordered a Decal for my front bumper, 3 months. I thought i saw another post on here recently that E46 Shock absorbers were not available and Alpina were liaising with t...
