Not at all, just cant be arsed. Will wait till i get eirther 335i or M6 or something proper like a 997 turbo, might be a few decades yet lol.. haha


KIN, spacers look good, but heard there not safe for track work. I enjoy track days so will sacrifice the ''wide boy'' look although i would love some.

Just a sig ? I`m trying to get it as a wallpaer on my phone.



Carlos, don`t beleive everything you read (it was only 1 person on EvoT who made the comment about spacers).

Anyone running KW3`s low, has to use spacers to clear the strut. Anyone with a BBK (except AP`s) on a CSL will be using them to clear the calliper. In fact Thorney highly reccomend using them on the front of M3`s/CSL`s to reduce understeer.

It`s like most things, you get what you pay for, if your going to run spacers buy the best you can find, check them occasionally and you`ll be fine.

Too many to list Carl. CSL brakes are the same as reg M3 items, except the discs were 20mm larger. These bigger discs were also fitted to the CS and all Z4M`s , except Peppernick`s old Z4M (which went back with my old discs ).
