Just got my springs and wheels on yesterday and snapped this quick pic. Imported the H&R Touring springs from Germany for the self leveling suspension but I didn't install the rear springs. I used new stock front upper and lower spring pads too. The wheels are AZEV Type E's and I think they go pretty well with the car along with new General Exclaim UHP tires. The Touring is a 92 model with 183k miles.

Very nice, and will probably get a little juicier once the springs settle :D

Can't wait to get my Sachs kit on ... 12 days and counting.

The wheels are 18's. Bought them off Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7991566497&category=43958

Outstanding deal since they cost about $600 each new. I've got 17's on my 94 540i (17x8.5 & 17x10) and was planning on 17's for the touring when these showed up on ebay. Can't believe nobody ran the price up and I didn't expect to get them for this much.

For what I paid for the car it could have been pink and I wouldn't have cared. The respray on the front door and fender was a BIG bargaining chip. The car was from Indiana originally so it has some beginnings of rust in a few spots. It'll get a respray next summer.
