I don't know what you guys are doing that get low 20 mpg, but I drive my car hard every and just filled up today and mpg average was 29.7. Most I've ever gotten out of a tank was ~380 miles and I only filled up a hair over 13 gallons.

Any chance of buying just a single coil? I purchased a new kit(hadn't been installed) second hand from a member here and one of the coil's mounting points didn't line up with the plate. It was like the two points for the screws had been flipped as they were only off by a couple MM.

Love the progress your car has made, it looks great. Still think an iS lip would do wonders though

Don't be hatin' on the etas stevo, they're actually pretty fun cars, although in more of a DD-ish way.

Oh I'm not hating, I drove one for almost a week when my car was down. I fell in love with their torque, but they've got nothing up top. On the other hand, m42's have nothing down low, but are a blast up top. Definitely a completely different animal.

OP, did teaguer take the suspension off before you picked it up?

sadly i dont think it comes with it.. im hoping the guy changes his mind ill find out tomarrow. compaired to my eta is this going to be just as fun or more fun?

compared to an eta, anything is fun haha. You'll have a blast driving it, everyone rags on how slow they are, when in reality...you just have to know how to drive the car for it to be quick.

16x9 Brock B2's. Hella flush too.

What spacers are you running on your wheels?

My bad, looks kinda similar to the type T's, but Brocks>borbets. Also I'm not running any spacers, et25 oem fitment ftw!

Those wheels are awesome man! How have you done that? (Sandblasting and Powdercoating?)

Are those original 15" BMW-BBS Wheels for the e30 7J wide and et24 ?

They are actually Ronal LS 15x7.5 and they came painted satin black from the factory.

I kinda dont know anymore...I DID want 16x9 cr7's but I cant find them anymore....Im thinking some Ronals or true BBS's maybe used or something.
I am still deciding to be honest.

Praise Jesus you didn't jump on the Sportmax bandwagon. While I'll admit they do look "decent" you pay for what you get.

Nice interior too, very good nic... as for the shifter decision, I also run the Z4 3.0L shifter and while there is no denying it's a notchy unit, it's much better than stock that's for sure... It is slightly annoying when you just want to drive from A to B but when you go on a "drive" it's such a great shifter to have IMHO.

well you definitely can't beat the bang for buck ratio, I got mine for $35 shipped and it took all of 15 minutes to install.

How do you like that lever? I'm trying to decide which lever will give the best feel with a slightly shorter, more accurate throw without being too expensive or extremely difficult to install.

To be honest, I'm actually kinda getting sick of it. After driving cars with a proper SSK(ie-the UUC whatchmacallit)that are short while being smooth and stock feeling, I almost want something else. The lever is a breeze to install, but if I did it again I'd probably go with the z3 2.5 or the M Roadster lever. The z4 3.0 is very notchy, and at times can be an annoyance. But overall, I've gotten used to it and it's definitely an improvement over the stock "truck" lever.

Is that a stock shifter you have?

not in the least, it's the z4 3.0 shift lever.
