I re-read your post (nice work, BTW) but couldn't find your suspension setup.  Your stance is perfect...usually springs & struts are difficult to set up that perfectly.  From the pictures it looks like Sachs OEM shocks, but I have no idea on the other parts.

What strut/spring combo are you using?
'08 Karmesinrot 128i 6MT
'86 Zinnoberrot 635CSi (M30B32/G265/3.46 torsen LSD)

Sold: '97 Montrealblau 318iS, '91 Brilliantrot 318i, '91 Brilliantrot 318iS

The springs and dampers are from Eibach. The car is 40/30 lowered.
I hope it answers your question? If not, feel free to ask again.

First I would like to get some race seats.
Maybe roll bars too.
The engine got alot of km's on the clock now, around 270.000km.
Not sure what happens if I would install a turbocharger.

Sooner or later Im going to buy an M3 E30, meaning I dont feel to put much more money into the M42 engine.

I follow your thread since the beginning, Bl0mgren.
How is it like with a turbo installed on the M42?
How much faster does it actually make the car?

Is it sorta a big difference? And how much did the built cost to you.

I hope you will answer my questions.
Thanks,

Phil

Hey I love what you've done to your car.  If you don't mind me asking, of what make are your side skirts?
Thank you

Hi goober.
The sideskirts are from the E30 Touring, original BMW.
They fit perfectly, to any 2 door E30.
