Have been waiting for this thread to see what's the maintenance cost like compare to other models

Hope the moderator will make this thread "Sticky" so others can start contributing and establish the maintenance cost database like the E46 thread. Very useful!

Oil leak? looks like a common high performance engine trade off. And I do believe some trashing from the owner involved la... Looks like u really drive her!

And hope not too many non-sense thread like my one tainting the thread from its main purpose.. moderator can remove my posting if he/she wishes..

Thought i would just update. My OEM shocks seem to be having trouble. All those bumps on the way to work have caused the front pessenger side to give way....

Anyone care to recommend a new set, or wants to let go pre-owned ?

get Koni / KW / BIlstien

Hi Bimmer910, you still on RFT? The tyre wall of RFT is 3 times thicker than normal tyres, so its 3 times harder, absorber kong 3 times faster, the same goes with bushes and bearings etc..

How do u find the OEM absorber? You looking for stiffer absorber?

 

[David Yong]

Bimmer910, I would recommend you Koni FSD. Pair that with Eibach Pro-Kit springs and your car will look wonderful. If you want stock absorbers, maybe you want to consider mine as I may want to change mine to Koni FSD soon. But I dunno what price to sell mine

Bro astro,

I dont think the tyres are the reason by absorbers are having trouble. Mostly its just bad road conditions. Anyhoot, im glad they lasted this long....

David how many kms does your car have on it ? Absorbers with less than 10k might be ok for me....

I'm thinking of keeping my ride stock standard.

My hartge replica add on lip is available. Its already painted silver hehe. You want to add some glam to your ride ? :top:
