A little intro about me;- I drive a 1996 E36 318i and been using my UDM for the past 6 years- Car is stock and recently resprayed and added AC bumpers/skirts/tailpipes/M3 Steering- Running on standard shocks and 17" rims with Potenza (Adrenalin)- Been through ups and downs with my UDM and frankly, the money that I have put in to keep my UDM on the road does not justify the current resale value but the thrill and experience has been rewarding!As the car is 12 years old and clocking 280K mileage, I am intending to;1) overhaul my engine as its burning engine oil. Dont see black smoke coming out of my tailpipes but the oil level dipps over time. Is there a diff in top-overhaul and total overhaul? How about the cost? 2) to deviate a bit, I also intend to change my shocks from standard Boge to Blistein/Eibach. Been reading about B6 and B8 with Eibach Pro-sport. Which would be suitable if I intend to lower it slightly (and I live in a condo so ramps are not really friendly to my UDM) and make my ride firm but not too hard!</blockquote>
