shaneomac1602 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hey guys, wanted to make my first post here an introduction. My name's Shane, I'm from Racine, but I spend a lot of time over the weekends at my gf's in Milwaukee. I have always loved BMW's, and finally bought my first one this past June. I picked up a 1993 325i, in great shape, rust free. Black on black, with 167xxx miles. I have spent a lot of time (and money) restoring the missing or broken pieces, and making sure the maintenance has been taken care of. Since I bought it I did:Inspection 2 Oil changeNew tie rod endsRebuilt steering rackWater pumpThermostathosesMishimoto aluminum radiatorcoolant flushFan mod deletesoldered comfort relayOutside of maintenance:M3 door molding with motorsport badgesyellow fog lightssmoked cornerssmoked tail lightsDj Auto head lights with angel eyesBlack Vaders and sedan rear seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneomac1602 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Also forgot to mention in a box in my living room, I have all the bushings needed to rebuild the entire rear end of my car. I also have 328is sport sways with new endlinks to install in place of my nonsport sways. Not a big upgrade, but should help tighten things up a little bit. Also in the next day or two I will be ordering new brakes, meyle rotors and hawk hps pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexw Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just a heads up. I have HPS + pads and they are very loud. I don't mind because I live and breath the "because racecar" mentality (which is stupid).... BUT i wouldn't dream about getting them for my daily driver. The HPS might not be as loud...Just food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I had Hawk HPS on the M5, I didnt notice any extreme noise difference between them and the OEM pads :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexw Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Must be the HPS + pads. Have read a bunch of people talking about how loud they are. People look at me funny when I come to a stop lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneomac1602 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yea I had HPS pads on my last car, 05 Subaru Legacy GT, and I liked them a lot. Good feel to them. And for $30 more than oem bmw pads for front and rear, I think I'm going to get those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
