Project SmurfShark - BMW e24 Build

[XerXes310]

Love the color on some plain polished/ brushed wheels. A clean OEM + look. Awsome car!

Thank you sir!

I'm also building a set of custom face BBS RS that will be on the wilder side so the look will be changing pretty soon.

Very nice, that Race Skids has saved me numerous times. It's super tough and has taken some serious abuse.

Good to know! I couldn't find to many reviews on it so was a little worried when I first bought it. Gotta protect my investment!

Hell yeah man, currently building a set of RS for the e90. Excited! What specs are you gong to run if you don't mind me asking?

Im looking at 18x10 18x11.5 et0 and im not sure what tires to run. Lemme know! looking forward to updates!

Damn that's aggressive!! Is fitting those going to take a lot of fender modification on the e90?

Right now I'm thinking I'll be running 18x9.5 18x11 ~ et0 but that may change once I finish up the suspension.

Right now im looking at shaving and a pretty decent pull to fit the front, the rear I should get away with just some heat and a pull. I need to figure out what tires to run before I do anything.

I am so excited to see this thing progress dude. I should have just bought a project car instead of another set of wheels lol

Me too doode! Progress is slowing down since I discovered some scratches from the buffing job. I don't want to put the trim back on until it gets re-buffed properly.

I'm also waiting on my new top hats from Ireland Engineering to finish up my coilovers.

To anyone looking to do the Honda Coilovers with the black hard plastic top hats, you will need to replace them with some better quality ones!

Woohoo I got my birthday gift from Ireland Engineering!

My new 4" 2.5ID 450lb springs for my coilovers just came in. I thought they were going to look a little beefier then they are but I'm sure Hyperco knows what they are doing.

I currently have 7" springs and my coilovers at its lowest setting and still have about an inch gap which is perfect for daily driving but I just want to be able to drop it to the ground when I feel like it.

Can't wait to get these on!

Haha yeah I was kind of surprised I found one so quick. Didn't know much demand for them for an e24.

[XerXes310]

Installed the rear coilovers and new front springs and am pretty damn happy with the outcome!

The front coilover is set to the halfway point with a 4" springs.



Think I might be getting shorter springs in the rear(currently 7") since the coilovers are set at it's lowest in there rear here.


12mm spacer in the rear and 20mm spacer up front

Cool back story, cars come a long way! Great progress so far.

[XerXes310]

So this might have been one of my least favorite things to do haha so much lock right on every bolt! Putting in the orders for the barrells and lips once I figure out sizes. Any help would be much appreciated!


Restoring the chrome on the tail lights and euro corners.
