Time for solid bushings.

As you can guess, its a lengthy and an in depth process.

GTS exhaust removed.



Exhaust, X-pip, brakes and subframe removed.



Here are all the rubber bushings removed. Notice the diff bolt bushing is actually made of foam. No wonder a lot of diff bolts fail. Removing these bushings the correct way is a very tricky process and requires some specialized tools.



Solid subframe bushings installed.





Differential bushings installed



All ready to go back into the car!





And finally going back in!

Alignment at MRF Engineering in Lake Forest, CA.

Doesn't she look great sitting on the lift?

I think I did a decent job at capturing the color. In sunlight, Signal looks much deeper while under cloudy skys it can look dark.

I had initially setup the car with a lot of camber and a lot of "low". MRF adjusted my settings to a better ride height and a much more performance oriented camber setting.

I love how the car turned out after the alignment! The car feels great and best of all, it does not rub! Here she is all dialed in and ready to go!

I had been looking for a suitable replacement shift knob for a while. My search took me to TWM Performance and their unique approach to a solution for BMWs. They provide a threaded adapter for the BMW shift lever that is secured with three set screws. Then the shift knob can be torqued down onto the threads of the adapter. The result is a very secure knob. I chose TWMs competition series knob and I am very happy with the product.

The packaging inside is very nice. The threaded adapter is on the left
