Can u take it to the other BMW dealer for a PPI?

Bbbbrass · 02-24-2020, 11:24 AM

It’s an independent lot. Normally that would be a dealbreaker for me to not allow a shop to see it, but I’ve tracked down tons of service records and it has all the options I want.

Anyone near CLT/Concord looking for lowering springs? Have BNIB Vogtland springs for E90/2 sitting around. No longer have car, just wanna get rid of them.

sofgwhat · 03-04-2021, 09:16 AM

Anyone in CLT area have or know any who has this or similar equipment for walnut blasting that is willing to loan/rent it for a weekend? I'd even buy it used if they want to get rid of it.

G3 in Raleigh might be your group. They just completed a rear subrame swap on my e91.

Drives so well. Tell them Calvin sent you.

I know it's a long shot here but anyone in the Triangle area have lowered suspension (springs, cup kits, coilovers) on their E9x that I ride in to experience the ride in person. There's too many varying opinions on any lowering suspension and very subjective.

Anyone in Charlotte willing to help me out? I've had VMR wheels on my 335 for almost 9 years now. I have had a vibration at highway speeds for a while and the dealership says it's because of "aftermarket wheels" even though they balance just fine. They said they put OEM wheels on and the vibration went away but they wouldn't show me.

I'm looking for someone with some OEM wheels laying around, or really anything that will fit, let me install the fronts and see if the vibration goes away. The 335 is my beater car now and I'm not keen on buying new wheels just to find out the current ones aren't the problem.

I'm in NW Charlotte in the Coulwood area.

Grecobeemer · 04-28-2024, 08:03 AM

Bought an e90 project (clean title, 135k, little rough) last week, I’m in Charlotte. Wondering if I should have stayed with chassis I know well and/or own/owned (e30/e34/e46/e39). Oh well, hopefully there’s a good group local that can help me.

emr300 · 06-26-2024, 01:30 PM

Any one selling lowering springs in the RDU/Greensboro area in NC? i bought a E91 328i about a month ago and the ride height on the front of the car is bothering me. The front end sits so much higher then the rear end

TitanLH8 · 07-18-2024, 10:18 PM

I’ve read that even with lowering springs, the front will always have a larger gap than the rear due to the extra weight in the back for E91s. I went with coilovers to adjust the front/rear heights so they match.

And coilovers give adjustability for wheel/tire gap and fitment. Which is why I’ll go that route when it’s time.
