The BMW "BBK" upgrade is a great idea!

It went easy according to the shop. I wasn't able to stick around to see it happen.

Glad it's finally done! I now see why the rear springs were giving you trouble. The BC springs are shorter so you don't really need to compress them at all to get them into the rear control arm and the perch.

Wasn't able to get my alignment done today because I installed the front camber plates in the wrong direction. D'oh! The shop recommended new sway bar end links, so I'll pop those on before finally getting the alignment done.

Blasted the intake vavles. It was a fun little job. Also replaced the plugs with standard issue Bosch units. The cold start and idle are stable now; before the cleaning it would hunt for a while. Not sure if there's any more responsiveness since I hadn't driven it in about 6 weeks, but so far so good.

I also had the gauge cluster updated with new LEDs. No more orange glow, and I love the clean M-ified look.
