I used to know a guy who bought an E30 M3, but soon sold it because he hated the way it handled. Another friend bought it, discovered the spring spacers, and kept the car for over 20 years. I also remember seeing someone autocrossing an E30 M3 and t…
LOL ..... this same thing happened to me when i bought my car. i didn't know until i went in for my 1st oil change and my buddy who's a master tech ... goes hey, they forgot to remove the shipping rubbers! idiots!
well, glad you took care of your p…
Dave...Thanks very much. I kind of suspected they might be some knd of shipping device to act like a "bump stop" on top of the shocks. Someone obvously placed two on the left an one on the rght and they were not removed by the dealer when the car un…
They may be large rubber donuts used in shipping if they are inside the coil springs and should have been removed when the car was sold by the dealer
I was under my 2002 S54 Coupe and noted there were ruber "donuts" on the rear springs. I cannot find any part number on them so I am not sure they are factory parts. There are 2 of them on the left and one is markedly cracked. On the right there is…
I think some, but not all, of the 10 hp difference is due to the different way DIN and SAE hp are measured.
Mike...Thanks very much for the Jeggs Link. I would never have thought to look at Jeggs since I usually thinl of them as muscle car or drag race equipment. Now if I can just figure out the best pathway and angles from the wheel well up to the intake…

The late 90's Euro version had the S50 engine which was certainly more powerful than the US versions - claimed 321hbp standard. The main obvious difference seems to have been the intake system. There is little tech info on the S50 engine, and all th…
Gary...very interesting! The S54 obviously already "directs" air from the left front air dam intake in a general fashion towards the airbox. I'll be really interested in how you do the modifications and how it comes out. So Far I have simply settled…
Mark: Interestingly I have been looking everywhere for a cold air intake other than Dinan. What I am doing, I bought a K&N cold air intake direct from K& N that is for the euro based M Coupe, it will need some modification done but we believe it is…
Don...Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. I've had 2 Coupes (an S52 and now and S54) and I certainly have loved both of them! By the way...do you know of anyone (other than Dinan) who makes a colad air intake for the 2002 S54? I have been…
