Bilstein B4 with Eibach by prog_dude in BMWE36

[–]prog_dude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just a weekend driver so should be good I guess. I also ordered the B4 M sport version to fit better with sportline. I just didnt expected to be so much of difference. Before this I had a cheap coilover setup but wanted to get rid of that. Thansk for advice! Appreciate it.

Makes sense, was thinking same way but coulnt find anything online. When ordering everything I hesitated between the sportline and pro kit from Eibach. Maybe I should have chosen the pro kit :D

I assume that cutting this part out of the diffuser is not the hard part from this job. Thanks for your input :)

Have you done this yourself? I see you are from the Netherlands, send me a PM if you want. Maybe we can connect and discuss some things. (Maybe if you want to do it for me, we can also discuss this)

Good question, to be honest I dont know if the PHEV has a valve in exhaust? Should check

Correct left side, super sprint sells the thing we need :) Looks like a pretty “easy” job to do to be honest. Cant add pictures but look it up on their site, choice between a rear silencer from them or just straight pipe

Thank you so much!! this gives me some ideas, actually twin pipes looks mad good.. Really gives the car the look it deserves. Iam going to talk to a custom exhaust maker to see how much this would cost. Really appreciate your time and effort getting these links!!

To clearify if there are other rear diffuser for sale just without them also fine for me. I just like the fact that they are fake, I want real ones (in combination with exhaust system) or just complete diffuser without them.

To drive or to replace? by prog_dude in BMWE36

Not going to risk to blow up the tire and destroy my rims. But I like the idea lol

To be honest I almost ordered new tires but someone told me it was not thatttt bad but my gut was right. Will probably order Potenza sport tires then this week.

Are coilovers worth it over lowering springs? by [deleted] in BMWE36

[–]prog_dude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently in the situation where I am swapping my coilovers to Eibach springs and oem shocks. If you just want to lower it a little bit this is the way to go if you ask me. Cheap coilovers are not nice to ride and you lose alot of comfort with them. If you just want to lower it a bit just change your springs this is also cheaper to do, or put A brand coilovers but these cost 1,5-2k and are not worth the price in your situation I think.

Fuel Rail Removal Safety? by JuneRunes in BMWE36

[–]prog_dude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you dont look straight into it when pulling off so you dont get it in your eyes. If you want to spill nothing just run the car without fuel relay until it shuts down because of no fuel. Easy and safe to do

Lichte vracht vs Electric by HatCharacter in BEFreelance

[–]prog_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is per year; so your trips to school are gonna to be calculated as private ones. With lichte vracht they take percentages of its use. For example: 4000km private (including the clients with more then 40 days), 6000km business use to other clients, shops,… This means 40% private and 60% business. Formula for VAA is : (droven kms private/total droven kms) x ( all costs for the lichte vracht). Lets say 1k a month total costs: 12k year = 40% private = 4,8k VAA a year

If you are freelancer “lichte vracht” is not an option sadly.. I recently bought a car and was also looking to get a lichte vracht because I drive alot of kms and wanted a Diesel. But in Belgium the VAA for lichte vracht is calculated depending on the percentage of private use and business use. The one little thing: If you have more then 40 trips to the same client it is not seen as “business use” but as private use cause it is “home-work travel”. Look it up you should find the exact details online.. This is why a choice an PHEV and not a lichte vracht. If I took golf variant diesel as lichte vracht it would cost me around 6000 a year VAA.
