You were spot on with the brakes Kees......just been out and hit the brakes HARD from about 80mph. I did this 2 times and once Id collected all my intrnal organs back up I drove normally for a few more miles and checked the brakes again. They seem much much better now so will monitor them over the next few days. The fluid looks super clear and the fluid bottle looks new...... Just checked the engine oil and its as clean as a whistle (the...

Hi Sveinbjorn , What an excellent idea to make the B8 stand out more than usual . Chris

After hours and hours of internet search , I was lucky enough to find out (in the Netherlands) these Eibach sport springs, for E12 chassis (very rare find as their production is discontinued by Eibach). Looking into the OEM, spring references are identical for both E12 and pre 1981 E24, so the E12 Eibach should work on my E24. The extra weight of the E24 corresponds to 120 kgs, therefore the extra lowering should be limited to 1-2 mm. I paid...
