Hi all. I am still looking for someone to install my ACS springs on my car in the Detroit area. Nikolas Motorsports will not install customer supplied parts (even after I offered to pay whatever profit the would make on springs if I purchased from them, and indicated that I would expect to be a new and recurring customer). Erhard BMW will not install non BMW parts. Motorwerks will install them, but want 9 hours at exotic car rates since I already bought springs. I will check for other Indy shops, but thought I would ask for other recommendations and thoughts, as $1300 to install is nuts. Thx for any suggestions.

Saw the first F80 I've seen on the street (other than mine) on Coolidge in Troy today. It was YMB.

F80 zcp singapore grey. lowered on eibach's w/ spacers + bm3 tuned. live in grosse pointe park, work in detroit and hit as many cars and coffee as possible.

you are going pay a premium to install springs on an f80/82 around se michigan based on the lack of experience and how the manual quotes the process + hours. nikolas is a rip off. motorwerks screwed me on my e46 ///m and will never reco them.

i went with sunshade in troy. can tell you what i paid via pm if you wish. very happy with the results - no issues to report after one month. ask for erik. tell him colin sent you.

You have the stock 18” wheels correct? If so I have seen you a few times around the Shell station off Woodward

I had a 15 MG with the stocker 18" as well, now I have a 18 MG ZCP with the "black" 20" option. Really miss the 18's and think I might pick a set up, the 20's are just to low profile for these MI roads

Any metro Detroit guys want to get together before winter? A meet and greet/cruise could be fun. I'm driving my car year round with summer/snow tires but I know many do not.

Does anyone in southeast Michigan need some winter tires?
I have a set of 245/45r18 Michelin Ice X on BBS wheels available. Tires have about 6000 miles on them and served me well, but with my M3 being totalled I no longer need them.
Figured I would offer them up here first before posting in the classifieds and dealing with shipping.

Cheers!
