My 540 Touring Addition to the garage with Alpina Goods
I've been MIA for a while but back with a BMW that I added to my garage. I have anew baby so this is the best car to fit my needs, plus I've always wanted a 540 Touring.
So I finally completed my project with the exception of the front springs having to settle a bit. When they do I'll be adjusting my TC Kline custom coilovers a bit lower and the rear will get adjusted as well to taste.
The car handles very well but still very comfortable with the Koni's set to the middle setting.
Hope you guys enjoy the pics. They're not the best quality pics but they'll do for now.
Here's my list of mods:
Alpina Parts
Facelift Alpina front spoiler
Alpina Softline Wheels
20x9 et20
20x10 et32 with 8mm spacer
E46 Alpina transverse/crossflow muffler so I could make a functional quad set up
sounds throaty even with resonator left in place
done by Chris at Castro's Custom's
Replica quad Alpina exhaust tips
Suspension
Koni Sport Adjustable front struts
TC Kline 700lbs springs
TC Kline collars & perches
assembled and installed by Chris at Castro's Customs
Rear links from LoweringLinks.net
Rear OEM Sport shocks with bump stops cut in half

pppfffttt looks great, CLK still looks way better. Whats up with the Koni's up front that stock shocks in back, is that common on these? The back is tucked in real nice though
