I’m stuck between going BW, apex, or BBS CH-R’s. Wish they made the CHR’s in a proper 18” specOriginally posted by tnord View Postbeen watching for a deal on a street focused coilover suspension but haven't found anything yet. I did pick up some BW TA5R wheels for the daily 340, and tempted to replace the EC7s with the TA8R also at 20% off, even though they're only like 2lbs lighter.

I just went through the same exercise over the last 48hrs. From what I found, it seems as though the consensus is BW wheels are better made than the Apex, and right now with 20% off they were also cheaper for non-forged options. If you can find the fit and finish you want, and don't go forged, the BW is the way to go. What I can't decide yet is if I want to spend the money for a proper forged wheel for the M3. The TA8 seems like somewhat of an upgrade over my EC7 since I need to replace the tires anyway, but I'm not sure if it's enough to justify spending another $1200+ instead of putting that money towards other things.
I like the TA16 as an entry level forged option, but I haven't got into the differences between it and something like the BBS RIA. The TA16 isn't at enough of a discount right now to force me into a decision.

Don't forget the 50% replacement program from Apex.

Very subjective question. I always found fixed back racing seats significantly more comfortable than the stock seats, both on and off track. My lower back would get uncomfortable on long drives with the stock seats, but I never had an issue with racing seats once I found the right seating position.Originally posted by Mattn1192 View Post
They’re more comfy than oem seats? (Idk much about them)

Agree with SQ13 above. Depends on the person but atleast for me (can't speak for nogaros) with my pole position ABEs, they were a massive upgrade in terms of comfort over the OEM seat. If I had to choose between stock and my recaros for an 8 hour drive I would take the recaros every time.Originally posted by Cubieman View Post
No, definitely not as comfortable as OEM, less cushion, no reclining etc. They are a good middle ground sports seat, much more comfortable than some other racing type seats.

Exact. I can’t find one position I am comfortable in the OEM seats… same for Z4M Coupe seats. Always moving the seats a little bit but it’s never good.Originally posted by Thoglan View Post

I did a 12h road trip drive last summer with my Recaro Sportster CS and no problem. It was the same with my Recaro Pole Position back in the days. Those are super comfo for fix back seats! I need another sets in my AW M3!2003.5 BMW E46 M3 Laguna Seca Blue / LSB
