Oh you going to enjoy the feeling of the solid subframe mounts. You re-enforcing the subframe as well? Did you get a new steering coupler? I would suggest doing that at the same time. Fairly easy to replace, can be a pain to get back in, but just need to be patient with it, some people goes back together easy, others like myself have to unlock wheel and persuade it a bit more.
I have the Vincebar but I think I'll install everything first while checking the subframe underneath for any cracks. Visually it looks sound but you never know.
I didn't get a new steering coupler but I'll order one now. Thanks for the tip.
Today it was a "what my M3 did for me" day.
Tossed a 69 DME Signal, engine temperature implausible.
Give and take...the foundation of a healthy relatioship, lol.

I’m looking to have the car tuned by Hassan once it’s all said and done. I’ve been collecting the parts since covid hit. Now I’m ready to have her freshened up.
I changed the fuel filter a couple of days ago. I'm hoping it's not the original at 140k miles but it might be.
Last night I broke my diffuser into pieces trying to get it off. I guess I don't understand how the OE clips work. Installed the SCZA with a bit of difficulty. The tips are going to require some patience to get lined up properly. I'll have the B&B section 3 up for sale in Texas soon.
Ya, it's pretty loud. I didn't think SCZA was THAT much quieter. Do you have impressions yet?
Hard to explain. For sure quieter. Believe it or not, more pronounced rasp even with an AR 20 welded into section 1. The b&b and SCZA have a different deep tone at the baseline, if that makes sense. I do miss the b&b screams/shriek at higher rpms, but supposedly the SCZA gets louder as it ages. At least I can ease my gf into the loudness coming back.
