Best improvments.

1. Bilstien Shocks (performance models)
2. 16x8 or 17x8 wheels with large tires. 245/45 17's
3. Self leveling elimination.
4. STOCK non aftermarket 735 springs.
5. Front (22mm) and rear sway bars (stock on 745)

I cannot tell you how good my car handles as you would just have to ride in it yourself, but it is as good as a well set up M3 with less body roll.


Any suggestion for suspension replacement on an 82 745i
. The car bangs (rear) over bumps and front struts are pretty well shot; car appears to have lowered suspension
as it sits at least an inch lower than my 735i with similiar
tires. Rear self leveling has been removed. will stock
735i items fit if I change everything/ any suggestions
appreciated as I am trying to keep car on road with a
limited budget. jim
