BMP Design is @ www.bmpd.com See text... (archive)

There was a small mixup due to the size of my order, and BMP sent the missing parts to me NEXT DAY AIR at no charge! I was amazed, as I've waited DAYS for other Bimmer catalog companies to send my orders. I certainly got my money's worth from BMP when it came to service!

As for the suspension, I ordered everything I thought might need replacing:

BMP uprated control-arm bushing set
New lower control bushings
New strut mounts
New rear shock mounts
4 sport Bilstein shocks*
H&R springs*~
BMP strut tower brace(As nice or nicer than RD, and $50-75 cheaper)!

Those of you worried about camber problems, my front tires sit fine on the ///M635. The rear wheels still have a slight tilt to them, but it appears no worse than stock. If you are sick of tire wear, try the BMP offset rear bushings, which are claimed to eliminate the problem.

*The shocks/springs are available pre-packaged from BMP. If you add the prices up, you save a few bucks over Bavarian. (Bav. auto will match them, but, since I received USED shocks from Bav. Auto once, that was it for them...)

~Euro 6 owners should order new rear shock mounts, PLUS the REAR rubber spring pads (4 total) designed for a US 6 series. The US spring/shock mounts in the rear are different than the Euro model, and the Euro pads won't let the sprigs seat properly. BMP does not carry these pads, but I found them at the dealership for under $15 total. (Special order.) I will post the part no. when the pads arrive.

Next upgrades for me will be new brakes, stainless steel lines, and new sway bar bushings. (BMP offers all of these, too. They also have adjustable sway bar links, which seem a tad nicer than the stock parts!)

I also plan on purchasing a set of Recaros in black leather after New Year's. The suspension parts, and some unexpected brake repairs have left me strapped, but the Recaros keep calling my name from the sore window! The leather is an almost PERFECT match to my OEM Bimmer seats. (I wonder why...)
