Wow, 245/40/81 front wheels! (Had to rib you on that typo!). Looks great. Did the wheels fit without spacers? Any rubbing on shock towers, etc?

: I thought I'd post a link for those curious how the CSi body conversion turned out on my '91 850 6spd. Good to have it back, well almost... the car is actually back in the shop this week for final detailing :(.

: There were two unexpected benefits. The mirrors greatly reduce wind noise at highway speeds. And oddly, the engine temperature at highway speeds has dropped to well below 1/4 on the guage, sometimes approaching 1/8.

: The car is also at least 1/2 a second faster with all the spoilers, mirrors, etc. ;)
