I’ve been and collected some bits from BMW. Here we have two new rear ARB drop links, some nuts and bolts for the front wheel arch liners and an exhaust mount. Sadly I’d ordered two exhaust mounts yet only one arrived, but I’m assured that the other one will be popped in the post and should arrive before the weekend.

I hope to get the drop links and exhaust mounts fitted quickly Friday evening or Saturday morning. Then onto the wheel arch liners as mentioned last time.

Something I omitted to mention last time, but I drove Craig Smith’s Sport Evo on Tuesday evening. Well, well, well! It’s clear to see the evolution path from my S14 to the E36’s S50 engines; the 2.5 litre sport evo has considerably more torque low down, and it just gets better as it revs.

Next time the two cars are together I’ll try and get some photographs. Craig’s car is in extremely good condition, and feels like a much newer car than mine. He’s got the big (standard fit) bucket seats. For those that don’t know, they look like this:

Upon reflection though, I’ve come a long way with ‘Wol’ over the last three months, and looking forward, I hope that with new wheels and wheel arch liners, a bit of body work and maybe a less brash exhaust, I’ll soon be loving it when a plan comes together.
