Thats the one alright, very good choice. I have quite a few photos of this dotted around my hard drive. I thought he changed the suspension from H&R to a different brand of coilover?

According to my book of receipts from Evolve H&R Coilovers were fitted. Car drives fantastic with 355 BHP after mods but suspension is very hard. I guess the pics you have on your hard drive will be from the BMW mag photo shoot in Jan 2008 ? There was a fair bit of internet publicity at the time and the feature is still on Evolve web site.

The pics were posted by him on here a while ago.

It was BC Racing coilovers which i'm fairly sure he mentioned were fitted over on z3mcoupe.com (cant remember his username on there)

I imagine it will be fairly obvious if you open the engine bay and look at the top struts. Do they have the BC logo and adjustability?

Thanks
Correct it is the BC logo with adjustibility. I will be looking to change in new year to more conventional springs

I personally would be hesitant to go for OEM suspension. if you are set on going for a shock/spring setup I would consider H&R springs or OEM springs with bilstein b8 or b6 shocks.
