E46 Compact Suspension

[Daveyboyadams]

I have a 325ti compact with a M54B30 conversion and I am prepping it for a track use and am looking at the suspension, coilovers, anti roll bars, poly flex bushes and strut braces. Anyone got any tips of what to go with and I'm on a budget and don't really want to spend thousands.

That conversion sounds interesting!

Sorry I can't answer your question, but if you page through "BMW General" you will find a 325ti Appreciation thread - I'm sure a couple of people have posted on there about the mods they have made!

Some tips:

Fit: gen BMW front susp turret reinforcement plates, Z3 rear damper top mount reinforcement plates, replace all rear axle ball joints, replace solid lower ones for ball joints as the M3 uses. I won't give spring and damper advice as I've not used a 46 on the track.

Echo the above, BMW did an OE strut brace which you might be able to pick up cheapish used - part num 51710395077
