99 m3 should be e36 chassis. 5spd manual or 5spd auto I believe.

Edit: duh, it says e36 in his signature.

Installed a new driver side mirror glass as the old one had some weird brown stains in the glass which could not be fixed.

This weekend's replacement....

I only got 16 months out of them due to the previous post showing the Saudi steering wheel adjuster.

Lemfordor....

But being fair I regularly hit 200kph (on good roads) and my daily drive also includes close to 40 speed bumps, not to mention the high quality of the roads here...

Can you get meyle HD over there? Curious if they would fair better. I am running HD's but definitely don't subject them to the same sort of punishment you do.

I can get their parts occasionally but it's so hit or miss on availability.

I will be starting my test drive today and realignment just after that.

So I will see how much it changed

Test drive went great, torque rechecked and was good and after alignment didn't have even a bit of wander at 200kph!
