New LCD and ribbon cable to fix my pixel issues on the instrument cluster. Also replaced a couple stepper needle motors that were going out.

replaced the old and worn BC coilovers that it had with a new set of BC coils and what a difference.. just need to dial everything in and she should be golden..

PO lowered the stance by adjusting the pre-load on the coils which I am sure led to the short lifespan of the struts.

Why not just have them rebuilt?

have you priced out a rebuild on coilovers? To me wasnt worth it. you have to consider not only cost, but down time etc.

Hey, mind if I ask how many miles (roughly) they lasted?

I have not adjusted the pre-load on mine, but I'd love to know either way?

I honestly don’t know.. I do know that when I picked her up the coils were rebuilt with new inserts prior to my purchase. How long before I don’t know. But by the condition of the springs and mounts with the level of rust and I’m not speaking surface rust, they had some miles on them..

Headed down to Atlanta today for the Trans-Am race this weekend. Stopped by the BMW Zentrum in South Carolina on the way for a quick shot...

Pulled the roof racks off the X.
That's about it.
