Thanks for all your advises.Can I check with e36 owners here , I find that the leather seat squeks whenever there is some movement. Is this normal or is there something that I can do to fix it?Also, my next small modification will be exhaust, CAI (racecraft Carbon fibre CAI kit with air filter), 17in rims & RG coilovers (RGs are related to H&R & Bilsten). For the exhaust system, do early BMW models come with catalytic converters? If they do, I am thinking of removing it and changing the exhaust to 2 inch straight piping with a silencer. Next comes to rims, will 17 inch rims make the car go significantly slower? Considering it is only 1.8 manual, but I do prefer 17inches though currently it's 15 stock alloys and it looks small. As for suspension, does anyone have experience with coilovers and are they recommended over just changing eibach springs (which will shorten absorber lifespan)?</blockquote>
