Best of luck with the project. PM me if you have any issues, I did a lot of work on my E38 over the last 5.5 years and have learned a fair bit.

So I've got new top mounts and the eibach pro kit is on the way now looking at getting new shocks and looking for bit of advice. What are the best to get (not huge money) bilstine, Monroe or kyb? Looking at bilstine b4's full set for just under €500. Comments appreciated

Yeah the tax is a killer. But kinda worth it. Wish we'd go like the French and pay for road tax through petrol/ diesel prices or pay by direct debit
