canāt say enough good things about the air suspension. My advice is use accuair for management. It ride better than stock with adjustability. let me know when youāre getting to that point. I will at some point this winter do an article for the air suspension.
+1 on the article. Iāll be waiting for it
+1 also on the Air suspension Article, iāve been thinking about both Coils or Air and trying to determine if the performance of air is worth the ~3x price point.
Ever make it to the track?
Have not been to the track yet. I have been busy with work.
As for the air suspension:
The air suspension is coming from Airlift (Front struts, rear airsprings/damper)
The control system will be my own.
wonāt be disappointed! The dampeners are phenomenal. Really nice kit.
Interested in seeing the control system. I have this pipe dream of trying to make my own control system that would take inputs from the factory air ride controls hidden in MMI. Iāve activated them so I can access the menu, (Iāll post pics later) but Iām assuming Iād need the module and then figure out how it would send a signal out to the manifold for the ride heights.
I have the elevel from Accuair and I actually bought the rocker switch with the idea that I could use that to make a simpler control mechanism. The ilevel I bought makes the set up of the heights much easier, but I donāt use all the different functions other than the 3 preset levels.
There is a guy in MN that made his own control system for a BMW E36 M3, and is working on another system. I have some computer knowledge but definitely not the programming side of things.
Either way. Keep us posted. Does the car still feel fast and fun. Thatās all that really matters LOL.
Hey Justin
Yes it feels fast. 
Had for nearly a year now and car is running very strong. Worth every penny I spent.
Any treks to the track or run-ins with any other worthy cars?
I bet itās a fun beast on the hwy with great tip-in.
Update: I still have the car and a blast to drive.
Additional items that have happened since the rebuild:
- Replaced Steering pump twice
- Replaced Fan and controller for A/C
- HP Fuel Pumps
- General Items: Tires, brakes, battery
The car has a little over 166,000 miles now

I replaced my PS pump with engine out of the car. Did you replace yours with engine in?
You really have to give it to Nordy great updatesā¦ The car has been one of the inspirations for many of us.
@laketahoequattro
Yes, did it will engine in. This was possible with the custom manifolds.
Make sure to replace the reservoir too.

Thanks, trying to post here more.
Just replaced the taillight bulb holders due to intermittent inductions of bulb failure but they were good.
Need to replace the ignition coils but otherwise still running.

Tease
@justincredible
I have thought about it but it has been awhile since I heard anything on the supercharger.
I think it would be great if we could organize a S6 meet somehow.
The amex is prepped and waiting for blower kit

The blower would be a nice power addition.
Been dealing with some rough idle issues here and a vac leak. Ordered all new coil packs today as I did not replace them during the rebuild. Bad me.
