What do you think I should do first??

Alright, what do you guys think. I finally have enough money to buy shocks/springs or get my new trunklid and rear bumper painted/repaired. What do you think I should do first??

Shocks you feel every day... You can't see the trunklid!

suspension first, leaves more motivation to fix the rest after you see how sexy it will look.

Shocks & Springs if it is the Sacks kit gets my vote

[E34 530]

Alrightm suspension it is. Jon K refresh your skills on a suspension install ;)

[Jay 535i]

What they said. Suspension first.

I think I'm going with the eibach/bilstein

[BillionPa]

i am halfway done (rear only) with my suspension, doing eibach and bilstein hds.

luckily you dont have a lot of miles on your car, but be prepared for stuck bolts.

and by be prepared, I mean have a heavy axe handy, and a metal baseball bat wrapped in duct tape helps too.

Sounds good. I want to see some of the pic's with the eibachs/bilsteins installed so I know what my car is going to look like.

[Alexlind123]

yea the trunk isnt too bad at all.

[Gearhead]

Besides, you can fix the trunk lid cheap!

Thanks Jeff. Hopefully my car will be as low as yours because I have seen a few pic's of the Eibach/Bilsteins where the ride height almost looks stock.

A late vote, I would say suspension too IF everything that's broken has been fixed. I always figure that you can drive an ugly car, but you can't drive a broken pretty one. Easier said than done though, I would have loved to spend the $500+ I've spent on suspension repairs on paintless dent repair, a good cut and polish, and maybe some euro tails and corner trim. Damn I need more money...............

[Rob]

Don't we all need more money?

My love for these cars is leaving me a little short change every month. I haven't really got anything better to spend the cash on, so I don't mind.

E34_530: Get new shocks ect. Fix the boot later when you got more cash. :)

[Zeuk in Oz]

My vote is suspension.

When that is done make sure you stop quickly at a pedestrian crossing or similar, get a small nudge in the back, and get them to fix the boot lid. :D

lol Sad to say, but I have thought (and even wished) someone would have just gave me a slight tap in the rear so I can get a new bumper and paint my new trunklid waiting for me in the garage.
