A fresh coat of snow blanketed my driveway. So first things first.

An hour before I was ready to get started I fired up the propane heater. A nice toasty garage is a must.

After that is was really as easy as following the instructions that NM Engineering supplies for you.  I have had a wonderful experience with NM.  I now run almost everything they make for the R55.

  • Suspension Coils
  • Rear End Links
  • Exhaust
  • CAI (Cold Air Intake)
  • Tie-Bar

I choose SPC Performance for my rear control arms.  My rear sway bar is the 26mm Hotchkis.  What would complete my “NM” Clubman is to sport their new Heat Shield and a Engine Torque Arm Insert.  I’m sure those items are coming some day.

As for the performance of the Tie-Bar and CAI; I’ll have to tell you in a few days when some of this snow melts.
