First off, make sure you have the belt routed correctly. Yeah, I know it's one of those "well, duh!" kinds of things, but if a new belt squeaks where an old one didn't it needs to be verified. Always...

I replaced mine with the USM's from the E46 M3. They're the beefiest OEM part that BMW sells (and will fit all E46/E36/E30), and they're supposed to be suitable for upgraded shocks. I'm going to keep...

Why would you want to run staggered wheels on a ti? What a PITA! I don't even run staggered wheels on my M3.
