800$ e36

Great job! keep posting pics and updating!

Thanks! Sure will.

When I received my headlights/taillights from DDM they made the mistake of sending me coupe corners. I gave them emails, but never responded back. Didn't want to deal with them so I bought a set elsewhere. Installed today and did a corner light delete. Going to add city lights soon. *Took the license off just for the picture not getting a delete.

Damn those headlights made a huge difference. I love how low it sits, you say you got H&R race springs on there? Got any more pics of it like side shots?

Yeah, headlights were a night and day difference. Closest I have to a side shot would be this one. The rear sits a bit lower on level ground.


This was about a week ago when I was test fitting the style 19's with previous owners 215/40/17's. Going to need to roll the fenders a bit and have 215/40/17 all around. Also going to refinish the wheels by polishing the lips and repainting the centers silver or gold maybe?

Took the style 19's apart today. Going to strip the clear coat off the lips on Thursday and try to sand them down a bit to get them ready for polishing.

Hope so, some of the bolts on the wheels were a b**** to remove. Hopefully the rest of the steps won't be so hard.

good job mang!

Haha, I'm always looking through craigslist even though I don't necessarily need parts.

Awesome deal on the car! Wish I bought mine for that price.

[rllynch1]

I was just reading through the beginning of this again and noticed that you said it was missing the drivers side window. Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for another window?

God I faced that with my style 5s and it'll get easier with sanding first wheel sucks then it gets going . And be carefull putting the bolts back in. I nicked my hand polished lip on mine :/

Thanks. The engine was in great shape so I had to take the deal. I looked at 93 325is before this one. It was terrible, i had to give it some gas for it to start up.

Bought it for 50$, have a couple of bmw recycling shops about an hour away from where I live. Thought it seems to get off track every once and a while. It seems to pop out about half way going up.

Yeah, I figure sanding would be the most time consuming. Thanks for that tip! I don't want to polish my lips then mess them up

I should be finished polishing the lips by Sunday and hopefully get the faces painted during the weekend.
