  • E36 S.African in the US

    So here is my story/build,
    i owned a '87 Jeep XJ that i bought for $1000 and spent $10k on to get it to where it was, got bored and figured id take it back to my roots so i traded it for a '93 325is...probably the best decision i have ever made!

    here she is on the day i got her. ugly wheels. 2% tint. and i serious need of a cleaning and a clay bar and wax job.


    the next day i immediately started cleaning her and also threw in the rear lowereing springs, the previous owner had only put the front ones in..looked retarded!
    also added some yellow fogs and i had a euro plate laying around so i threw it on there and also blacked out the grill


    so i sold my old 5 spoke Ruff wheels and got these for $500 with tires!!!


    took off the euro plate,put crystal fogs in with 3k hid's,got some eyelids,made a custom lower grill out of a ford F-350 super duty plastic "billet" grill and painted it black...it looks sick and put new splitters on and went to town on it with the clay bar and wax again!!




    and YES so far its on springs and bilstein heavy duty's ^^^
    went ahead and got some new tail light in the process
    and built my exhaust, its all stock except for headers and i cut out the muffler and welded in straight pipes that go into UUC resonators that act as my mufflers now and threw on some 3" tips...sounds absolutely AMAZING!!

    here is my gnarly shift knob i made,its a solid pice of brass i milled into a 4lbs shift knob

    and here is how she sits now, i panted the wheels metallic bronze, i cut one dead coil off the front springs for better fitment (still rides amazing,no bounce!)
    and here she is..




    took a couple of rig shots too




    updates coming soon! just bought coilovers and 15mm spacers!!
