  • my white Liger, aka cheap E36 build

    Ok so were do i start, my name is Cody i live in Florida and i have had way to many cars. ive owned 22 cars since i was 15 allot of s13's, cressidas,z32's that kind of stuff and one e36 and surprisingly enough the E36 and my cressidas ive missed the most. well like the obvious cars ive owned i have been drifting for the past 4 years doing alot of events and a few competitions.my cars have been not so pretty but they did work! recently i moved out of my old house and now i am paying allot more bills than usual so im letting drifting go for awhile and ill finally have a sweet daily that is fun and has ac.

    Enough of my boring stoner rambling here is the details on the new car.

    1995 bmw 325is winter package alpine white, 202k miles O.o

    when i got the car it needed some tlc, the front nose panel was dented, some surface rust on the trunk and in desperate need of an oil change and new struts.now the car is fairly clean on the out side has drilled and slotted rotors. the inside needs some lovin,m3 rear seats and panels, other than that its all clean besides the seats and door panels have some grease stains.sweet pioneer head unit and has a kicker 10inch sub in the trunk (FIST SYSTEM EVER), keep thinking something is breaking when the bass hits lol. anyways ive done a few things to the car since purchasing 2-23-12.

    before pics:

    damaged nose panel:







    new hub and wheel: sparco hub and ebay 350mm wheel


    and then i put koni adjustable struts and springs didn't lower the car much at all maybe a inch, but it sure made a difference of how stiff it is now, fells great.
    then my next purchase was wheels. 18x10 +25 XXR 521's and i have 235/45/18's all around. car needs a pull and to go lower but it rubs for now so i need a fender roller sorry for the night pics just got the wheels on tonight.






    next on my list is to roll the rear fenders, and install my DDM glass headlights with 8k hid's, install my m3 sides and paint new nose panel. future plans are coils,m3 front,camber arms,bucket seats and bolt on's.

    sorry i cant afford real bbs wheel and nardi wheels i have bills to pay and the cheap stuff makes me happy as a clam for now, but one day!

    will post more pics tomorrow with the new nose panel installed. please no negative feed, ive worked my ass off to have a car im happy with and i love the bimmer/German car community.

                My suggestion is to find a different shop.. The tires kills the look I know u want... I'm glad you went 18x10 all around, I want my boy to do the same but he chickened!!

                  lol yea i got an appointment tomorrow to go to a local shop to roll and pull the fenders its a buddy of mine so i think im going to talk him into mounting some smaller tires. what is a good size to go with that's not going to be insane to stretch?

                      yeahh those tires are biiig. looks good so far though, def headed in the right direction, only question i have is how did you manage to find room inside your front wheel wells for an 18x10et25, im running a much lower offset on a 19x10 and i have literally no room on the inside..

                        a 225/45 won't be any better. you need a 225/35/18.

                              yeah god damn, not idea how you have that much clearance inside but , and you're positive their 18x10's not 18x9.5's or something and you're not running a spacer..?

                              mad props dawg, it took me a whole widebody to fit 10's up front
