Well, I finally pulled the trigger on a proper set of wheels and a coilover setup. So my "stance" is currently getting worked out. But before I get a proper shoot of the current set up I figure I give a little story of how this bimmer came to be.
Bought it originally just as a daily driver with no real plans to "mod" it, but it's suspension was shot, so I figured why not do a modest drop since I was replacing the parts anyway... thats when it went downhill...
When I brought it home:
Bought this car with the money insurance gave me from the 318 that I got rear ended in, with money to fix the little things... 318 had better wheels then the stocks so I threw those on... and had it tinted.
Fog brackets where busted, and lenses were pitted to hell, so I decided to replace them, and got my suspension put on (just a modest H&R/Billy sport setup for the DD).
(boss' at the time M3 next to me)
Disliked the amber's so went to smoked corners, also ditched the crome grills:
Random shot of my old EG hatch I had:
Back to the bimma!
Was working at an Audio shop, so I started putting a system in to showcase the shop.
Also caught a LOCAL catback Supersprint exhaust (with horrid tips I know, but the price and location were right... plans to replace them eventually)
Fun sticker I had for a while:
Picked up an AC Schnitzer (authentic) type I lip and ZKW ellipsoids:
Wanted to make the front bumper a little more unique, so I whipped out the dremel and went to town, and this is what I came up with...
Stereo finished (post leaving previously stated audio shop... whoops!)
Euro E36 wheel with E46 stereo SWC's retrofitted, wired through E38 slipring, Yes it works:
Also put this 3-button homelink hardwired in at the same time again to showcase for the shop that I didnt work at when it finally got done... haha
Girl at the time had a mom with breast cancer so I rocked this for the month of October for the last two years:
Finally picked up some decent wheels (reps... but better then the millie's):
Added a 5mm spacer after those were taken to the rear to help close that gap.
Most recent shot I have before it went under the knife.
Things done you can't see:
Rogue SSK
Rogue RSM's
GC rear camber arms
M3 3.23 LSD diff
Powerflex RTAB/FCAB
5 Farad Cap
Red top Optima
120A Bosch Alternator
Things to come/in process:
False floor redo
BC coils (Installed, just need alignment)
O.Z. Mitos (On, but soon to be taken off and refinished and fresh 452's)
ACS roof spoiler (Waiting for paint)
ACS rear diffuser (In the mail, going to paint)
Thanks for looking... at letting me whore out some. I'll be updating when I get the car settled out on the new stance...
