A Distraction of Sorts: My 1991 BMW 318is

I always really liked the flip key design too, I think it's awesome.

Because VAGs... lol. The people who make the system probably just had it sourced from the OE manufacturing companies.

Looks fantastic man. Glad you had a shop this weekend?

haha well I at least had a roof over my head, but the rest is open. Once it rains for long enough, water starts flowing all over the ground of the work area, so I definitely got soaked a few times having to get in and out from under the car haha.

I'm not mad at your distraction anymore. Looks pretty good actually.

Thanks dood, once it's painted it will no longer be a distraction and all focus will go back on the '02.

Having owned the MKIV key and this key, you can tell a huge difference in quality. I actually decided I'm not going to run this keyless entry because the fobs feel so cheap, like they're about to break. Getting the keys cut was a huge hassle too because it needed a special machine which can cut steel keys apparently. Plus, I later found out that the shape of the key blank wasn't really an exact fit for the e30, it was just slightly off so the key barely worked for like an hour and then stopped working altogether. Very unhappy with the product to be honest.

Quality build. Sub'd for more.

Perfect the way it is right now. Don't touch it....

Small update, forgot to mention the other day that I did some general maintenance:



Scored a Nardi Classic 360mm on eBay this morning for what I believe to be an awesome price!



Also ordered an E30 Nardi hub adapter, will take pics of that when I receive it.

Took some more pictures of how the car sits at the moment:

Why would you want to paint any of that. Looks good as is, move on to the 02

haha seriously? Do you not see the excessive peeling of the clear coat all over the car?

I worked on the '02 all day today by the way
