Those wheels...

Hey, great work! Love the way you are making process all though, it's you're daily driver (looks like) I would love to have more of bimmer's especially E30&E36 here in Denmark in better conditions! Awesome car, but they are all own by people from south Europe living in Denmark, treating them like shit, so they are rusting away.. Unfortunately.

But keep up the good work. I feel real good about this, seems like you got the right way of customizing!

[DER E30]

Nice work! I would polish or brush the raised parts of the centers and paint the parts that were purple...

Cool build. I live in the Bay Area also, I remember seeing this car FS on CL a while back. Very rare interior. Can't wait to see more progress.

dope m3 man. and nice tags on the thread hahah

[RumorMe]

What kind of wheels are these?

liking the new radiator setup.

going back to the topic of previous owners. the previous owner of my e39 had epoxied the shift knob on, i wasn't aware of this until it came time to replace it. all the diy's say "pull up hard/ away from your face". sure enough i did just that and dislocated the whole shifter linkage. I was planning on replacing all the bushings anyway, but that was a nice night under the carport...

haha thats one way to get it done!

I'd polish the faces and paint the inserts body color, white or tan

i like the tan idea

keep up the good work!

thanks

I think brushing the faces and doing the inserts a metallic silver would be very classy.

im leaning heavily towards the metallic silver

aaannd i need a new battery, starting to think this car is a lemon

[244Brick]

No, just a car that was slightly neglected, but you'll get that all squared away. I recently sold my truck and now i have extra cash. So, my car's left HL bulb went out and of coarse it's a H11B bulb that hardly anyone carries, other than an standard crappy Halogen 10.00 replacement (not good enough). Then, tag light goes out and this morning i wake up to a bad car battery haha. So, we all go through it man! Only difference is my car is a fricken 2011.

ABS light came on today

thanks for the vote of confidence tho!

picked up some supplies today


so the color for the inserts will be metallic silver, trying to keep it classy and not nasty.
plus i like to surface area it keeps to the face.
obviously with the clear over the top of it
the back of the rim will be the high heat silver

and was hoping to get some input on painting the inner barrels with the black appliance epoxy?
anyone have any experience with this or suggest a different product? in fact if you have any input as far as any of these goes let me know, ive redone RS's with this but really didnt run them long enough to see how they held up. also im not gonna powder coat, i dont have the setup and i dont trust people to do things with rare exceptions...
i really want to paint them black i think it looks waaayy cleaner

also my best good friend whos responsible for the very beginings of my bmw love affair and got my off that honda koolaid i was drinking sent me a FREE set of bilsteins


may have to cut some springs haha
ive had a set of rear springs and adjusters for an e36 for like 7years that ill finally use to get me by until i finalize my suspension plans.

its been soo nice out and the surf's been pumpin here in SF

and after a long day of surfing, working out, parts gathering and wife pleasing(sorry no pics of that either d-bag tagger) i was very thirsty
and grabbed a water out of the fridge, haha

ran out of beer and this had been in there for over a year sooo...
