Hey guys,
For a long time now Ive always wanted a BMW. E30's always were my favorite platform but finding a clean coupe in NJ without paying an arm and leg is very difficult. Next option was an E36 M3 since they were relatively affordable, but then again you get what you pay for, and the search for a clean one deterred me. After selling my B5 Avant I had to have a low mileage clean car with a good service history.
Heres my B5 at First Class Fitment

One of my friends at work was searching on lunch for an e46 sedan for me since not to many people around here have one let alone do anything to them. The first car he found was a 1 owner Steel Grey Sedan with 58k miles, black leather and 5 speed. I thought it was to good to be true so i took a ride over after work to check it out at some sketchy dealership on RT88. After a quick drive in the car i fell in love and left a deposit on the car. An old lady owned it and had tons of receipts from Springfield BMW . The next day I left with the car feeling pretty good.

After picking up the car I put in new plugs as well as an oil change and checked over the car. The car was really solid both inside and out. Gave it a good bath and so far have just been enjoying it. ( its nice having a quiet and reliable car for once )
I always loved how clean BMW engine bays looked from the factory

So this past week I picked up a set of Autostrada Modena faces from Spintech as well as a Renown USA suede wheel. Next up ill be ordering broadway static coils not sure on spring rates yet. I plan to step up the Modenas to 18's, and either respray the car steel grey which i really dig or change the whole color. I work at a body shop so thats why i kinda want to change the color, i can work on it after hours, and take my time. So thats it for now just waiting on tax returns and coils should be ordered
