Also painted the mufflers in black







I want to lower the car at least from 140mm (5.5")

The idea for this thread is to show how I bagged an 8-series since I couldn't find any info on internet. I'm gonna show all the process with number parts, measurements I took and detailed photos.

The car is mostly done at the moment and yes there is some shots of it on Facebook but I want to show the development in the right order and not just finished pictures. It just make more sense, but we'll get there quickly

[DER E30]

You had me at 8 series.

[Bronzit]

The guys on the E31 Facebook thing really love this. Lol.

[DutchieSaxo]

i'm confused,

On the laptop your sig shows your 135i,
but on my phone you already have a bagged e31 on breytons in your sig

so don't keep us in tension en show the whole build

[Dr.AK]

Could it be I've seen pics of this on the new wheels on Facebook already somewhere?

[TeckniX]

I feel like your signature tells us what's inside

How did you fix the OBC?

[sam.]

got this, don't know what's inside

[sam.]

changed my ugly plates for black aluminum ones:

[sam.]

Bought a new shift knob and tried a 3-spoke steering wheel:





then worked on the OBC since it wasn't bright enough:





Also changed other parts that needed it, to make the car completely working like a new one.

[sam.]

Gonna start with a small modification. What is missing in an e31 interior is an armrest. I used one from a 3-series e46 as a base. It improve the quality of the interior and add an extra storage, which is nice. Here is the way I did it:











and then friends wanted to have a ride:

[sam.]

I first cleaned and polished the car:

Give it some nice dirty low love. sub'd

[Robitussin]

Always wanted to see one of these properly done. Should look incredible on Breytons.
