Nice engine shot. Clean. Did you hang from the rafters for that shot?!

haa... Thanks. Stood in front of the car with a view screen that angles. Kinda like using one of those little angled mirrors.

Stop smiling Scott! You must be thrilled, it looks real special.

Nice work for sure

Went from the turbines to steelies for now. Enjoying the more stock and conservative look.

Maybe the steeliness need a trim ring? I have always been a huge fan of the 320i basket weaves, but I know fitment can be tough in the rear.

Very nice looking car.

Thanks John, I considered stainless trim rings, but after looking at them on an 02, it didn't seem like the right the look for my car. I paid very little $ for these wheels w/ new tires, so I really just threw them on there & thought they looked cool. I still have the refinished set of turbines & also a set of bwa's I will restore. (The honey comb style)

I won't be doing much more to it this year except driving it. 8-) Edited May 4, 2013 by sislane

Nice job all around, very clean. To each his own but the stock wheels with a 70 series tire really looks right on these cars - especially with the stance yours has which I have to say I really like. Definitely lower than stock but not too low. Probably somewhere else in your thread, but what springs are you using? Have fun with your car.

Thanks a bunch... I did drop the car slightly, but definitely didn't want it too low, like you say. I still have the stock coils, and cut 1 1/2 coil from the fronts (as well as removing the spacers) & 1 coil from the rears. It improved the handling dramatically. Much more grounded. A very controversial subject on here, but I say this makes the car handle a hundred time better. I still need to add camber plates to the front struts and I may also do something with the rear-end, as my rear tires do wear prematurely on the inner half of the tires. And for now, I have fairly fresh Bogue front inserts and Bogue rear shocks.

Enjoying the car. Nice fall drive yesterday.
