I honestly wanted to wait another few weeks until I got my front lip done and a few other random things done, but I couldn't wait. I've had my ups and downs on keeping this car, but I've finally decided I'm going to for a long time. I'll list a few of the recent mods that I have done since I have gotten it.

K&N Intake
Dinan Chip
Ireland Engineering Headers
Interior swap from tan to black
Spacers
15x7.5 5Ziegen Wheels
Carpeted rear dash
Sound Deadening Removed from rear seats
Air blower fan removed
NRG Racing Seats
Removed the AC, AC lines, Heater Core and all Heater Lines
Rear Infinity 6x9's
Front Inifity Mids
6k HID's, Lows and Highs
15mm front drop hats
Tint was re-done, %35 up front %15 on rears
Smoked headlights ( Film )
Smoked tail lights ( Spray )
Smoked sidemarkers
Painted the windshield wipers black ( They were blue )
Front window strip
Carbon Fiber BMW emblems
Sparco Steering wheel & Hub
M shifter knob and M e-brake
Shift boot and e-brake boot
eBay pedals
I also have the other main stuff like subs, europlates, LTW flag, V1 radar, random internet stickers, ect

My next plans are to black out my shadow lining, IS lip ( I tried a volvo lip and it didn't work AT ALL ), new lug nuts, install my KYB suspension, new sparco seats, Half cage with 5 point harness's,

Keep it up bro!! I found a mint 1990 325iS that the owner is saving for me. 134k and full maintenance records...backseats haven't even been used! She was asking $2500 about a year ago. I will probably pick it up in a year if not sooner. She had multiple offers for more then she was asking but doesn't want to sell it to anyone but me.

^ you know the car has been well cared for when the previous owner is picky about who they sell it to.
