OP I'm sure you're aware but DS is "a special BMW paint" imo and that's my quote.
It really is unique when it gets the opportunity to shine, or not because whatever light lent to it it's unique.
All that to say this, my car looked like this the day I bought it
I've had it wetsanded once and polished thrice (heh) in the last four years. Once all the mechanics are sorted, I highly recommend it if the paint/clearcoat is in decent condition.

I'd recommend you take the upper intake manifold off again and replace the short rubber fuel lines. I almost burnt my 318 down because those started to leak...-Christian

Decided to replace my odo gears today. It wasn't hard, but I didn't like taking the steering wheel off and ripping half of the dash apart just to get to that stupid cluster.
But the good news is that I actually did it correctly and the odometer works again. So that's pretty cool.
I also received a free, but well worn Alpina shift knob for the e28/e30 platform. So on it went. I love these knobs. They make my hands feel huge ifyouknowwhatimean.
Then I got the front end together. I had a local paint shop whip me up some diamondschwarz paid code 181 and I took the time to spray the is lip (ebay lip - don't ever buy these willingly. They suck) and the valence. Things turned out ok. Huge improvement. I'm still waiting on new fog lights, and I won't paint the trim and grilles until I source either a nice, used center rear bumper section, or buy one new. Then everything will be refinished. but for now, it's tolerable.
I think I'll drive to Sacramento tomorrow. First road trip in this e30. I'll either make it or I won't, so that will be fun.world renown Harry Potter expert
