I am thinking all that plus a tan and black interior with a new tan top. And 16 inch style 5's. Then I can die happy.

Sounds like it will be glorious. Post some pics up when you make progress on it!

I may just get the MtechII bumpers and save my euro bumpers for the DD I just picked up after Christmas, A slightly haggard 87' Brillantrot 4 door 325i.

bump because I have more redundant questions (although answers to them may be useful to people looking for collected info in the future)


What are good compression numbers for an M30 with north of 220K miles? The one I'm looking at has ~140 all around.

Also, if the head is taken off, is there anything I can replace cheaply and easily along with the head gasket? (May as well get a complete gasket kit and go through it.)

Upper/lower timing chain gaskets/rail stuff.
