Why am I constantly seduced by the darkside?

[robrez]

It's true that the stock or near stock examples will demand higher resale prices down the line, but I'm not really thinking about resale value. And it's not one of the highly sought after models anyways. Plus, I'd rather tailor the car to suit my driving needs. Thanks for input doods, I think I'm gonna keep modding :grin:

I've got a nice low mileage (85k) 91' 318i slick top 5-speed that I daily drive. It's got some subtle appearance and suspension mods but overall, it looks pretty unassuming. Perfect for a DD, right?

But why the the fawk do I keep thinking about making it a little more sinister Adding a tint, smoked MHW tails, smoked smileys, painting the wheels nogaro silver, and lowering it a little more. Why, can't I leave well enough alone



Please talk me out of it or push me to just do it already.

Basically a clone of my car, with two extra doors, and a rear apron. I do have H+R race, but the car's a bit lighter so theres still a bit of gap.

I prefer the stock look, myself. Nothing fancy, but wherever I go the e30 gets the nod.

85k? HOLY CRAP!

ACS.

Well, then I guess I'm already half way there since I also have a Z3 Coupe (e36/8) It's got an e30 rear suspension and an e36 front suspenion.

you should pick up the quality smoked lights from gutenparts. I am leaning towards that since I found a crack in my tails.

Maybe because this would look bad ass:



Or this if you prefer that M5 look:



Either way I like your car as it is man

A litle lower would be perfect

Thanks for the P-shop. I think I'll back off on the dark color wheels in order to keep some contrast, and maybe just a light tint. I think the oem silver basketweave color works better than the Ronal's brighter color.

I like OE silver-colored wheels on black and diamond black cars. The car looks great even with the higher ride height. The oil pan on an M42 is low. Are those E30 M3 stock springs?

[nando]

yeah, nogaro probably won't look good on a dark car. crunk3 put my wheels on his green 318is, it didn't really go well. they're better on red/silver cars, I think.

Asian man is right I kinda regret my rattle can job on my weaves (not that they came out bad though).

[FredK]

there there hick, it's ok.

The rattle can job just draws attention to your wheelwells, which in turn draws attention to the yawning gap between your front fender and your tires. I haven't seen such a gaping void since I posted in one of iamdashiz's password threads.

Eat a curry dipped dick. That's truly sig worthy though.

I like it as is, but Im a bit of a purist (the RD apron on my iC was pushing it). Either way it will look great.
