Greymarket 325i; Long road ahead...

[ZenkiOwns]

Yeah, it's only surface rust from removing the (backwards...) M3 side skirts. nothing major, and I keep an eye on it. I'm gonna go sand the piss out of it this weekend. The GF will be out of town so I can dedicate as much time as I need.

Dinan: Most likely at some point. There's a few guys up here that do a LOT of business with guys in atl dealing in flipping cars. The plate says it was imported to NH when it was brought to the states.

Did that come from someone in Atlanta?

I would get on the rust that is poking through on the rockers, get those areas down to bare metal and then shoot them with a rust-killer and then black or body-color for now.
You need to nip rust in the bud, or else it will cause much worse problems later, especially if you are going to put skirts on, as these can trap moisture. I'm going through the joys of old painted-over rust right now on my e21.

Put your E penis away and explain.

Technically, it's a DTM spec car, that the US changed a few things on to meet safety standards.

hmph. lulz

no.

[ZenkiOwns]

I was really just kidding. I can't get rid of the bumpers lol.

+1 on the rockers though. Taurus side skirts to come soon.

Should I paint them semigloss black for now? or just wait?

As for the 635csi I can't remember. I'll see if any of my pics have the color badge in them.

The bumper goes nowhere! It took me long enough to find an affordable one as is. lol Unless you wanna give me your suspension bits...

Depends on what you need or what your after.

[RainierHooker]

Looks pretty promissing. Loose the side markers though. And do someting with the rockers...

[freeride53]

bumpers, for the win. lol

My car came with the international euro bumpers, german OBC, analog clock in the center dash, gas gauge in liters, rear fog light, and a few other misc. differences. Not completely sure what else.

I know mine is grey market because is has a federalization plate in the door jamb. The most obvious differences are the federalized markers front and rear, and the lack of ellipsoids.

This is my second Grey market car, this being the 1st.

Is that color saturnblau?

I used to have saturnblau '85 grey market 635csi. Brings back memories.

Nice car. What're the differences in the grey market cars/ how do you know it's a grey market car?

[ZenkiOwns]

lol. Thanks guys.

The stickers left a while ago. I need some better ideas.

The plate belongs to a (Jewish) friend of mine. It's staying until the weekend, then I have a special one coming :D

I find the Hebrew thing a little funny considering the car and history of BMW.

[nickflic3]

I think... You should give me your wheels :) Nice car man, I will be doing a 87 eta as well
