    Take One: 1989 325is M50 Build

    Hey guys, some of you may have seen my build thread over the past winter on here. This is the very first car I've ever built, and it's been a lot of fun so far. I kind of disappeared when summer rolled around and I "completed" phase one of the build. AKA, got to street "legal" level. I spent the summer driving the car here and there while tweaking and fixing things as I came across them.

    The car still has a LONG way to go before it gets to the level that I want it at, but I think we are off to a decent start. Don't mind the steel rims and unwaxed paint job for now, I can assure you they are on the list.

    The car will be striped down again this winter and the rest of the list will be addressed. You could call this summer the car's "mechanical trail run"; and boy did it run :D.

    PS- Don't mind the sticker on the strut bar, I happened to have it lying around.


    One of the car the day I got it...



    ANDDD, here are some photos of the car from this summer.









    Sorry about the pic quality not being top notch, these were all taken with my phone.

        haha, yeah. They really grow on ya. The car will be getting some different rims this winter, but they will still be full matte black.

              For being your very first, that's a pretty clean job. Good work!

                        Love it, very clean and I love the rawness of the steelies. Can't wait to get an E30.

                        Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.
