    just a suggestion, buy your shit from a reputable euro parts dealer, internet or local. pelican has always been exceedingly quick on the shipping end for me regardless of location, priced ok, and you can get oem or equivalent instead of autozonez-made-by-god-knows-who stuff. just sayin.
    I have no problem supporting good vendors! I didn't have a choice when working on the 135. If someone can point me in the right direction for a new set of tail lights that look like the ones on there now that'd be great!

      Your car is coming together great. Those BBS' look great on your car. Much better than the Sportmaxxxxxxxxxxxxx garbage.

      Your car will look perfect with European bumpers & an M-Tech I kit. Oh, and kill the decals, the e30 is a classy ride. :D

            this was actually my first time ever taping anything off and it is not a quick process! I'm going to sand it down and spray it. Any recommendations for a good spray paint for it?

            I used Duplicolor. Been a year and hardly any chiping at all. Do three coats.

              Nice 1 series too!! I really like where BMW went with that car. Maybe I'll trade the e46 in a couple years for a 1 series.

              Kinda thinking of doing the same. 2002 330i AW.

              OP, thats the bestest 900.00 (well, more Im sure with the BBS's), Ive ever seen. Dayum, arent we all hoping for a deal like that? Hows it running now?

              Plans?
