brilliantrot iS: a few quick and dirty pictures

[SwedishDeserter]

I was bored tonight so I went with a friend down to the lakefront to try out his D7000 and snap a few quick shots of my car. Just thought I would share...

Car is:

1990 325is
brilliantrot/natur
kosei k1 racing 15x7 et27 w/ BFG KD 225/50
bilstein sports
bilstein springs (no spring pads up front and .5 coil cut off the fronts)
e90 drophats













...and yes, I really need to get an iS lip on the car.

Thanks! That's the Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum. It's pretty much a big expensive hallway. Personally, I hate it, but I'm an architecture student and I don't even want to start on that rant. My buddy wanted to take photos there.

is it just me or is the drivers side trim not shadowlined like the rest of the car? the 5th picture ....

Yeah, I've been meaning to get around to finishing off the driver side.

First picture has awesome background potential - good call on that.

I think you have one of the few e30's with working sidemarkers ;)

Thanks! The car isn't too far off of immaculate, and that has nothing to do with me.

In real estate development, we call that architectural masturbation.
