    I have something to say about the ///M badge, but it's not nice so I won't say it.

    I think it's an amazing car with some potential.

        Thanks Jay,

        Yeah im not a big fan of the ///M badge and the front lip being painted the same color so that will be the first thing to go.

        The side molding and bumper trim I would prefer it to be black, if I can source some nice moldings when I am back in the states this weekend ill replace it then.

        I already have some 19lbs injectors, M30 AFM, and Chip to be installed as soon as i get to the states to pick them up.

          No im from the states and im currently living in Chile.

          I feel the same way about the rear badge so that will be taken off ASAP.

          The front lip sucks so I plan on changing that out as well.

          The rear bumper not such a big fan, but the guy had good intentions. M-tech parts here in Chile are impossible to find, and he was slowing trying to piece the kit together.

              looks like a clean car.

              the rear is a copy of the M tech I- the trim is a 1 piece rubber on the orig. and only 88 cars got the non smileys, and it looks like you have the old school H1 highbeams.


              the front lip MUST go, other than that it look really nice

                Very nice find, your patience paid off. But it needs less M-Badge and more black beltline trim.

                The front lip is a Euro pre-facelift non-oil cooler lip, I had one on my Touring for a short while. It looks better in black, and when it's not falling off...

                  That is what I dislike about the car the most. I am hoping that I can find a front lip that can fit in my golf bag of a suitcase, if not ill be keeping this lip for a while.

                    Very nice find man! Very clean and a 5-speed. Mine doesn't look nearly as good as yours.

                    Well done sir!

                      here are a couple more pictures

















                      This was the first mod done to the car





                      Second mod, since I had this laying around





                      Still have a bunch of other stuff laying around which needs to be installed on the car. I have a convertible front sway with new powerflex bushings and M3 end links, volvo lip, 19lb injectors, m30 AFM, and chip.

                      Also I just wanted to thank everyone who has purchased a wallet 75% of this car was purchased using the money made from the sale of my wallets. So if you have purchased a wallet from me I wanted to say thanks!

                          I dont really like the matching molding, I really like the plain black. I was looking for a set in the junk yard this past weekend but could only find them with the chrome strip which I dont like.

                              I know what you mean... My car is black so I don't know if it might make on my car.


                              BTw: I need that cargo cover w/net. I have one on my E39 Touring and it's a MUST.
