      Sweet! Looks pretty clean overall besides that little bit of surface rust in the driver's side rear fender well. Welcome to REV!

        Great Sedan! It's so clean and just barely broken in!

          thanks, just thought it was a way to describe the style, was not trying to pass them off as OEM BBS, so I appreciate the heads up.

          and thanks guys! I don't mind the stance, but I do think the 1" drop will look good, and improve handling, but we'll see.

          car will be off the road for a few weeks during the winter to get the rust taken care of before it get's worse, planning on keeping this car for life!

          just ordered yellow fog light lamin-x, and bav-auto grey floormats, so expect some updates soon.

            An inch would be perfect for your car.

            I have found that the mats that come from Bavauto do not have the same quality as OEM...they felt thin and cheap. I have bought my OEM mats from Tischer. Blunttech may beat their price though.

              Argh. Tischer, and everyone else, don't have the silver mats, I had ordered from them, and a week later was told BMW has stopped making them. I called around everywhere, and only black is left and I hate black as my interior is gray, and black shows every speck of dirt.

              So I had to go with aftermarket, hope they do the trick, but if anyone has, or knows where I can get OEM silver mats, that would be super.

                Your doing it wrong, it goes low then wheels! :hitler:

                But yea car looks great and you've got good plans. If you just search around the forum I sure you can find a decent used set of bilstiens for cheap. I pieced mine together for 225 total

                  I know, I know, suspension first, then wheels.

                  I wanted to see how these looked, they are similar to OEM, so I was curious how they would look with stock height, now I know. Trust me, it's better than the bottlecaps.

                      love the sedan.

                      the best way to get moar low in front is to add springs, billys and something like an s5x...


                      Looking for a clean e30 shell for a project.

                          just ordered yellow fog light lamin-x, and bav-auto grey floormats, so expect some updates soon.

                          Let me know how the lamin-x turns out. I want to order some, but I wasn't sure if there were holes for the fog light adjuster plugs or not. I have the pre-cut lamin-x kit for my smilies and they're worth every penny.

                            couple little updates, new ZHP knob, traded the M decal for a regular one, and leather shift boot and e-brake boot as well as leather e-brake handle.
