My 318is - Before and After

[n0kian]

Hi All - Big fan of r3v, but not much of a poster. Figured it was time to contribute more.

I bought my current 318is in January of 2010. It was a 1 owner for most of it's life, owned by another e30 guy for a year, and then I bought it. Had 142k on the motor and runs like a dream. I have all the records back to day 1, with the exception of the window sticker. Over the last year I've made a lot of improvements...

Here it is when I bought it:



And here it is today (I had to do a quick photoshoot today, the snow is coming)



Here is a list of everything I've done in the last year:
General maintenance
Tinting
Oem mats
Stereo, with a 8" Luke box
Z3 SSK
ZHP Knob
Husco Armrest
Mtech II steering wheel
Shift boot and brake boot
Ground Control Street Coilovers
BBS RS 16x7.5" (fill and re-drills)
Smoked ellipsoids
Shadow kidney and euro grill
And I'm sure there is more...

I know I need to drop a little more, but that'll have to wait until spring.

Future plans are carpet dying, Mark D chip, exhaust, euro-trim, and much more hopefully.

Cheers

Done properly, not rushed. It's coming along great. I'd add "is" lip to the to do list. My E30 had a Z3 SSK already installed when I bought it and, imo, it's perfect for a daily driver E30.
