    New 318i Convertible

    Just picked this up yesterday. It's my dad's DD but I'll be driving it quite a bit (i.e. only have a permit, drive it to school with my dad everyday).

    Euro trim
    Euro Smoke Smilies, 6000K HID installed
    IS Lip painted
    Eye lids painted
    Painted black grill
    Hardtop painted jet black with a brand new rear window installed
    Keskin KT1 16x9 Square setup with Kumho tires 215/40
    Cup Mirrors (reps)
    ALL red tails
    Shaved Front and Rear Roundels
    Debadged
    Spacers (unsure of widths)
    Super bright license plate lights
    ALL original glass (other than hardtop)
    Shadowline trim
    Shaved antenna hole
    Deleted third brake light
    Rolled rear fenders

    Interior:
    REAL Nardi 330mm Steering wheel (according to PO)
    Check Panel Delete

    Suspension:
    JOM coilovers


    Soon:
    New shift linkage/SS
    Clean up engine bay
    Replace anything needed (per inspection)
    Fresh coat of sealant, wax, interior detail
    Polish dull-ish lips
    Put a HU in the trunk, stock one in dash, controller in ashtray
    Center steering wheel
    Paint rocker panels
    Re-align hood, fender, and valence
    Roll/slightly pull front fenders


    Later:
    Proper sized tires (they're brand new right now)
    Wetsand and polish
    Fix dash cracks

      It was basically 5k, then we paid an extra $100 for him to do a smog, brake, and light inspection (didn't want problems with it not passing smog, or trouble for no third brake light or red reverse lights).

      And he absolutely hates the hardtop. We might need to take him for an MRI...

        Nice. Enjoy. You guys should do a photo shoot with both verts.

            I hate your face. So jealous of the hard top, keskins, all red tails and cup mirrors.
            I hate the DEPO shit however. Yank them out asap.

                They may be crappy lights, but they're band new and look decent so they're staying. But...what exactly is wrong with depos? And how could you tell they were depos?

                I won't sell the hard top because I personally like it too much and there's no freaking way I'm passing up owning this. Especially because I could get it for free but I'd probably not get anything out of selling it.

                  We should but mine's much less presentable. I was going to take a pic of all three of our BMWs on the drive way, but I can't get this on up there. I'll do a photoshoot eventually when they all look as nice as this one.

                      Great looking car! Love the hardtop look and wheels. Any plans to do any work to it or just enjoy the drive?

                        It's modded enough for now, but we'll be doing some maintenance to keep it funning perfectly. It needs a shift linkage rebuild for sure, various fluid changes, and we're getting it checked out to see what else it needs.

                            Nothing wrong with depo's, there just lights.

                              He's probably referring to the Depo "crystal" turn signals not the Depo headlights.

                              btw, you can swap the clear turn signal lens onto an OEM housing and it will look much better and not have that crystal effect
