Freshly finished, swapped, BBS'd, '87 325is

[bacain32]

Finished this up a few days ago, drove it 100+ miles to Louisville on it's shakedown run to Water By The Bridge show. Cruised perfect, tracked straight, was a blast to drive as well as a hell of a good time at the show. Car started out as a $400 shell, filled to the roof with shit just a couple months ago. This has been the "on and off build as I get time project." Just in time for the nice spring weather!

How it all began...



And how it looks now...

Love the door handle! Where did you get it? And tuck the bumpers.

[bacain32]

I got them from RobertK here on the board, he makes them, GREAT product.

I love the metal bumpers, out and full staff haha

I guess it's a good thing to have if you plan on rear ending someone and/or maybe attempt to do a pit maneuver lol. Btw, forgot to mention..nice wheels and stance.

[bacain32]

Thank you sir! I know I'm weird for liking the diving boards, something about them...

HOPEFULLY I'll have euro metal bumpers on the way in a couple weeks though ;)

[Acehye559]

Euro bumpers with mtech1 all around and your car will be one of a kind!

Clean engine bay. Digging the antique plates.

[SpeedRacer85]

Very nice, I also like the clean engine bay. Do you have any pics of that e36 M3?

[MR 325]

Those wheels, wow! I love the overall look of the car and the swap is clean!

Love the E36 sedan too.

[kreasims]

Great transformation. Well done!!!

[bacain32]

Thanks fellas!

Yea I'll post a few of the M sedan, that's my daily driver. I figured Id clean it up and let my buddy drive it the show since he's swapping his 318is right now as well.

looks good brian, pretty impressive progress.

can we get some specs on your wheel/tire setup? :)

[bacain32]

Certainly. 16x7 BBS RS et11 with 42 Draft Design 4x100 to 5x120 18mm adapters which are phenomenal. Offset is now -7, which puts the wheels exactly flush. Tires are 205/40/16 Falken 912s.

I could use a wider barrel of I ever come across some, but I'm not pressed on it, its getting full tire contact the way it is.

[JeremyE30autox]

Love it. And the wheels look amazing

Absolutely gorgeous.. Any chance you could get me a side profile pic? I have a db car with a racing dynamics rear valance and side skirts but am not totally sold on the look.
