    Before and After: coming up on first anniversary!

    Was just looking through some of the old pics from last year when I bought her, we are coming up on our first anniversary, so I was feeling a bit sentimental. Anyway, what changes a year brings, eh?

    Before I even got her, this was taken in the previous owner's driveway:



    After almost a year of ownership, many mods, much blood sweat and te...well...maybe not tears, but many many dollars later:



    Before:


    After:

    After:


    Before:


    After:


    It's hard to believe they are the same car.

    Blood, sweat and tea? There's an interesting combination. :D

    Love the car, especially the German flag badges on the side, that's original. :up:

      Damn, i should get some of mine. My car started out as a plain jane 325i auto with tan non sport interior on bottle caps. Now its a screaming 325iS with 5 speed and black sport interior on ever changing rims.

      Hmmm.

      That would be cool to have maybe an official before/after section or thread.

          jeesus, your car was incredibly mint when you first got it. And now, it looks ludacrisly gorgeous. I love red e30's!!!

          "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                I am more than sure there are more drastic cosmetic and even mechanical transformations than mine. Jordan's would have to be one of the most. I can't recall exactly what your's looked in the beginning, but I know it's better now than it was. Pics?

                That said, there are so many mods that have been done that can't be seen in those pics, I don't know that I have enough space to put them all here(exaggeration of course).

                    Yeah, I had some smoked MHWs but traded them for the H&R race springs I ride on now (sweet trade, thanks Dave;)). I will at some point do the stockers all red, it's just not a big priority right now.

                      I love the car. I need to the evolution pics of mine sometime. It's pretty drastic as well.
                      The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                              Bobby,

                              what'd you use to space the non-airbag wheel correctly? Washers?
