Lue's 318is "Maggie"

[E30_Lue]

Wow, that car looks incredibly clean

Thank you, it has its little flaws here and there but overall it's pretty clean. I'm happy with it, could not find anything better. Lol.

Okay here we go, just because I found a bucket to stand on with my shorter leg. Lol.

Didn't want to take pictures till she was buffed, polished and I put the lip/splitter on but who cares. I'll just take pix next time I do something else to it.

Man you got lucky with the bucket, those pics look great. Are you planning on getting a regular 'i' lip instead of the 'is' ?

I already have the IS lip for it. Also have the splitter for it, just haven't been wanting to put it on until she gets a full detail.

Right on, it will probably sitting on the ground which is what Im sure you're after. Cant wait to see it with bigger wheels

Yeah it lays nicely on the ground. Bigger wheels will be coming soon

Just a few little updates
-Removed window tint
-Getting 70% all around including windshield
-Nardi Down spoke steering wheel
-Nardi prestige shift knob
-BMW Motorsports door handles

I got Hella high beam covers as well they are just not on yet. I also have the lip and splitter but I don't drive with it on. Once my high beam covers come in I'm taking her out for a proper photo shoot. Lol





Depending on the light the wheel matches the knob kinda nicely. But when the knob is installed, idk wtf happens. Lol. The knob is dark!! Debating on sending it back just because I'm picky about stuff like that, but overall it's nice.




Overall, happy with this car. Can't wait to re spray the car and put some wheels on.

bit too low for my taste but nice car.

looks like you need to lower the brackets that are on the front bumper. shes sitting abit too high which causes that angle issue

does it really need a respray? it looks beautiful in the photos

[ak-]

I was screaming in my head wishing you'd remove the tint and you did, hooray!

Welcome to the addiction. What's bothering you about it's paint?

It's currently aired out that's why it looks so low.
It has its imperfections here and there, and It's eventually going to be a weekend/show car so I'm gonna need to make it look top notch. ;)

Haha! Yeah, newer cars tint is okay. Older cars, must have fishbowl look. I am adding tint next week but 70% so it's gonna be barely noticeable. I just need too do t to protect the interior and keep it a bit cooler inside.


There's a few dings and dents, also there are some areas like the trunk and hood that are fading a bit. When it's clean you can't tell that much, but I can. But at night it's when it's most noticeable. Also I bought it with bags and the fenders have minor signs of that, If I'm gonna fix all the little things wrong I might as well fix it all. So a proper paint job is a must if I'm gonna want this show ready.

So, wheels are coming soon and I was doing some window shopping for wheels. So far I'm leaning towards any of these 4 sets, gotta make up my mind thought. However if anything that's a bit more on the "rare" side pops up before I pull the trigger then I'll see what that looks like.
-CCW Classics / Classic 5s (3 pc)
-Rotiform CCV / LHR (3pc)
I think that the CCV's and the Classic 5's will most likely be fully polished and the other two I'm thinking chrome lips, gloss white center.




Thoughts?

Top left for me!

Do you have a 5 stud conversion?

That's my top choice also, fully polished on that one.

No, just the regular 4 lug.

Top left also does it for me.

Others are too VIP looking IMO.
