    First pics since joining the dark side...

    Well, the shots aren't great because I haven't cleaned the car up yet. It's got a lot of marks in the paint that I hope to remove this weekend with my new Porter Cable and Pinnacle swirl removal kit (with Liquid Souveran). I detailed the interior yesterday with Pinnacle's interior kit though, and it made a huge difference. The door panels and dash look brand new again - and the leather looks a lot better, though it will be replaced soon with black leather, its just not clean enough for me. I buffed the headlights with plastic polish as well, another huge difference. They were VERY yellow before.

    The car is a 97 328i with the Sport package and 96k miles by the way. It's even lapped the Nurburgring!

    Plans for the very near future:
    M3 front bumper with velocity splitters (have, not painted yet)
    M3 rear diffuser
    repaint rear wing
    M3 mirrors
    M3 door moldings
    probably black leather seats
    Treehouse Racing CABs (have)
    JT Designs RSMs (have)



    Some crap stuck to the rims. Suggestions to get it off?

            Hooray another E36 with an M kit to be added on.

            Looks good, but again, just my opinion...

              No different from "another E30 with an iS lip to be added" or "an M-tech II kit to be added" in my eyes.

                            you could try a claybar on the wheels, that should get most of it off. I would also wax them afterwards to make cleaning them easy (although they look pretty easy to clean as is).

                              Looks good TJ. DO what Cary said or try so fine polish. I used a polish on my BBS's and that stuff came off.
