    1986 325es

    Figured I'd post some updated pictures of my car. Not a whole lot has changed since my original thread. Only new additions basically are the painted bottlecaps with azenis, magnaflow universal muffler, all red tails, resprayed the rockers, bumper trim, and spoiler in trim paint black. I decided to ditch the ugly ass all black bumpers. Also added a z3 short shifter. I think thats basically it.

    I recently purchased a low mileage m20b25, trans, and 373 diff to put in. I got all of the maintenance done to the engine including; t-belt, water pump and tensioner, oil pan gasket, plugs, cap and rotor, valve cover gasket. The only thing holding the swap up yet is the wiring, my friend and I just arent positive on what we're looking for and what we'll need. As far as I knew, the 87i engine harness was directly compatible with the 86e car harness, but I guess im wrong. Anyone with any input on this I would greatly appreciate your help.

      Does your 86 chassis/engine harness have a square plug or round near the fuse box?

                The airdam is definately on my to-do list, it just hasnt been a real priority as of yet.

                    Very nice. I like it, especially the bottle caps.

                      Cool, my car almost just like that one. Minus the lip spoiler and air dam. Bumper tuck is definately next on the list.

                        IMO it's kinda shitty, only good part is the Mulberry. Must get more mulberry.

                              Without question. All others are number 2 or less.
