    The M52...

    My 1991 BMW 318is M52.

    I purchased the car swapped in 3/07 from Jeremy (Permit).

    When I first got it, it had 16" Kosei K1s and 5% Tint on the rear windows.



    Sitting with my 1989 325is





    First thing I did was put the Ronal LSs on from my old car, installed the white lip spoiler, and got MHW Smoked Tail lights.



    Then I removed the tint and got an M-Tech1 Rear Spoiler.





    Next I found a great deal on a set of Staggered Borbet Type A's
    First cell phone shot with the coils spun all the way down. Clearly not drivable.







    Currently in the process of painting the lowers white to match the lip

    Last but not least here's a nice Engine bay shot I found on Fixx

            Looks great, but the rims are so-so. I've never been a fan of Borbet A's, though. Props for the clean M52 install.

              Looked best on the ronals with black lowers, but that's my opinion.

              I drove it when it was his, how is it running these days?

                        Looks good dude. What tire sizes and offsets are you running front and rear?

                          I think the type A' look sick especially rolling but I definetly prefered black lowers. clean looking either way
