    318is from the grave w/ stroked m50

    I bought this car from a shop about two years ago here in Richmond, it had been a parts car for some time and had a blown motor but it had a solid body.

    Disregard the BBS sticker, I forgot to take it off when I put these wheels on.

          Looks good man, I like the BBS sticker...even though those aren't BBS's, but cool nonetheless.

          The front lip is nice too, does it fit correctly or is it off?

              Dude, that lip has got to go. I like the wheels though, it looks good. Why don't you have any engine bay shots?

                  it fits correctly, I had to cut slits in the inside of it and squeeze it together. It was 2 dollars at a junk yard here.

                  I know I need an is lip

                                      Did you respray or work very hard at compounding and buffing out the body to get rid of the oxidation? Looks good with the Ford skirts and the early chin is better than no chin.

                                      The shop that you rescued it has a bunch of relics huh? E23 Seven series in background, There is one on Baltimore craigslist but it's a EU spec 745i.

                                          that early lip, just doesnt go.

                                          otherwise, nice work on the paint!

                                              There was probably 6 e30 in the same row as mine, all of which are in in worse shape. The 7 looks like it used to be a sick ride, it has houndstooth cloth interior which I have never seen in a US 7.

                                              As far as the paint I just used a rubbing compound
