I've been lurking here for a few months and don't have any pics up of my car (89 325i 4dr) other than my avatar so I decided to throw some up for your viewing pleasure. Especially since i just installed my new shift knob and took a few new pictures today. Let me know what you think of my car.

These pics are when i first got it and brought it home:





This is a few week later after i cleaned the car up, cleaned the weaves and waxed the car:




This is a rare shot of my different colored fender lol




This is today. During the winter, i painted my weaves and ordered BMW emblems for them:



And finally today i installed my brand new ZHP shift knob from Tischer:

Old crappy knob:



Beautiful new OEM knob:D





This is my engine bay now, i'll be cleaning it over the next few days in my spare time after work:




Let me know what you guys think of my ride.
Near future mods:
Fix speedometer
Clean interior and engine bay
New steering wheel
New shift boot and Ebrake boot
H&R / Billy's
New bushings all around
Camber plates
Install a dam radio
Fix antenna
All red tails or Smoked - undecided
Smoked turn signals
Euro plate filler
Front Euro plate
Etc etc.

I got a big list but thats everything i hope to accomplish before the end of summer.
Thanks for looking,

i think you should clean the lowers a bit or paint them black. i have them white too. i need to repaint mine, they look dirty.

i aways wanted a 4 dr. haha
nice car.

[deutschman]

needs some work but great start man! i have a white 4 doer 318i. its lots of fun!

[EtaSport]

Not bad, just sold my alpine 318 sedan. What headers are those, did they give you any performance gains?

What part of pa are you in?

[KillaCams]

Yea i need to wash the car lol I will be detailing the entire car when i start washing down the engine bay.

As for the headers i don't know, the previous owner put them on. I bought the car with a fair amount of modifications done to it already. I will eventually go turbo so they don't really matter.

The car needs alot of TLC, but i got an awesome deal on it and it's fun to do everything and look at the finished product. I will definitely be building this car for a few years. For now im focusing on basic appearance and getting all the mechanicals worked out then the serious modding will start. Plus i need serious $$ for serious modding.

I'm in Easton,PA near the Jersey border.

Thanks for all the comments guys keep em coming.

Actually the Killacams is for the Schrick cams in the car, not the rapper; that was good though

[Farbin Kaiber]

Take an afternoon with some metalworker's pliers ans straighten out your rear valance. Blast that and those rockers with some black and it'll make it pop even more for only 5.99

[KillaCams]

I'm actually looking for a replacement valance. I've also been toying with the idea of getting a clean shell to drop my motor into. It's also a possibility i'll sell altogether and buy another E30 next year after i save up some good coin.
