HOLY EFF. I want RSs right meow. That looks incredible! Needs moar low however. I think you should run 225/45/15 if you can find them. They won't reallllyyyy stretch but they will be sick as fuhhh on those wheels.


P.S.- Please take those eyebrows off. IF you fail to do so I will have to remove those wheels from your possession.

great looking car, you just need to bring the ride height down now to get rid of the fender gap.

Update ! New shoes and all window detinted. Next steps: 2 new control arms and CABs, fix a rear fender who suffered from fender rolling and shaving the booth spoiler. I'm planning some coilovers next year.

For those wondering the wheels are BBS RS001 8.5x15 et06 and 9x15 et00. Tires are 195/50/15 all round.

Sick -

I was in Quebec City yesterday morning to look at an iX... nice drive from Montreal, 6 hours there and back.. tabarnac.

I'm coming back next weekend to get the iX if everything pans out - then the cabby gets stored for our Quebec winters, too.. shame.

Get those BBS's on ASAP

Sweet Interior. I never have been much for Type C's but your car pulls off a great look. Happy Hibernating.

Great lookin car dude, whats keepin you from rockin those wheels?

I need more cash to finish them. I need lips, bolts and tires.


Thanks for the comments. Last weekend I jacked the car on blocks for the cold season. :down:

Next year:

-new front insert (Bilstein sport)
-new springs (probably H&R race or some 60/40) (I'd like coilovers but it's pricey) (APEX sucks, they're very soft)
-tranny oil change
-diff oil change
-new fuel filter
-custom airbox setup (cone filter sucks a lot of warm air)
-I hope I'll have the cash to refinish my 16x7,5 and 16x9 AEZ Paron (two of them need straightening) (I'm not able to find two 16x9 :( )

They are more rare than leatherette, real leather, and some might argue even rarer than houndstooth. But, this plaid is certainly OEM. I've seen it on a handful of NA spec E30s from 318iC to 325iS

My car is originally black leatherette, but I got both front plaid seats from a Japanese-spec 320i Cabrio:

The cloth is called UBERKARO II and is factory on e30 m3s and 318is in europe (and maybe some cabriolets)

My 323i came with recaros from the factory. on the factory build sheet it is listed on the options list as recaro sport interior.

Nice looking ride man. Borbets type c look right at home.

[mtechnik]

Nice ride Jim

[Nicademus]

Yup I love those seats. Those and the houndstooth are my favorite OEM seats (close third are the cardinal or similar seats). I thought that there were some OEM Recaro seats but they were a rare option.

Saved all your pic ;)

[bignate948]

those seats are sweet!

Winter storage tomorrow morning. :(
