This car is awesome! I've just spent the last 2 hours reading this thread and it's 2am here in Australia and I have to be up for work in 5 hours.

Your attention to detail is awesome, I wish I had the patience, skill and finesse you had. I'm too scared to do anything to my 325iS incase I fuck it up as they are rare as hell over here, and it's not cheap to maintain one either.

You need more Mtech II body kit ;), probably my most favourite feature of my iS.

Hello
Thanks for reading.
Mtech 2 kit around here goes for 1500-2000
If I was going to invest that amount of cash I would Rather do an engine swap

crappy picture to update the thread

wire tucked all wiring coming out of the fusebox,
relocated diagnostic connector
relocated c101 connector inside the m3 harness cover
relocated 3 relays on the bracket to the firewall
relocated coil
removed cruise control
removed ac
removed power steering pump & reservoir, lines looped
removed windshield wiper reservoir
removed cosmoline
only thing remaining is the hood latch.

working on the battery tray area next
I purchased new exhaust manifold gaskets and the down pipe gasket, just haven't gotten around to installing them

i'll be curious about how you get rid of the cosmoline, i've got the same issue with my alpine.

can I also get a pic of the stuff you used for the cosmoline? :thumbsup:

OP, can you just enlighten us with what worked for you? Afterall, this is a project thread.

For me, Simple Green and some Race Glaze worked okay but required A LOT of elbow grease. I'm curious what others are using...

product called super clean

[Mtriple]

I found a product that worked.
I'll send you a picture

Thanks

I had friend of mine recently purchase a super clean e30 that i knew about, and shortly after buying it we headed to cars and coffee a local car show that has become huge in the last couple of years.


thanks fcb m3 for hooking me up with this hood, ended up selling my old hood for 50 bucks, and bought this one for 20, I clay bared it, waxed it, cleaned the cosmoline on the back side, replaced the hood emblem and hood shock and it looks half way decent,
