i actually have a question and was curious if anyone mighty know:
when i bought the car it came with bilstien sports and Yellow springs and the only part # ive seen on em is EBS-BMW-3/1. from what ive kinda read they're equivalent to H&R springs?

yeah the carpet is stock, the whole interior is out of my old 1991 318is i had but unfortunately it was t-boned. so i salvaged what i could from it. it had nice vinyl black sport interior with grey carpet. i cleaned the carpet best i could before putting it in. its not perfect but im happy with it. theres a couple electrical monsters that the car came with (fog lights, blinker issues sometimes....., sensors)

and also finding treats like these
