As most of you know I have a bronzit 325iC. I got the car from my cousin and I have had to do some maintenance on the car over the years. One of the major maintenance projects last year was a new driveline and some transmission work. I should have gotten a manual transmission at that point, but I didn't think of it at the time. Fast forward to 2012, a month ago (in May), my torque converter decides to go out on the freeway causing my car to over r3v and blow a headgasket, causing damage to pistons and all sorts of fun stuff in the lower end of the longblock. So as of June 6th, the swap has been successful. I have a new motor and 5-speed transmission.
Here are a list of mods I have so far:

Only if those were street legal, lol.
But in all seriousness, probably going to get a shark / 6-series / M6 / 635CSI after my convertible build is finished. After that I would like to save up for an E30 M3.
Here are a list of mods I have so far:
- e36 center console
- Custom fitted es front lip.
- HID's
- Dinan Chip
- KA Motors Cold Air Intake
- m50 Injectors
- 5-speed swap
- Engine Swap (replaced my broken m20 with a working one)
- Touch up paint job until I can respray the car
- LED Conversion for exterior lights
- e36 Window Switches
- Rear Headrests added (verts usually didn't come stock with rear headrests)
Mods In Progress (being installed / worked on):
- Style 5's (Getting repainted. Debating whether to fill n drill or buy adapters)
- Magnaflow Exhaust being installed with custom flanges (bolt-on) for easy removal of exhaust. Not for test pipes. ;)
Future Mods / Upgrades / Repairs:
- Fixing / Upgrading Engine Related Stuff or anything else that is broken.
- New Exhaust and Headers (keeping current CAT)
- New Suspension (Possibly Coilovers and 5-Lug Swap)
Note: If I am doing the 5-lug swap, I am just going to save up and update / fix every thing under the car. - New Wheels (Style 5's Preferred)
- Fixing / Cleaning Interior (Includes Refurbished Seats, etc...)
- IS Body Kit or other cool looking BMW kit.
Note: Basically just need cool sideskirts and a rear valence / lip. In the meantime, I'm probably going to keep my ES Valence on the front for now with my divingboards.
But I might just get euro bumpers later and use a valence that works well with that setup. - Paint (Keeping it Bronzit :D)
