Sepang is bad luck. Imola would be sweet or that puke e46m color

[Mike The Bavarian]

bronzit.

Sepang Bronze all the way.

I concur.

[vlad]

Royal blue 198 would be another choice, but I'm biased.

I thought your car looked familiar :D

thanks!



BTW: info on your suspension and front lip please?

Front lip is stock. Suspension is IE3 springs and Koni yellows.

thanks! "check the lower trim on the side window "

My battery is on the front as well.

that looks like mine.... What causes this? Any idea?

As far as rust in this area, check the lower trim on the side window - if it doen't seal properly, water gets in and runs down inside the quarter panel and sits in this lower area.

Interesting - the battery on my touring is under the hood, not in the rear fender.

As far as colour, I'd leave it silver since that's how it was born. Royal blue 198 would be another choice, but I'm biased.

Battery acid is my best guess

bingo :up:

Battery acid is my best guess. After I had my car redone I left an old sears charger on my battery for a week trip. Came home to a garage that smelled like sulfur, unplugged it and later that year found my battery tray rusting out and had to repair it.

Henna.

Exactly what I was thinking....

Hey Vlad, i think you should stick with a stock E30 M3 color. It'll look like BMW Built it back in 88'.

nothing I do is ever stock, well, almost ;)

overlooking the quality of the work being done

freudian slip? :p
