    Wow. Maybe one day, when I have a garage and a lift I'll maybe think about doing this. You are a courageous son of a gun. I see people on here saying a legit paint job alone will cost you 10 to 15k. You did an entire restouration with that money. The car looks amazing man, you're like a BMW surgeon. LOL

      thx. when people say that a legit paint job costs 10k+ they arent joking. Oliver cut me a deal since they were slow, and they didnt have to do a whole lot of body work. but you go 7-7800 for paint, new body panels and media blasting. then you add on all new trim and there is another 2k. with the euroweaves, new windshield and other things we are well over 23k, now.
      If i had to think about it and do it again, i would not even consider it.

        Hey, I hope I'm not too late to sell you some ducts for the front air dam. Let me know if it's something you can use on your project...

            E-30 325 cat back muffler. This is a classic part for a classic car. Exceptional sound,fit & finish. This part is a great final addition to a restored 325i. Category: BMW, E - 30 HP Increase: 8...


            imo there is no other better sounding catback.

                      Why no paint headers?

                        the paint comes off and it doesn't look correct when painted
                        also not headers, they are manifolds.

                            Impressive restoration here.
                            I like the fact that you keep the M20. Too many swaps arpund i think !
