    93 black on red vert

    hey guys figured id make a build on my car progress has been kinda slow as to my other projects but nicer weather is getting close and im itching to ride with the top down. car is a very late model 1993 325i originally black on tan has about 125k on her; car blew a tbelt so as some may or may not know my vert was totaled so she is going to live on in the 93, i dont plan on doing m50's or any thing like that my coupe was an m50 and it was a blast just dont have the need for the 30ish extra horses i have 2 almost 300hp bmws to occupy that craving. suspension is ground control's with koni adjustables and GC camber plates. motor wise nothing too exciting 13lb single mass fly wheel, miller maf with 173, super spring exhaust, 1.9 z3 short shifter, and a but load of new parts. now on to some pix

    obviously havent had a proper photo shoot but heres some odds and end the wheels im going to be running are borbet a's staggered the tire profile is not to my liking "stretch" i will be running a wider tire maybe a 225 rear 215 front but for not the tires stay



    i have converted all the trim to chrome including the belt line trim i wanted to make the car stand out more with the polished wheels, apposed to no chrome and all you would see is the wheels pop, call me crazy but thats what i like



    as of right now she is next door at my dads shop waiting to get the new heart wheels are my brothers white weaves hes borrowing my A's until my car gets goin



    i also have installed a brand new top as i learned my lesson from my last car, but lets face it the car is 20 years old and bound to leak shes staying in the garage on rainy days lol



    the interior came from my other car heated with rear head rest near flawless for 20+ year old dry cows



    my last car had a cd43 that is now in my brothers car its replacement is the rare traffic pro radio CD,aux,nav including having great sound are reasons ive wanted this radio for a long time. yes the nav is out dated but it still works very well and can easily get me were i need to go, and it sure as hell beats an ugly tomtom glued to the windshield



    inverse when lights are on






    on to my brothers car its a 92 with about 168k on the dash it is on my old suspension ground controls with konis, he plans on doing an m50tu this winter just a few quick pix of his progress

    day 1



    after i nice wax



    white weaves lowered hard top



    shadow lined and my wheels



    we refer to the car as the redbaron not in relation to pizza or the pilot, but from the game grand theft auto san andres there was a level that we had trouble beating where you have to fly a little RC plane. yes random but oh well hahha

    Both those cars are very well done!

    I can see wanting to just enjoy it with the m20. Sometimes you just want to drive your car instead of always working on it
