            Bro, I thought bmw Houston north was sponsoring you for the parts... I may have read it wrong from your first post. Those parts add up real quick. But either way, I stop by on this build everyday to see the progress and my my, its wondrous.

                BMW of Houston North is sponsoring the build, but they aren't just giving me $7500 (at list) worth of parts. The discount program they are sponsoring with is phenomenal.

                    Subb'ed. This build is great, I envy your work. I am in the midst of what I would call a "budget resto-mod" on my 90' 325is, but you just blew my project out of the water.

                    I went with H&R Race springs and Koni Adjustable's. I am glad I went with the race over the sports as I love where the car currently sits. Ride quality is greatI MO, compared to my coil-over miata and my lowered R56 Mini, I would say it rides much smoother than both of those.

                    I will be keeping an eye on this thread!

                      Jordan, what do you think of the difference in dash material from the original to the new style? Does it look pretty close? Thanks!
