    You're going to sell her?!? NOOO. Once you slap on those Mtech 1 pieces Im sure you'll change your mind.

    How much did the Belt Buckles and Mtech 1 steering wheel badge go for?

        Hey I'm loving this car, please let me know if I can help you with any of the turbo M10 stuff! (If you are still throwing that idea around)

          el bob - Can't do, we have to deal with SMOG here so it wouldn't be legal :(

          Gave it a bath and finally got the seatbelts swapped and installed new seat belts buckles.

          Thanks Blunt and Levent!







          seat / belt buckle



          Pretty straight forward to do, after you remove the back seat and panels. A total of four 17mm bolts to remove and one plastic seat belt guide clip.









          Side by side show for reference, older vs newer style belts.



          The b-pillar covers are also different as well.





          Finally..

            Finally got it lowered, this time with just basic H&R Sport springs (previously gc coils, then e30m3 springs, then 325i springs).

            It could be 1/2" - 3/4" lower but for a DD this is fine, not too low and better than stock.







            Also replaced the HVAC panel with another one in better condition, along with A/C switch.



            Four matching lock cylinders are with a local locksmith along with a master key cut from the car's vin, once I get them back I'll get them installed.

              I spy an E39. Are you holding out on us?

              Also, what do you think about painting the needles on the analog click to match your gauges?

                Good eye :) I found that one for my brother, an 03 540i 6spd m-sport, a few months back. I like the e39s, but I think I'll pick up an e34 for myself.



                I am most likely going to go back to white cluster gauges to match the clock and the rest of the buttons etc..
