My project 84 318i

[Bey]

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?

[SpartanTiger81]

Mtech 1 badge is 10.95 shipped on Bavauto.

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)

[Jean]

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..

[Jean]

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?

[Jean]

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..

[Jean]

I have oem rubber ones but they sometimes come off the pedal so I just leave them off....

[golde30]

It needs a big six under the hood to make it lower
