Well damn, I didn't know that.

That is a euro rear plate filler man. Can you get a straight on shot for me? I had to have the rear re sprayed on mine and you can definitely see some orange peel that’s not in the rest of the paint. So a plate filler might do me some good.

It's a US filler. Has the four holes instead of the two for the euro plate. Other then that they look the same.

Looking excellent. You're coming along quick, but it looks like you're not skimping on the quality of your work :)

Everything looks great, Jean! You're doing awesome work there, very clean. Could we get a shot of the rear plate filler mounted? I've never seen one on a black car before, and I'm getting one soon.

Here you go, I went with the us version as I don't plan on running a euro plate.



Got another dash to replace the one I got in the car w/o the o2 dummy light.

Lookin good man

As far as coolant goes I thought of it like this. I just spent 8k putting a s52 in my car, saving $10 on coolant isn't a big gain... so I bought the BMW stuff. I went as far as I did, why cheap out now? Its only 10 more bucks

I don't know if its really any much better, but I feel special when it looks like I have washer fluid for coolant ;)

Jean, you are the man. Srsly. Nice work. I really like what you are doing. Keep up the good work. I love the lip too, btw. I actually just got my i lip today and it makes the front end look 100% better.

Sure, i'll do that tomorrow if it doesn't rain outside. Going to see if I can score an m50 head and e34 oil pan :) I got a bad m10 head here too, good thing I didn't throw it away, could use it as a "core" lol.

Wow, that's a lot of progress in a few weeks!

I exclusively use Zerex G-05 coolant. BMW uses Zerex G-048, but the G-05 is readily available at Auto Zone for $11 a gallon. It is nearly the same formulation as G-048 and is recommended for Mercedes. Good enough for me!

Got some basketweaves, haven't switched the tires yet from my bottlecaps.



test fitted just to make sure before I take them to a tire shop




No idea why I did this...
