            Actually got my E30 today, (long time e46 driver now has a companion).

            Ordered:
            TRM C1s
            Kuhmo Ecstas
            Mounted and balanced
            Bentley Manual
            Aerial antenna gasket
            Red tint film for my taillights

            Stuff done:
            Steamed everything!
            Carpet cleaner (Looks new)
            Back to Black all of the trims (4 Coats)
            Played with the wheels (Ball joints and CABs seem to be in good condition)
            Went to Costco for some All season mats

            Problems:
            Weird vibration from 5-30mph My suspicion is the ten year old tires :crazy: have a flat spot or the band is broken. Hopefully the new wheels get rid of the vibration if not, im on a quest to find it.
            Tape stuck in deck, no idea how to remove! Searched to no solid result makes this ridiculous squeal too

            The car:
            Mint condition Alpinweiss II 325i Coupe
            73k miles
            No Rust
            Cali car until this passing December garage kept!
            Currently on bottle caps.

              Loaned out my spec 2+ clutch to a friend in need
              and helped him dropped subframe for complete overhaul.

                    Penetration looks kinda thin on that bottom weld, the plate on top is good but the metal below looks pretty minor. What did the back of the metal look like? doesn't really matter too much what the welds look like as long as you get good penetration between both metal pieces so it produces a strong weld.
                    Just a little project im working on

                          replaced a low beam the other night... I had the car out spin today... Stopped by the local Starbucks for coffee.... Was looking out the window at the front of my car. I then noticed my high beams didn't match... Trip to the parts store to get a matching high beam ! LOL ! I feel much better now !
