    Meet Sven, he's super gay but I love him anyway and don't judge

    1988 BMW 325ic

    He's got 109k on the clock. Two-owner car. First owner had it for 4 years, put 60k on it, and then traded in for a new E36. The second owners bought it in 1992 and have only put 49k since then. It was an older couple's summer car and came with some pretty detailed service records.

    I want to keep the plans simple:
    • Late model plastic bumpers
    • 5 Speed Swap
    • Non-convertible trunk
    • H&R Sport Springs
    • Bilstein Sports Shocks
    • 17" wheels of some sort
    • Maybe a Tech 2 body kit if I get frisky
    • Profit!


    Ok, sorry about the iPhone photos, I forgot my camera.

      Motherfucker. I hate you. :(

      Edit: Sounds kinda douchey, but not intended that way. Glad you finally found one!

                Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. I'm baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough.

                  Thank you sir! I was sold on the idea of having it match my E21.

                      Euro bumper swap would really set your car off. The wait would be well worth it

                        Good to hear. I hope you ordered from Blunt! ;)

                          I ordered a handful of parts from Blunt, but others from Rockauto.com and others from IMC.

                          Steve, once you get rolling a little faster you should really look into WorldPac (your shop computer will have to run windows for their program). Great prices and there's nothing like ordering parts and having them there within an hour or two.
