Bought it completely Stock with 175k Kilometers (~108k miles) on the Clock
The Car was stock, but in poor condition.

Electric was bad, Suspension completely worn out, small dents, rust as usual on the rear wheel arches, and the Paint was a desaster.

Since March when i bought it, i added a To-Do list with things i want, and things the Car needs

Already done:

Complete Suspension changed included Bearings and Stuff to Heavy Duty,
Shocks Bilstein B8
Springs Eibach Sport -50/30
Rims Styling 42 in ´16
Completely removed the Airbags including Dashboard Swap to Non-Airbag (cause the Pre-Owner messed up with the Electrics) and installed a M-Tech II Steering Wheel.
Novus Exhaust System with 2x90 straightcut Pipes without Absorber
Shortshift from the Z4 2,5
Chrome Doorpins from the Coupe
Chrome E-Windowbutton Frames

Upcoming in the Next time:

Rollbar,
Strut-Braces,
Cabriolet Crossbar
Headlight-Swap to H1 with Lenses
200Cell Catalic Converter,
Torsion Flywheel-Swap to Single-Lightweight
Slight Engine Mod to about 170-175hp
remove all Dents, and maybee Winter 2k15 a complete Repaint.

Just want to make it a almost Stock Lookin OEM+ Compact in very good condition and fun-ride.
