Wow, your car is the single cleanest and most desirable non-sport 318ti I have ever seen. I really wish you wernt putting an M bumper on it, it looks so good with out it. The non-M bumper with a nice lip (coughMKIIIcough) was made for your car. __________________

So I installed the front bumper and under panel over the weekend, but did not have time to install the mirrors. That should happen tomorrow or Sunday. Hopefully I'll be able to take some new updated shots of the car this weekend. I am also expecting a package from bavauto today. I bought the 70.00 armrest they make for the ti, license plate delete strip that says "BMW", window slide clip and brake ducts for the m-tech bumper. I'll take some interior shots as well so you all can see the armrest and the rest of my interior. I just got done detailing the interior and cleaning my seats.
Does anyone on here have the armrest from bavauto? __________________ Clever but we are clueless...

How much did getting the mirrors & bumper painted set you back? __________________

Weird! Thanks for the compliment. I too love JL and will only buy JL subs. My subs are w3v2s. I wish I had the money for their home stereo speakers. They are so nice. I thought the optimal power rating for the w3v2s is about 250350 watts. I have mine hooked up to my phoenix gold zx350 which runs at 500watts bridged, so 250 to each sub. They sound nice. I had w3v1 for years but after about 9 years the surrounds started to dry rot. Next I plan on attempting to install a three way JL component set up front in the doork and kick panel. __________________ Clever but we are clueless...

Next I plan on attempting to install a three way JL component set up front in the doork and kick panel. | they can take a hell of a lot of bass. i have ran mine with about 1000 to each before but they only are rated at 600 watts (but i really think thats so they can not warranty the sub if it blows) but it also doesnt make sense because they really cant not warranty them if you tell them you were runing like a 400 watt amp. but the one time i have warrantied them i didnt even get asked they just did it no questions asked. my dream sub is a 13w7 the one sub produces an equal amount of and a half of our w3's and can take about 1500 watts acording to jl which means like 3000 home systems are amazing too __________________

Dang thats pretty. Almost what i want my car to look like. I want my paint to look that beautiful, i want the ///m bumper, i want to get rid of my white door (lol). Only thing i'd do different is i want flat black wheels!
And most definitely keep the ambers. Great looking car. __________________ 1997 318ti Schwarz II
