long time lurker, figured i would put together a build thread. been into BMWs for about 7 years, started with an
e28. also have an
e46 wagon 5-speed that the wifey races around in. cars have been a life-long obsession. i tend to do most if not all of my own wrenching at home. good times!
car is a 97 318ti, silver on black, sport, 5-speed manual. 200k+ miles. owned it for a little over a year before the mod bug hit. started out like so, we had euro tails/corners on hand (father in law is a ti fan too):
may '13: clears, ddm angel eyes, black m-tech trim
august '13: ground control front coilovers, eibach rear springs, blackout b-pillar
december '13: m3 front brakes, stoptech pads, slotted rotors, style 44's, m3 mirrors, m3 wheel, vaders, euro glovebox/steering wheel tray, zhp shift knob
september '14: new headliner, style 65 reps, lip spoiler, fog light deletes (driver fog decided it didnt want to live, exited on the fwy, turns out the bracketry was all kinds of broken and zip tied together by PO)
future plans: tint, restoration bits (a-pilar trim, cowl trim, front grill), rear suspension rebuild, motor swap
