    My BMW

    Hey everyone. Hope everyone is good. I said I would keep you updates on my new ride so heres some pics. I have joined bimmerforums.com and its a bit different than here, theres 10X as many members and theres almost too much going on, doesnt feel as "homie" as here. I have seen a few "3's" cruising around and they look real nice.....
    I gotta lot of work to do on my 325, so far I have repalced all the lights front and rear and M3 exhaust, 17" wheels from a 2000 320ci and Im working on putting an M3 suspension and GC coilovers.....




    Oh Yeah, I sold the pro a few weeks ago for $4600.....i wish I could have kept it....

          Bav auto has a lot of M-tech parts, but you pay for it. You will crap yourself once you find out what the upkeep of a bmw compared to a protege. Just don't make your car look too much like something it isn't, a M. If you do everyone in a forum will laugh at you. I am not trying to be rud, but there is so many 325's and 328's made to look like an m3 it is rediculous. Whatever you have to do to get rid of that 2-tone paint job.

            Swap is almost done, few bugs to fix, when summer comes back around. It's just to cold right now.

            The bmw looks sweet though. A little work and it will be even sweeter. I love those cars when they are dropped. I also love that years M3 rims .. Those M3 rims are just so damnnnnnn sick .. ohhhh gosh...

              I would never rebadge it...But I am going to use an M bumper and sideskirts.
              Some people go way too far with it, rebadging, using M3 moldings and wheels....
              Im happy with the power my car is making I dont need to fool people into thinking Im driving an M..
              And yes mainteneance is pricey but its not as bad as what I thought it would be.
              I bought the car knowing that it needed a tranny and found one locally for $450,
              thats not bad at all. I just have to do alot of work myself, thats where you get robbed $100 an hour dealer mechanic charges I will never have....

                          Get a chip that can be modified for when you add the chip ...

                          My dad had a set of some nice ones in his Jetta... I forgot what kind they were. But the chip was programed to run with the cams. And the chip could always be reprogramed.
