Well that's awesome. How much was that display?
Between $40-$60 at Ikea depending if on sale or not at the time. I added 4 more shelves using plexiglass and 3d printed clips.

Some of you know that my daily is an e46 325xi touring.
As of recently, it may be going under the knife soon for a swap that was too good to pass up. Found a complete M54B30 with complete 5spd trans setup for a steal of a deal. Includes an underdrive pulley kit, M5 clutch and a Spec M5 lightened flywheel as well.
More to come....

Did I miss something about that speaker set-up? Is that factory?
I had to remove the entire rear interior when I did the coilovers in order to install the rear struts. In slowly changing the interior over to black which is why it hasn't been reinstalled yet. That speaker in picture is the OEM subwoofer with the OEM amp on other side.

Got the interior dome, map and rear cargo lights switched over to LED. I also installed the LeatherZ footwell light kit, which looks great. They fade in and out with the dome lights and really fill up the interior with light. It also is a factory look install which I like as well.

Question, this may be a silly question to ask in a BMW forum, but y’all are smart and know people. I’m looking for a SAAB fanatic for a friend who has an 87 900 turbo (awesome) in need of some TLC. Anyone out there know of someone who is a SAAB expert? It’s a little niche, I know.
He want to sell it?

Looks like you had fun hanging it 🤣 I have a few hoods I've saved just for this purpose someday. Such a cool idea, looks great.
Haha it was not easy thats for sure! 😅 Previous owners left some paint in basement. Hopefully one of them is the right color and a quick touch up will take care of it.
Let me know if you want the decals for your hood projects. I love doing stuff like this. I thought about buying up some hoods to do livery designs and selling them.

Changed out the halogen headlight bulbs with some Morimoto 2stroke 2.0 LED bulbs. Love these! I first put them in my previous Dodge Magnum. The cutoff, color temp and brightness far exceed anything else I've used/seen. They are engineered to work in halogen housings or projector housings, so the pattern/cutoff is exactly how it should be. No stray light blinding oncoming traffic. Need to get a good picture of the cutoff against garage door one of these evenings.
Halogens
LEDs
Next up is switching out the interior lights for LED replacements. I also ordered a footwell light kit from leatherz.com which allows a plug-n-play install of OEM style footwell lights that dim with the rest of interior lights when turning on/off. Pics of that coming when they arrive.

Yesterday I showed up with just below 3/4 tank of gas, assuming thats where the level will be more likely than not. With the lack of factory adjustments in rear and having no camber plates up front, this appointment was more so to get the sway links and coilovers adjusted correctly than a true alignment. My arbitrary settings that I had everything set at was actually just about spot on for corner balance besides the sway links. I was surprised.
Here are my results.
I will for sure need to weld in some camber/caster adjusters on the rear subframe as that is the only "really need inprovement" outcome. That will be a winter project most likely.
After all said and done, the car feels great! It tracks straight, feels more balanced and flatness in turns is fantastic. Even with the minimal alignment adjustments, it was worth the trip in my mind.

Welcome!!

Installed H&R sway bars with Ireland Engineering adjustable links today and man does that make a difference!! New bars are 28mm front/19mm rear compared to stock 26mm front/17mm rear. The flatness and response is like a go-kart. Can't wait to take it to Big Bear to get it all adjusted perfectly along with the coilovers. Gotta make an appointment this week.

Wow great progress! This looks fun

How is the height of the seats? I put e30 sport seats in my previous e21 and they sat too high. I had to cut out both stock seat mounts and weld in two new ones that ran from rocker to trans tunnel to make the seat height where I wanted it.

That is significantly better. Was there a sport suspension on the coupes that lowered a little more than what yours was?
I am not too sure about that, but want to say no. The Z3M had different suspension than the non-M obviously, but other than that I am not certain there was another option.

If you ARE looking to get the crack fixed, I know a guy who does awesome work. He fixed a crack/gouge on the set of ZHP wheels I bought for my touring. Just a thought if you were thinking of going that route.
