My old coilovers live on, lol. They didn't ride very good when I installed them (new), I'm curious how they ride now that they have a lot of miles and with the different rear struts.
Sorry to see the fender carnage.

Your old bumper M3 bumper is living on too! Need to do some bodywork then paint it to match my car! Hopefully I can salvage it with my very novice bodywork experience. Needs glue and a heat gun for the damage. We will see how things go I guess.

I got a few better daylight pics of how it sits. 

Glad it worked out with the bilsteins. The raceland shocks were pretty bad

@basedspider Is a dumbass 

Welcome Sir! Cali tops are awesome!

Well that sucks. Sorry for your loss. 

The third image showing the rear looks real nice

Hey all! It has been a little bit since I have posted on here, but I actually picked up some Raceland Ultimos from @stealthbimmer and threw the coils on my car. I did the full coilover in front and just replaced the springs in the back, left the bilstein shocks on.

Here is the car after getting the coils on. 


 
 
And also im a fucking dumbass and fucked up my fender. Only do that once...

How the hell did you do that to the body panel!?

Motor is no longer in the basement!
So the shop is now ready to go for the winter project. I decided that its time the motor comes out of the basement before it gains any more weight. No plan was made prior to this attempt. Simply called a friend up telling him I needed a hand with something for 10 minutes. Half hour later he showed up and we carried the thing right up the stairs. Now I'm not gonna say it was a piece of cake cause it honestly wasn't. It was still very heavy and trying to handle it while walking up the stairs backwards was as bad as it sounds. All I can say is that I'm really REALLY glad that the head was not on that thing. Not sure we would have gotten it up the stairs if it had been.
As for the cylinder head, I talked with my machinist and he has been swamped with work lately and was confident that he was gonna get my head done by the end of this week so we will see.
Brought the car over this last Friday!

Saturday I had other items to attend to but luckily I got all that stuff finished and out of the way.
This morning had a tasty breakfast and headed on over to the shop to begin tear down...
 





 
Got a pretty decent chunk of stuff done today. Almost have everything on the motor disconnected from the car except for the A/C lines and shifter linkages from the transmission underneath. I would have been able to get to the A/C today but the system still has refrigerant in it. I did talk to one of my buddy's dad on the phone today who's in HVAC and he's gonna find out tomorrow if they have a refrigerant recovery system around their shop and get back to me. As for everything else, the car seems to be looking good so far. Everything except for this...

Had to disconnect the ecu from the engine harness so Idiot me decided that I would remove the hangers from the glove box before disconnecting it from the hinge in the back. Well, when I did the box hit the floor and I heard a snap as it completely broke of the hinge. Looks like I'll be looking for another glove box.
 
 

Hey all! Well I got a lot done today last night. Forgot to take a lot of photos, but I got a few little pics.

I fixed my windshield wiper stalk!! Whole new assembly in there, and its working great.

There is the new thermostat housing, and there's a new thermostat in there. It is running great now and up to temp, perfect for winter drifts.

Well today was half-successful! I got my wibimmers sticker that Rekpoint gave me (Thanks! :D) on my car, pictured here:

Then I put on a manzo catback exhaust I picked up on the 2nd



A little more quiet than I expected but thats okay  It is substantially lighter and makes my M50 sound fantastic!
Only reason today was only half success was that I did not get around to the thermostat today, thats going to get done on Friday.

So I am going to be picking up a wheel this weekend to be making it into a wheel computer case like this. 
19 inch CSL for 20$

Ah, gotcha. Good price. Thought you were finding it new for that price...I was going to cancel the pre-order on my catback purchase 

Tried to resist, but failed.
 

I went with him to buy that car. It was CLEAN. He also got it for a steal.

Hello all! My name is Hayden, or basedspider, and I was showed this forum by Rekpoint. I am currently selling my 1998 318ti so I can afford my newest addition, which is a 100k mile 1994 325i. Got it for a steal over in MN, and I definitely have some things in store for it. Thanks!


Pictured is my recently acquired 325i, and my 318ti to the right of it.
