that steering wheel is OEM perfection 😍

Hell yeah
 
Great looking e90! I'm biased but space gray is such an awesome color. 

Just starting a build thread to keep track of my progress and hopefully entertain a couple people
After coming from Honda's, a couple si's and 5 integras when I was in high school I knew I needed to get back into the car world after driving an almost unbearably reliable accord for 3 years. So I started the search for a manual e90. After about a year of looking and checking a few out that turned out to be absolute piles I found one in Texas at a Carmax and decided to pull the trigger. A couple weeks later it finally showed up here in Milwaukee and was in great condition cosmetically and mechanically so I was finally done searching. 
So far I have done pretty simple things as it is my daily and will stay that way, hoping to get into a 335i e92 for a fun car eventually 
Mod list to date minus all the fun maintenance 
ARM motorsport stepped 5" intercooler
Koni yellows with Vogtland sport springs
BMS intake
MHD stage 2+ e30 tune
VRSF catless downpipe
MRR U02 18x8.5 +35 front 18x9.5 +38 rear
Next steps are installing Mtech rear bumper, after I placed my ordered the front was out of stock sadly, and making the tough decision to either paint them or wrap the car.

Too cool not to post. Been following for awhile.

Finally took these out of the garage after collecting dust for 9 months. I feel like they transformed the car pretty well (dont judge the weird camera angle🤣)
Now to continue the search for some msport bumpers
BMW center caps are on order also

Update.
Small one, didnt get a whole lot done this weekend.
The blower motor stopped working a week before the last drift day and I finally got around to ordering a new one. We had checked for power before I went and ordered one. 
Turns out it wasnt the blower motor so that was a great way to start the day. I'll be ordering a resistor even though I didnt think that was the problem. After reading it seems these resistors aren't the same as normal ones that when all the others I have dealt with work on high only when bad the e46 ones can just take a shit all together.
I moved on to fixing the broken door lock.
Disassembled.

here's the broken/cracked parts.

and the lock successfully assembled and working smooth 👍 I did use some of the good original parts over because well they were fine and no need to put some Chinese pieces in. Lol I kept the retainer and the spring from the original lock.

 
Fron there I moved on to assembling and installing the intake I got. It's from amazon, actually a really nice product and fit. And about half the price of an AFE. 


 
Now the only major downfall of the whole having a real intake thing is that I went full honda boy and shaved all the studs and holes in the engine  bay LOL. So now I'll be drilling and having to put in some nutzerts to keep this thing in place haha.
 
 
 

Looks really good but I am no web developer. If I was shopping around for designing help this website is professional and makes me want to reach out.
 
@straight6pwr is right though, bitches do love videos

The next one is February 1st if anyone wants to give it a shot. It was a blast and pretty cool to be able to lap a snow covered road america

Almost done already.

Was it worth quoting all of the pictures too? 

Had the ultimate motivation to work on this car.  Over the weekend I had two friends (David  and Cher)  swing by on my birthday and practice light painting using my car. I was only given 1 photo so far, but it's convinced me to put the car on the lift and finally start turning wrenches. 💗
 
I will post the images as they are processed and shared with me!

Nice! My friend Jesse goes there all the time. All he builds is crazy shit 24/7. He just build an adult Tree house this summer and it's pretty epic.
 

Ill be tackling some fun maintenance this weekend, trans and diff fluids and trying to raise the rear with some makeshift spacers. Exciting stuff. Hopefully it snows soon so I can actually get the snowboard out

WIBimmers these past few weeks:

We need more snow!

Yea I would like a new box but my early 2000's craftsman box is doing the trick for now
