A couple of pics - United Bimmer Community

Took a few shots this morning while she's still clean, these are the only ones that came out fairly okay. Yes, I know, she's all (mostly) stock, with grey skirts & bumpers, and yea, you can go on with the 4x4 suspension jokes, but she's never getting lowered

Anyway, this is as good as it gets for me . .

Thanks

Mechanically, the only "mod" I've done is the fan delete. As far as suspension, I switched from the stock Boge's to Bilstein HD's, and I went +2 with 215/45-17's all around. But that's about it. If I could do it over again, I'd go only +1, and get 16" wheels. All the bushings I replaced are stock OEM. I can't and I won't lower it; if you lived in Jersey City you'd understand, this pic should give you an idea:

Cels, that pic was taken at a car repair shop on Marin Blvd downtown, they were closed today, so the lot was empty

wow looks nice, i like the paintjob on your car, almost flawless

Its almost a mistake to put rims on your car in the north east. Steel rims with those great looking BMW hubcaps, oh that will look just fancy.

lol 54... Well around me the roads aren't too bad so after I recover from my tranny swap I might get some nice wheels

Yeeeea, Diamant Schwarz-Metallic FTW! Flawless? Not even close . . the trick is to shoot it at angles where you can't see the scratches and dings

Get some clear tail light , paint match the sideskirt and bumper then your car will be complete.

**Beater_Bimmer** · 05-29-2006, 02:20 PM

yea and a slight tint would really set it off.

Heh . .I knew I'd get suggestions sooner or later

The tail lights, yes. Side skirts and bumpers, maybe. But that would be after the tranny swap, which is after taking care of a few things for my house. But the tint, no way. I wouldn't mind, except tinting the front windows is illegal in NJ, and tinting just the back looks really retarded to me

Car Looks good

**catalyst** · 05-29-2006, 08:16 PM

I would paint the bumpers, fix up that trans, add a nicer looking exhaust, maybe add some interior goodies, and be done with the thing

Amazing how nice a 14 year old bimmer can look with a little tlc aint it?

Nice! It's so shiny!
