Looks nice. You should spray the wheels gun metal grey or black and polish the lip. That always looks good.

Think I will spray the rims just stealth black. Polishing those 17 is gonna be a lot of pain

But the end result will be worth it :p
Although even without it'll be a good look.

WOOOHOOOOO DON!!!!!
The car looks great! And a Coupé aswell! Now you only need to complete the M3 exterior (you're missing the sideskirts, rear bumper and the wing). Don't change the wheels colour mate, it looks GREAT as it is (well ok, the rear wheels could use alittle offset).

Just remember to keep oile on that M44, as they do NOT like to run just alittle low on it, their oilepickup is rather week.
Also they suffered from a Cam sensor going bad, altho this is limited to '96-'97 models. This is a factory recall, so if your turns bad, you can get it replaced by BMW free og charge

Thanks! How do you know if the cam sensor is going bad? I got some weird engine prob if it's cold (running at 300-400rpm), but hope Stevie fixed it today (clean intake and stuff).

My first mod will be detach those lexus look angel shizzle

The sensor actually just gives you an "engine check" and a sets the ECU into emergency mode. It could also prevent your engine from starting.

As for the low idle, that could be something as trivial as a vacuum hose

But post some more pictures Don! I wan't to see more of it

Best...... Seats...... EVER
Altho I prefere the fabric once, since I don't slide around on it compared to the leather once

But looks like a nice little project. By GF and I, repaired a set of leather sofa's when we moved in together, and it's actually not hard at all. And they still look great after 7 months of everyday usage
So just get cracking Don, I know you can make them prestine again

Engine bay looks clean and well looked after
On closer inspection, the headlights look like Hella DE's with Celisrings (angle eyes)
If thats correct, then Don I would NOT change them to the originals!
The DE lens of the newer Hella's, are FAR better in the dark, compared to the stock Hella items.

And M3 rear section on the bumper aswell
As I said before, you only need the skirts and you're set!
You've already got one of the best looking set of rims for the E36
