21" alloys fitted and the ICE is in

Post by westside » Mon Jan 16, 2012 11:02 am

My 22" 3 piece summer wheels have finally been made and have been posted from the states at last! (ordered them back in Oct) meanwhile a set of 21" came up on flea bay which I couldnt refuse I did try but that damm buy it now button and lack of meetings at work made me do it.

Anyway here they are on the car

Waiting for the m6 RPI scoops to turn up so I can mod them and fit them behind the grills (there be white to match the brakes)

Image

I also had the ice finished off

JL XD 600/6 in the boot powering the focal slimline 5.25 components up front and the rear 4" focal components rear and the 8" earth quake subs under the seats
JL XD/600/1 powering the JL w6 13.5 sub in the boot

Audision bit 10 in there as well

Image
Image

Door cards all standard no telling whats behind there

Image

I had a similar set up in the 7 series and its crystal clear :-). The sub box you can just unclip so I can use the 7 seats

Audsionbit 10 being tuned to the car

I also had the outside black trim of the wing mirrors painted gloss black and the front bumper was also painted with all the matt black trims front and rear being sprayed gloss black...

Image

Now in addition to the wifes modded e90 my frined was moving to HK and asked me if i wanted to buy his e36 326 sport. I went to buy this car with him back in 2003 and have looked after it since then so I Couldnt say no

S reg 328 sport
sunroof
elec rear windows (option)
rear sun blind option (option)
73k
1 previous owner
18" original hartge rims
Original m3 mirrors
Angel eyes
Xenons

First thing was to get it mint so I had the front bonnet/roof/front bumper/front nose panel and m3 lip re painted. It has been sitting under a tree and not being used so the lacquar had seen better days and it was to far gone to flat and mop

Image
Image

When this was done i set about doing some paint correction on the side of the car and the boot to get rid of the horrible swirl marks and bring some depth to the paintwork

Outside pics when i got it home

Just the inside left to clean and the engine bay

I calle dthe previous owner as he is not leaving till Feb to show him the transformation.....he was impressed lol!

I love this pic

I must stop buying BMW but my first BMW was a e36 325 so I have a soft spot for them lol!

I do like those Style 215 wheels. Shame they're so blasted expensive! I wanted them for my X6 but had to settle with 214's instead - with 168's for winter.

£2590 without rubber from Alloy Wheels Direct. BMW price will be much worse, so yes you got a good deal. Lucky ..... :shutup:
