Hey guys, here's a thread on my 1997 4dr 318i. I bought it in march 2014. I changed a few things since and wanted to share the progress with all of you stance enthusiasts!

So here's what it looked like when I bought it last year.

First mod was a new engine: M52B28.Also changed the interior a bit: black leather seats from a 328. I don't have any pictures of the process though.

Did a lot of body work (there was a little rust here and there and some bumps).

As you can see I installed an aftermarket M3 front bumper and a OEM M3 rear bumper. I almost went for the LTW wing but I changed my mind last minute. Just don't think it looks that good on a sedan..

Painted it with a custom color, blue with a tint of green. I love it.

I received my wheels today! Found them on this forum actually. Custom 3 pieces BMW style 3 wheels made by Indywidual Wheels in Poland (check them out on Facebook they do amazing stuff with old OEM wheels!). 9x17 and 10x17

Oh and this is how the car looks right now. Clean but not quite what I have in mind for 2015!
