I bought this car back in the fall of 2009. Super clean, one owner, fairly low miles. Topaz blue metallic. Sadly its a 525 automatic. The only reason I have kept the car for as long as I have is the simple fact that it is so incredibly clean, and the chump change I would get for it would just be so disappointing. Anyhow..
Here it is the day I got it
Then came the BCR coilovers
Rocked it like this for a minute until I could afford different wheels
Then I found some style 118's 18x8s from a 6 series
Well, as I was (and actually am), still poor, I gave them a vintage gold paint job with a matte clear to hold me over for a bit until new wheels were an option
Then I found my kinda dream wheels on craigslist. Some clown had them on an e46 smashing up his fenders with the crazy offset and his stock blown struts. 18x10 and 18x8.5 rondell 21s I traded my stock 16s for them. He had no idea the value of these wheels so I win right?
Wrong. Turns out all 4 were bent pretty badly, and one had been welded. I didnt notice until I removed the tires after I got them. The tire shop said they were not worth using. So one became a hose reel and 2 became a very nice end table.
My computer is being crazy slow, so the story stops for tonight. At this point it is around 2014 so I have some more to add. Until tomorrow... Thanks for looking.
