One year later. (56k might have a little trouble)

It's been a year since I've joined here with the second bimmer of my life. First one met a tragic end at the hands of a tree. I'd like to thank all of you guys here for supporting, and of course all of the advice I've recieved over this past year. It just wouldn't be as fun without a community of enthusiasts who you know are there for you. So, thank you guys so much. Here's to another year of help and hopefully returning some of the knowledge I've gained here.

When I first got her:

Looks sharp. The new wheels look so much better. Any reason you didn't black out the chrome below the windows?

[angrypancake]

I removed the top part and painted it to see how it looked. I love it, and rather than paint the bottom part, I picked up OEM shadowline. it's in the mail.

Yea, shadowline would complete the look, in my opinion.

It's amazing what some tint with rims can do to the look of a car - yours now looks sweet. The dude that designed the m-pars must've had the e34 in mind, cause those suckers go better on these cars than seemingly any other wheel, kinda like the turbo-twist wheels on 911s

Damn, looking sweet man!

Only thing Im not feeling is the red on the interior... I think you should go all black... but Im not a fan of loud interior colors... so thats just my opinion... its your car... dont let me sway you :)

[angrypancake]

its going all black with red alcantara :)

[hakwuzhere]

noice!!!! Now that idea I like! :)

Im doing the black and tan thing in my car... still hunting for a tan no wood passenger door panel... but after that the interior mods start.. CarPC, Alcantara headliner, rear shelf, pillars and door panels... black dye at the top of the door panels and black dash top (either dye'd or purchased)...
