Hey guys, My name is mick and im 18. When i was 16 i received this 1986 BMW 325es. Completely stock (infact the radio didnt work). So i started off slow. I put an alpine head unit in. After blowing about 3 sets of eclipse speakers i got some diamond audio component mid range speakers. Bought after blowing some no name sub i bought a 12 inch audiobahn aw121. its being powered by a pioneer amp. Then i put a flowmaster exhaust on there. Sounds nice and deep not like those shitty 50 dollar shucks exhaust. Then i lowered it on eibach springs. Then i found a set of really nice 17 inch knock off rims on craigslist. Put a momo corse racing seat in there, but i really dont like it anymore. Finally i was sick of having my car look the way it does so i started a project. I started sanding my car down in a friends garage over winter break. Over about 3 months i got the car totally prepped for paint. I also had the rear deck fully shaved. the front bmw logo shaved, all the side moldings taken off and holes shaved. So it was about 10 different colors for awhile. finally about a month ago i got it painted at a local shop in town. They did a really good job.

This is with wheels and lowered

About halfway done with the sanding. I decided to take all the bumpers off and get that stuff painted seperately so that it would look better once everything was painted and back together.

Different angles of the prep.

Took me 7 hours to sand down this front valance. Turned out really nice though.

Also decided to paint the plastics.

So here is the final product thus far. I painted it e36 m3 silver. Also called arctic silver metallics. Really modernized the car i think. decided to go with a silver and black scheme.car no longer has angel eyes but has clear glass euro cut headlights, with 30000k hids. 3000k fog hids are next.  also have added 7inch indash screen and got a clean pair of black heated vaders out of a 99 m3 and custom fabbed brackets for them to sit in. will have pics up soon.

Here are some pics with the smoked tailights and turn signals. Also just another pic of my rims closer up. haha the tire is a little dirty.

I'm thinkin....Changin the wheels to bbs rs rims or 540i deep dish rims and rolling the fenders out.  also am getting a limited edition nardi steering wheel. got into a little bit of trouble with the law lately so haven't had the money to do anything else.
