Below is the latest picture taken of my 1997 BMW E36 M3 Saloon.

The picture below shows the latest lighting upgrade I installed a few months ago.  The new headlight I installed are the Hella Celis H7 Chrome Angel Eyes, although pricey at $700 they are absolutely worth every penny!  The Hella Celis Headlamps are by far the best of the 4 different Headlight upgrade sets I have purchased over the last 5 years.  Not only have they made the car look much nicer but they make a huge difference where it matters, behind the wheel.  The increase to  both near and distance visibility is more than dramatic, it's truly like I am driving a completely different car and nearly identical to the visibility of the Xenons on my 2006 330ci ZHP Coupe.

Check out Page 5 I just added it and new pictures off all the upgrades and updates I have done to the car. I Think finally it is looking more like I have wanted it to. I am still working on a few things but they are very minor

A picture of my car before I switched out the Breyton wheels back in December 2005.

Although I Now Have An Active Autowerkes or AA Tuning Gen 3 High Flow High Polished 304 Stainless Steel Exhaust System. 

Back in 2004 I had CEC In Santa Monica Order Me A Real Remus Exhaust System (Not The Fake BS eBay Remus Exhausts Often Sold To Buyers) . 

The Exhaust System Was Finally Installed After Waiting Over 4 Months For It.

Since It Was Imported From Austria, I Fell Pray To A Screwed Up Deal Which Kept It Sitting In A U.S. Customs Warehouse In Long Beach, CA Due To The Dock Workers Union Strike That Took Place.
