Well I've been doing some research and found out some more things the car has. Few things not mentioned below are Big brake upgrade from e34/e32, m5 sway bars both of which I knew just forgot to mention below. New things I was not aware of include poly filled bushings on control arms, & M6 steering box. I just added an Mtech I steering wheel today. The steering wheel officially marks the first mod that is my own.

This car has a few euro goodies on it already that the PO installed. Has the rear headrests, & rear parcel shelf with rear sunshade. Has a SAAB moonroof, B&B exhaust, Bilstein HD's, m5 trunk liner, m5 rear view mirror w/ map light, shadowline trim. All I can think of right now. No modifications are mine yet. All I've done is put a dash cover on it to protect the non cracked dashboard. Just bought a car cover for it too.

Shot of the moonroof and the car at the gas station on the way home from purchasing it.

B&B exhaust (a little crooked) and again, but a slight view of rear headrests.

My535is This car is sold. I miss it a lot already, but it went to a new owner who wil appreciate it once they get it going. I heard plans of a m106 swap so we'll see.
Pics of the new ride soon to come.....

edit.... someone spotted my car after I sold it at Bimmerfest '08. Looks like it got a new paint job, wheels and completely swapped out interior. Only reason they recognized it was because of the license plate.
