Exterior Design BMW 318i

 
Exterior Details

  • Recent high-quality repaint in original color (Diamondschwarz Metallic): bumpers off, door jambs painted w/ original VIN tags taped.
  • DOT-4 OEM BMW passenger quarter panel (no sign of reason/no damage when inspected for repaint). All other VINs match.
  • Rust-free (always been - GA car).
  • New M3 windshield (mounts flush unlike base E30 one, and has more aerodynamic curved shape) and gasket/seal.
  • New OEM E30 M3 Evo flush hood seals.
  • Shadowlined.
  • Have the pictured black kidneys (standard SEM trim paint), but I tired of the look and put chrome back on. Choose whichever you want.
  • Euro trim front and back (deletes all side markers).
  • Rims: 17” x 7” Racing Hart C4 Style Reps (4X100X114.3 Offset: 40mm Center bore: 72mm) – hubcentric, direct fitment with no spacers required!
  • Tires: brand-new 215 40R17 Falken Ziex – sticky and they clear with no rubbing ever, even at full lock. Tires just went on this week, and come with roadhazard certificates good nationwide. Discount Tire even states that if there is no store near you, you can buy a replacement tire from someone else and they will reimburse you!
  • Euro smileys (yes, flush glass).
  • Euro license plate filler.
  • Fogged turn signal lights. Also have Abraham Motorsports turn signal lights/inserts (new in box/not installed).
  • Installed HIDs and hated them so they are out and now has four SilverStar halogens which look & function great.
  • Clear Lamin-X: 20mil on headlights and high beams, 40mil on fogs.
  • OEM fog glass (instead of replacement plastic ones) with new seals and brackets. Drivers side has a crack that has never leaked, even before the Lamin-X install.
  • New taillights (enclosures). Not a fan of all-red tails, so these are stock.
  • E46 decklid spoiler
  • EJ-05704 and 24V E30 euro plates do not come with the car (sentimental value).
