New guy with a not so new M.

Panjo killed bimmerforums, then photobucket finished the jobs on the rest of them. Here isn’t hugely active but if you need help people are usually quick to jump on it.

I'm having garage envy over here... Looks nice!

+2 for sure!

+1 The knowledge here is outstanding. A newb like myself has been impressed with the help I've gotten and seeing what these cars are capable of.

I've tried to do my reading to prevent stupid, dead horse topics but even when I've not done enough, folks are forgiving.

I also think the car culture has moved on from the e36. Also there are very few good examples with people who want to maintain them properly left. Also because they’ve been around for so long, there’s not much to discuss on them and no breakthroughs to make. This forum does have some of the better restoration threads though, especially lately.

Started my interior restoration yesterday by tearing down the new sets I got.

Now I need to pull the seats out of car and tear them down. I think Im am going to take all 4 seats and put together the 2 best sets of backs and bottoms to make 2 nice ones. I also need to pull the rear seat, door cards, and headliner. Im hoping to work on that a little this week, but its hard without the garage.

Do you run a square wheel setup or spacers on the fronts?

Spacers. I cant remember the width off the top of my head though.

[m3f_Mpower5266]

Finally started on the seats. It will be a slow build but Im trying to do a little bit here and there as I have time. Last night I cleaned and smoothed out some previous repairs on the seats.

I believe I have 10mm spacers. I think 8 will work but 10 is easier to source.
