All sorts of coolness in those photos. Fantastic. Call me a goof, but I really dig the lights on the floor of the back seat.


Beautiful car!

Ugh....Thanks Roadmax, now I NEED to try to source a first aid kit.



Also, noob question here, but what is that blue thing above the first aid kit?



Great looking car. OEMFTMFW

I was wondering the same thing. Looks like a container of welding rods, just in case something large falls off. I figured it meant you also had a Premier Power Welder (http://www.premierpowerwelder.com/) installed as well.

That'd be nuts!!! LOL



However, I google "E36 first aid kits" and found another photo with the same set-up. IDT it was his as this photo had a black first aid kit and the same blue box.



IDK, but dammit I need the kit now!!

The blue box probably contains the roadside warning triangle or flares.

[m3f_roadmax05_9a74387a48]

The blue container: is BMW warning triangle (this is mandatory in Europe and good idea to have it her Iin US as well). It is attached to 2 anchors that open close quickly in required situations.

There was a CD changer there but I have moved the CD change, now it is located in the glovebox compartment in form of BMW USB, see my post #41 second picture.

I have one more BMW first aid kit and also a warning triangle FS if you are interested.

[m3f_roadmax05_9a74387a48]

BMW warning triangle pictures for those not familiar with it.

Ans speaking of roadside assistance BMW parts that are stored in the trunk.

So I just felt left out and had to post a pic since I just washed her and happened to be in a garage for work. There is a stock ds2 in the trunk. Underneath there is tck BUT all new oe rubber (all), new ball joints, tie rods, Sachs clutch, etc. I think all that new oe goodness makes up for the wheels. There might be e46 seats in there too.

Factory original FAIL.


Cool wheels, but between the shocks, wheels, seats, tint... not OEM.

[m3f_Sharocks_296f0b7c97]

E46 M3 seats instead of Vaders? You traded bad seats for worse seats? Teh hell?

When is the last time you saw a vert with the top UP? Just finished a pretty thorough cleanup here at my mother's place and I want to document that yes it's (nearly) 100% stock...before I start messin' with it. The Dinan strut bar and ZHP knob are it right now, but a Stromung exhaust is going on next week and that's probably just the beginning.

Still need to do a real cleaning on the interior, but at least the carpet has been vacuumed.

Like someone else said, might be my favorite pic.

The only real "mod" right now, but that's changing soon.

Ok, finally got a chance to clean the old girl up a bit after all the recent work on her and a short vacation drive over the holiday. Too bad it was a bit overcast today so the shots turned out kinda dark. Oh well.



She is 100% OE in all ways that count. The single mod, and not really a mod, are the SS brake lines I installed on the last brake job. That is it. Anyway, enjoy!
