Come on guys, I couldn't bear to see them on another car. I almost just scrapped them.
In all seriousness though, I put them on CList for the hell of it for a price I was very happy with. I got damn close to asking and the buyer was happy as well. I don't like using the forums as a way to make money flipping parts.

I always hated the way 17s looked, but I later found out that it was because people put little baby tires on them. I went to 17s, because I bought those rims and tired off Dr. Leadfoot with spacers for $350 I believe it was. Couldn't pass that up. Plus I think they fill in the wheel wells very nicely. (I haven't installed my Koni/H&R race setup yet.
Also, motor tear down in preparation for the new DME/Knock Sensors.

do the valley pan gasket while you have that open.
and do the two gaskets on the coolant crossover pipe on the back of the heads.
both would require this same level of teardown if they start leaking in the future.
also,
do a barrel roll.

?? not sure where you are looking. genuine BMW valley pan is $72. Febi brand is $57. taking the old pan off and scraping the old gasket and using a tube of permatex is like $5

I don't know either? I just looked again and you are right.
But where I am now I will have all my parts by Friday so this weekend I am pushing hard to fire her up and burn some tires. A little coolant leak won't hurt (didn't appear to be leaking anyway) until I dyno the motor and make sure she is up to snuff.

ECU was sent to the wrong address so I am battling that right now. Also, the engine harness I was sent was not the one I purchased so that is fun.
Definitely frustrating when I have the motivation, but not the parts.
Anyone know of any good painters that do work on the side? Looking to get some IS skirts and get a paint job over the winter.

Also need to title the car still.
Anyone have experience with registering as a collector/classic?
Thinking about "V 80 30" for the plate.
I'm pretty sure if you title as a collector/classic/hobbyist that you don't get to pick what the plate says. I was looking into hobbyist plates for my e21.

Hobby/collector plates are just a number in wi based off your collector Id. Dmv page has all the details.
This is correct unfortunately, they just assign you a number. I believe you are also not allowed to drive a car with collector plates in January. Registration used to be a one time fee and then good forever but I don't think that's the case anymore
-
Pay registration once and that's it
Only pay to transfer it to a different car
-
Yes it's $200 for first time and there is a specific dmv form to get a temp plate for collector cars in January do year round isnt an issue. As Kaiser said plates are good forever until a transfer is needed.

If you plan on putting on fender flares and things like that you will need to get hobbyist plates, antique/collector plates require that the vehicle is fairly original in appearance.
Also I was wrong about the perminant registration, I had heard they were getting rid of it
