Alpine White Zender Kit E24 633CSI

[Jdesign]

Exhaust installed and hung! Looks really weird seeing pipes stick out the back of this thing again. I plan on putting some nice tips on it to clean it up a bit. 

I didnt take any pictures of the nice hanger I made but maybe I will once I install the tips.

Im thinking of ordering some Silverlines like the factory tips. They have a rolled outside edge.

I vote for those stock looking tips.

[P_Roloff]

Yeah those would look really nice. Otherwise, I’ve got some slant cut tips lying around that you could just have.

[Earl]

I agree on the silverline tips. Those would suit the car well

I gotta hear this!  Is this the only local M30 amongst us? or am I forgetting a 535i somewhere

[Jdesign]

Silverline tips ordered!  I think I might go home and get the car on lunch, so look forward to audio soon.

 Those are actually World Bumpers ^^^ I was looking for a set but they only came on the later model E24's. 

To answer your question though, Yes I have though about it. I thought about painting the entire car..

AND THANKS GUYS!!!!

Have not really touched this car in awhile. Partly because I have been working on other projects, and partly because I have been really busy at work. I did but something simple to install, and the next big purchase will be lowering springs and struts.

Keyless entry. I installed a similar unit on my E30 and its one of the greatest things ever. Plus I really had to squeeze my pockets for the $10.49. 

I have been slowly refinishing the Style 5's I bought for this, and they are about 50% done. barrels are stripped and polished, paint is mixed and waiting, I just need to finish sanding the centers. They should look pretty similar to the theme of these RS's when they are done minus the gold "BBS" logo, the caps I have a chrome:

Real logos are a little under $200 yes. I wont be buying real ones though. LOL

[Jdesign]

Very Excite. Wheels are almost finished. Faces are painted and lips are brushed. I need to do a final polish but im waiting on the center caps. 

I also finally made a decision and bought some Vogtland lowering springs. Now I just need to order struts. I will update with more pics onces the springs come in!
