WIBIMMERS

I went a little backwards a few days ago and tore out most of the interior. I was hesitant but it kind of needed to be done sooner or later. I really want to pull the carpet, but that might be too far at this stage. The plan was to hunt down the factory speaker wires and remove them due to the car having premium sound, and upgrade to standard +/- speaker wire that all heads to the back seat of the car. I managed to remove everything needed and cleaned up unused wires for who knows what previously.  [image: RYHJ7618.JPG] I ordered a full Infiniti reference component set to replace all the speakers and tweeters. Man I had no idea the factory tweeter housings were so expensive for what they are ($150 a side!?) I carefully removed the old tweeter which was glued in really well and mocked up the new ones. Sadly as I was about to trim the housing my rotary tool died, so I ordered a new one and didn't get to finish last night. [image: IMG\_2113.JPG][image: BNEL7209.JPG][image: ERWV6669.JPG] I moved onto the head unit area which I think I mentioned before, but I will not be running a head unit, as my amp connects directly to my phone. So I ordered a single din storage tray/ dual cup holder combo to fit in its place. This was the only one I could find that I knew would fit and wasn't overly complicated. I wasn't please with the quality as it felt cheap and the trays pulled out loosely and uneven as there are no guides/ slides for the drawers. I fixed this by adding felt to the inside edges of the drawers which completely changed the feeling of them. This made such a huge difference. I also added some green felt inside the drawer to class it up a bit.  [image: IMG\_2081.JPG][image: IMG\_2083.JPG][image: IMG\_2085.JPG] That's all for now until I finish the tweeters and get the amp mounted. I plan on building an enclosure in the void between the rear seat and the trunk for a sub eventually, but for now this is a huge improvement.

Well its 3 years since I've updated anything about this car. It seems like its time. I bought a set of BC coilovers for it, but then sold them to a friend that needed them in a pinch and he gave me a set of maxpeepees to put on the car so I didn't have to fight with the lifted set. My friend Mark who runs slidesociety has been hassling me about learning to drift with this car and I agreed, which made me make the decision to put it back to a state were I could actually drift it again. Another  friend of mine; Anthony, his brother, and two friends were over at my shop earlier this year and they were excited to help work on this car. So with their help we were able to revert the car back and make a list of changes. Here is what was done and changed; Lowered back down on new maxPP coilovers New E46 front control arms / Lollies / Balljoints / Etc. Install the CF sunroof panel and remove the broken cassette Clean out the interior and rid it of all the random clutter that its acquired over time (no more raccoon skull) Remove the roof rack and fill the holes  Reinstall the fenders and the bumpers Install the SLT mirrors Mock up and build side skirts and filler vents for the fenders Test fit new wheels. Ive had a set of AREs I really wanted to run but they are too wide for the front (17x11). I also bought a set of 3PC Enkie Winsomes a while back but never mounted tires to them. Well I finally got around to mounting tires and they are pretty fitting for the car. Anthony, his brother, and two friends all took one corner of the car, and together they peeled all the plastidip off of the billet Hawks. I forgot how great those wheels look polished and I cant thank them enough for getting them back to this state, I never would have taken the time to do that. ARE's [image: IMG\_3797.jpeg][image: IMG\_3798.jpeg] Centerline Hawks [image: IMG\_3830.jpeg][image: IMG\_3833.jpeg][image: IMG\_3835.jpeg][image: IMG\_4422.jpeg] Here you can see the side skirts I'm building. Oddly enough, they are from a Charger Hellcat cut and sectioned to fit. I have material to make a vented fender filler and a functional front splitter as well.  Enkie Winsomes [image: IMG\_4845.jpeg][image: IMG\_4848.jpeg] Finally my friend Austin came over with his friend and wanted to shoot some pics and video of the car, so here's some pictures I took with my phone of the car that evening. [image: IMG\_4386.jpeg][image: IMG\_4392.jpeg][image: IMG\_4395.jpeg][image: IMG\_4398.jpeg] And after a few months, I did manage to get it out to the Slide society season opener too, but I only got a handful of laps in before the slave cylinder started to fail. Thus the car is now sitting for another date when I have time to fix that add a bunch of go fast engine parts to it.  [image: IMG\_4894.jpeg][image: IMG\_4888.jpeg][image: IMG\_4885.jpeg] I also have future plans to paint the car with a modern looking livery and tint the windows...again. The red tint is still on there, but its completely faded clear. I guess sitting outside for an entire summer really took a toll.  This is kind of the idea and color palate I have in mind for the livery; [image: SOLO 86 - Business in the front - Party in the back.

straight6pwr said: glad to hear the deal went through! whats next? i feel like an e31 is up your alley. I would LOVE to find one. But I am trying to stay away from getting more cars that I plan to "keep."  This one was totally worth keeping, but I didn't really have a use for it and it was a distraction from other projects( E30) that I wanted to focus on. If I did happen to find a new keeper at this point, its likely to be a wagon.

I love M20 builds. I wish there were more around although the idea of a swap has crossed my mind a lot lately.

m42b32 said: Pretty good show I would say! I think they said there were 84 BMW's there in total. Notable ones (to me at least) were an M2, Isetta, 20000CS, a couple e30 m3's, and a 503 cabriolet. Didn't get any pictures unfortunately.  I'd say a 503 is pretty fucking notable!  Hot damn!

494.80 labor for 2008 135i I would want to shop around for the clutch kit.

Too bad, keep your coolant fresh folks! Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk

Wow, beautiful car man! Sometimes I wish I would of went with the M3.

Those have to be the best looking wheels BMW ever made.

Looks great! I look forward to seeing you cruising the streets of Oshkosh (dodging pot holes).

watertown.E39. said: Competition bass? Do you have any current builds going on? Yes, I am currently building my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee.  Build is 4 18" Crossfire SPLv2s in a 4th order wall.  Its my first wall, so I hope it turns out well.  Amps are not yet purchased but I will probably run 4 Taramps HD8000s, with a couple big Juicebox LiFePo4 batteries.   Pics of subs..

Great car im not familiar with big audio system installs but wouldnt that rattle all sorts of things (interior bits mostly) loose over time? It can rattle some things apart, but where I want to end up its more of a tearing door seams and metal parts and breaking the latches  [image: ;)] jc43089 said: The boom is not in the BMW, have any pics? Sent from my potato phone Here is a pic of the jeep (in the beginning when the wall just started.. It has changed ALOT since this point like moved back behind pillars ect..)

I was curious if any of you can or know someone that can remove small minor dents and scratches for cheap. Not looking to spend much at all, just hoping they can be fixed real quick. They are very minor things, but they are fair enough to be bothersome to search for a helper. Located around the Milwaukee area.

Feel free to bring me back a euro e30.... or a wagon. It would be much appreciated! And I think you could consider that your carry on!
