Hey guys, wanted to make my first post here an introduction. My name's Shane, I'm from Racine, but I spend a lot of time over the weekends at my gf's in Milwaukee. I have always loved BMW's, and finally bought my first one this past June. I picked up a 1993 325i, in great shape, rust free. Black on black, with 167xxx miles.
I have spent a lot of time (and money) restoring the missing or broken pieces, and making sure the maintenance has been taken care of.
Since I bought it I did:
Inspection 2
Oil change
New tie rod ends
Rebuilt steering rack
Water pump
Thermostat
hoses
Mishimoto aluminum radiator
coolant flush
Fan mod delete
soldered comfort relay
Outside of maintenance:
M3 door molding with motorsport badges
yellow fog lights
smoked corners
smoked tail lights
Dj Auto head lights with angel eyes
Black Vaders and sedan rear seat

Also forgot to mention in a box in my living room, I have all the bushings needed to rebuild the entire rear end of my car. I also have 328is sport sways with new endlinks to install in place of my nonsport sways. Not a big upgrade, but should help tighten things up a little bit. Also in the next day or two I will be ordering new brakes, meyle rotors and hawk hps pads.

Welcome, liking the interior swap.
Oh yea, I love my $285 full power heated vaders and m3 sedan rear seat! haha.

Just a heads up. I have HPS + pads and they are very loud. I don't mind because I live and breath the "because racecar" mentality (which is stupid).... BUT i wouldn't dream about getting them for my daily driver. The HPS might not be as loud...
Just food for thought.

Yea I had HPS pads on my last car, 05 Subaru Legacy GT, and I liked them a lot. Good feel to them. And for $30 more than oem bmw pads for front and rear, I think I'm going to get those.
