That interior is AWESOME!! And looks to be in great shape too.

Thanks!! Yeah Its in good shape. theres a few things that I need to address yet but its getting there. It sucks all the drivers seats tear like that.

those stepped RS look great, but at $2500 for just the lip/barrels, ouch.

I can get Lips and barrels for $1200 shipped right now.... thus why im considering it.

[P_Roloff]

I love the interior, those sills are pretty different!

And I really like those RS’s stepped, I’d say go for it. I’d imagine that they’d sell for a lot more if you ever got rid of them if they were stepped and cleaned up a bit.

[m42b32]

I actually really like the 16's, with the right stance and some meaty tires they could look awesome

[YoungCR]

Agreed on the 16"s

[jc43089]

16" is the way to go.  Too big doesn't look quite right on old cars in my opinion.

[Earl]

I don't mind 18's on e24's but 17's are the perfect size to me. 16's just always look a hair small and oddly they look smaller when you lower the car. 

17's for comparison to above=)

[Earl]

The massive slant lips don't help make the 18's look any smaller. These Kinesis are 18's but don't quite look as large.

[Earl]

Might as well throw in a picture of how small 16's look too. Ignore the miles of wheel gap lol

[straight6pwr]

so i'm thinking m70 twin turbo would fit nicely under the hood.

[Jdesign]

Those tires are soooo small on the 16's @Earl LOLOLOL

Im picking up the set of 17 style 5's tonight so I will be right in between.

You stop that. 

But I like your idea......

But for consistency sake, I would probably put something non-BMW in there.

That steering wheel looks oddly similar to an 80s bikini bottom.

I mean, thats not a bad place to look for inspiration is it?

[Jdesign]

Picked up the Style 5's this weekend and test fit them. The tires are way too small and completely destroyed. I plan on refinishing them while the RS's stay on the car. Then once they are refinished I will swap them out and refinish the RS's

I also ordered the last of the front suspension parts last week from FCP and went to install them this weekend.

I got everything apart, go the new control arms in, but noticed the Tie rods were slightly different.... Yup totally an inch too long on either side. I assume its e12 stuff and I will be contacting FCP today to get that situated. Ughhh SO close

I also ordered exhaust piping for replacing the muffler that was rotted out, that has yet to show up so I haven't been able to cross that off quite yet. 

Parts to order / find

• Tie rods   (DAMMITTT)
• Steering Arm
• Trailing Arms
• Suspension Control Arm and Ball Joint 
• Ball joints
• Front valanc
• Shift Bushing
• Muffler/ rear exhaust
• Front springs
• Speakers (4 minimum)

• fog lights   
• Door light switch
• Right rear window switch (in the rear of the car)     @YoungCR  -and might have this?

You should add some 50mm spacers to that list too

I know!!! I haven't yet because I might just have some in a box.....

[Jdesign]

I know @m42b32 It was sad. I had a battery in there, and I needed it for another car I bought, and when I removed it, the long bolt snapped halfway out. Really annoying because now I have to figure out a new means of securing the battery.

I get a little scared every time I need to take one of those out, its such a long/thin bolt!
