            Well, I came to the realization that the speakers I bought yesterday wont last long. They sound good though! I found a deal on MNBMW facebook from a year ago of a guy selling a New In Box E36 BAVSOUND Stage 1 upgrade kit for 300$. I tested my luck and it turns out the guy still has them. So that is the current route I am going.

            Its just unfortunate that there really isn't very many options when you want new speakers and OEM look. The 2 speakers that are making the sound are 150$ new from BAV auto. So I might as well upgrade everything for the same price.

                      Based on the marks it looks like it was either pulled or fell off. E36 life I guess.

                          Bought a used one for 30$. Gonna use 3m tape and make sure it never falls off again.

                                  Well alternator shit the bed Friday. Got the new one in today. Going to be getting the m3 bumper from @stealthbimmer soon.

                                  I am in the market for some Z3 offset style 32s (ET 41)

                                  and some m3 side trim.

                                    Got it tinted yesterday. I ended up going fully legal 50%35%

                                    If I could go back I would have done 35% all around.ff41d046978782f38a39308771d01b80.jpg80c3cd7bcaff66d572564b591dc3fcb0.jpg1bc4e785b6ebea743eb5fea0d31723fd.jpg

                                        Looks Good. 35% all around is the best IMO!

                                          Heat wave today. Decided to start working on my m3 front bumper!

                                          Before and after of the warp I worked out. I ended up heating the whole bumper with a heater then focused the heat gun on the warped area. I used a thing of wood and clamped it down till it cooled. Now it needs to be filled.

                                          I am going to start working on the cracks tomorrow. Does anyone have any suggestion beside JBweld plastic bonder to adhere the crack together? + fill some dents?

                                          (I know to Dremel the back of them out first and use renforcement mesh.)
