The One That Didn't Get Away [100K Mile E30 325is]

I second that. It’s not worth the risk of blowing the motor if it lets go. Also, might want to get to that fan clutch before it grenades, I’ve seen some gnarly pictures of ones where the fan let go, not pretty.
I’ve already purchased, should be here in a couple of days.
I’ll keep that in mind for the timing belt.

Some pictures from last night. Not completely satisfied with these, need to do some more playing around with night shooting, car angle, camera angle, etc. Going to be doing a lot more experimenting in this location though. Ton of different lighting levels and background options to work with, just didn't have a ton of time.
This lighting really tells all in terms of your paint quality. This thing needs a paint correction badly.

Shit that thing is clean

Some RS 069's eh?
Edit: 0-6-9, she's so fine ...... go low, go low, go low

New wheels. E39/E38 Style 5's. 16x8, 23ET. Will be running 4x100 to 5x120 42 Draft Designs adapters. Wheels will be wrapped in 205/45/16 Kuhmo Ecsta PS31.
Tires on these are in almost new condition, so will have those dismounted and will sell them. Should be close to breaking even on what I paid for the wheels and tires.
Old wheels will be posted for sale shortly. Took them off the car and put the stock wheels back. I kind of dig this look.
When my buddy who runs a wrap business has space in his schedule, I'm going to have him wrap the window trim black. Think it will really change the look of the car. And then can always go back to the chrome if I can my mind.
My fan issue was actually not with my clutch fan. Turns out the resistor(I assume)is "stuck" open on my auxiliary fan, so it is just always running. Not nearly as concerning, but would still like to fix the issue. I've seen there's something like changing a relay or fuse of the fog-lights to the one for the fan and that by passes? I don't know, I'll likely just get a new resistor.
Got my small maintenance parts package as well. New VCG, rocker shaft cover plug, crankcase breather hose, air filter, spark plugs, and a clutch for the fan. Will start this probably throughout the week.

Buy some flow formed wheels, will make those 14s feel like they’re made out of lead lol

I must be a n00b because those stock wheels look just like the Style 5's you bought, lol.

They’re pretty much exactly the same except for the center waffles. These have the hex, other wheels have more of a flush center. Also the dimensions of the wheels.

I had looked at these, but for $65? The plugs cost me $2

It is known.
I've been meaning to get some of those, what size are the plugs?
