Title: Hello from D. Clay
Post by: D. Clay on March 12, 2006, 03:02:17 PM

Hello to all the M42 members. I just signed up. I have a 1991 318is that's just been repainted Diamondschwarz and I am in the process of reinstalling trim and a coilover kit to drop it some. I'm on the far south side of Austin, TX. Pictures were taken last week when it was 88 degrees.

welcome, car looks good and that paint looks great. Two things I would change if it was my car would be to paint the centers of those rims black and toss the sealed beams. But it looks great as is.

I like the exhaust tip.

Title: Exhaust tip.
Post by: D. Clay on March 14, 2006, 10:07:11 PM

I'll put up another picture from the left rear. The exhaust tip matches the outline of the rear skirt. I stumbled onto it in a low buck muffler shop. It's a weld on and cost $30. Too much money but I just had to have it. Some Ellipsoid's are definately in the future. The bling rims are a concession to my youngest daughter since I didn't paint it a candy color with so much clear coar that it was drippin'.
