I would just opt for the 91 chip, the difference is not worth running 91 with a 93 chip..

Look it up on the forum, I remember MarkD answering this question :)

Very nice looking ride!

Just a few quick questions:

Why did you go from the E36 5 lug to the E30 M3 5 lug, what were the major differences or pros/cons?

The new rims you have, what type or brand are those and where can they be purchased?  About how much do they cost (new or used)?  I'm not up on all the BMW rim lingo - so I'm guessing they are the "M-Systems"?  Please tell me more about the rims, they look great!

What e-brake setup is that from (the leather handle and what appears to be leather boot)?

Caster and offset, plus I couldn't pass the deal on the E30 parts.  M-system are from an E34 M5.  They are OEM wheels.  They pop up for sale time to time on the forums and ebay.

Looks REALLY nice!

Who did the paint job?  $$$ ?

Had it done locally.  Cost me $600.  Lot of flaws though, that don't show up in pictures.  Good enough for my daily though.

Was that a Maaco job?  Did you do the prep or did they?

not Macco.  Just an independant guy.  He did do a good job on shaving the washer nozzles, key holes, and antenna.  He asked what kind of job I wanted done.  I said budget cause this is my daily.  He could of did show quality as he does alot of custom low riders with graphics and all.

Your car look really nice. I just used search function to find more pictures of it. I am moving my own also black car into the same direction. I used to have back in 1989 a new 325i with IS front lip, small back spoiler and 325 Touring side skirts. I suppose your skirts are Touring one as well?
I have all parts together except BBS wheels, have to save some funds first ;)
