dude quoting a response is not too difficult..just hit the "quote" button on whichever post you want to respond to.

when i want to quote multiple posts i just open up each quote on a separate page and just copy and paste everything into one response.

i still haven't figured out how the multi-quote works..




oh and to keep it on topic, keep us posted on the oil leak problem!

Is that thing even stock?  I had no idea at all that our cars came with moonroofs.

Have your dad ditch his 318i steel wheels
« Reply #21 on: January 10, 2007, 11:27:45 PM »
& the hubcaps.  I just replaced my steel wheels on my 91 318i with some E30 bottlecap wheels.  They are a dime a dozen at the pik-a-part yard.

The best E30 color combo IMHO is black with tan interior.  I have a black with black interior 318i which I replaced with a tan interior from my 91 318i parts car.  It now looks so much better with the tan interior and bottlecaps.  I pulled the new tires off the steel wheels  from the parts car and mounted them on the bottlecaps (BF Goodrich Traction TA's).  

Congrats on your score, I see you are missing your E30 center caps, they go for $62 each, so hang on to them if you have them.

I relinquish the cosmoline title I have regrettably held for some time. I lust after some of the engine compartments I see. They were probably resprayed while the motor was out. May be the photos but are you missing part of the windshield seal strip?
As to paint, it's about  $500 for primer, base, and clear coat in Glasurit, Spies-Hecker, Sikkens, etc. It's the same in Dupont and PPG for their top of the line. You can get lower quality and price in Dupont and PPG but not the the first three.
