Meant ot post this in member profiles, woops. Kinda fits here though, haha.

Bought this about two weeks ago for a daily driver. 1991 318is. Bone stock. 118k. The cloth sport interior is absolutely awesome, looks brand new. It's going to get tint, euro grilles, shocks and springs, swaybar, and a chip soon enough. I have an OEM lighted shift knob that I need to install ASAP.

Great find, especially at that mileage. Hope you enjoy it.

P.S. I'll go ahead and relocate to member profiles.

Thanks for all the compliments. I took a few quick pictures this afternoon so I figured I'd post them up.

Since I last took pictures, I got Euro smilies and grilles, Apexcone HIDs, 20% tint, and installed a rear plate filler. I went halves with a friend and bought a $150 dollar E30 that had Bilstein sport shocks and H&R sport springs, which are now on my car. I bought myself an analog clock for my birthday. I got rid of that terrible shift knob and bought an ///M illuminated shift knob off a friend. And I installed all new iS lip clips. 2 of the 10 were missing and 6 of the 8 that were on the car were broken. Lastly, ST 22mm/19mm sways are coming in about a week.

Here are the pics:

That car's really coming along. I love the smileys, I need to spring for a set.

That's the first white 318is that got me going hmmm! Have you considered white rockers and rear lower panel? Just my opinion, though. Sway bars make the car come alive. A stiffer front bar was the most dramatic change that I have made on mine. I've had Euro smilies for about six months and an illuminated shift knob. When I put the knob in, I went back out after it got dark to see how it looked. My wife thinks I am obsessed but I prefer "dedicated".

Thanks a lot guys, it means a lot.

I have thought of painting the rockers and lower rear valence, but I saw pictures on r3v recently and it just didn't look right for some reason, I have no idea why. I also have a set of Taurus skirts, but every white car I've seen them on it looks very out of place, so I haven't done anything with them. It seems like some cars can pull them off and others can't. I'll probably just end up throwing them out.
