Thought id start a gallery of my M50(to be)320i SE auto!
Ill post fresh pics up as i go about doing bits to it.
Plans are
Fit M50 Engine and box from 525i
Change headlining to Sport Black one
Sport leather in light Grey
Hartges
Replace rear skirt with correct Mtec1
Maybe 5 stud conversion(Budget???)
Chucked a set of Apex springs on it today as the Range Rover look was a bit much,will have the Bilstiens from my iS in time though,also fitted some clear front/side repeaters
Pics
The M50
Oh and thought id put this pic up of my garden this afternoon-Fook thy neighbour

Swapped the full front struts over,just springs on the rear-only a temp job for now a) to get rid of the 4x4 stance b)will be swapping for the Bilstein suspension off my 318is when it is finished(my iS is going to be broken and raped for this)

Mate my iS really isnt as good as it looks in the pics,presentable yes,mint it is not.
Got more than its fair share of dents and scratches,mainly on the back quarters,although it has no rust!
Not to worry though,all the parts/running gear will be sold on here,so all will go to a good cause!
