Its not fun cleaning a car, and I'm starting to see a few effects the winter weather has had on my bodywork, and the abuse the interior has had so once the good weather comes I will get cracking on sorting that.

Looks really tidy! I also love the interior. But it looks like it's on stilts! Any plans to lower it a bit, or are you keeping it original?

A 40mm drop may look good, But tbh I quite like the originality of it. Its got plently of other little jobs that need doing before I get to that stage anyway.

You need bashing on the head with a m20 sump. Then again your plans would chance the next day so it would still be on stilts for the next 4 years ;)

He has already fooked 1 E30 ffs don't take any notice of him. Any news from them important meatings about turbo m30? I didn't think so. Ollie your car is by far the best first car I reckon of anyone your age. Looks sweet, and nice tastestful mods.
A little drop and bbs 15" wheels it will be perfect.

Thanks Dezzy.

I acutally quite like the 4x4 suspension, suits the era of the car.
I am going to treat it to some new fluids & filters very shortly.

I'm coming around to the early valance, it gives more of a shark look that BMW's of older had.
It will be good to see your 325i aswell Rob. I've already started to tidy up little bits on my chromie, ready.

I'm dead chuffed with what I've achieved today.

Next step is sorting out the rear quarter.
If its nice weather Sunday I should get something done.
What are you overhauling your suspension with? Are you giving it a nice subtle drop? Or is it all oem stuff?

The E36 is filthy so will wash that tomorrow if the weather holds out - might do the bronzit turd as well if I get time or maybe on Sunday
