Came home with this: ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/sedlmeier101/DSC_0003-6.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/sedlmeier101/DSC_0003-6.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/sedlmeier101/DSC_0010-5.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/sedlmeier101/DSC_0010-5.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/sedlmeier101/DSC_0006-6.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/sedlmeier101/DSC_0006-6.jpg) Sorry for the crappy photos…car is filthy… Basically it’s a 1996 328is, FULLY converted to an m3. Everything from the motor,trans,rear end…even to the interior peices. Obviously the car is far from clean cosmetically wise, I plan on replacing the front bumper and fixing some of the dents. Mechanically the car is great. I plan on doing the preventative maintenance asap (radiator,water pump and pipes) As for mods, I may pick up the H&R cup kit… it already has Hawk HP+ pads and UUC slotted rotors. It’s basically going to be my summer fun car (dunville and such) I’ll get some better shots after it’s all cleaned up. PS if anyone has any m3 parts they are willing to sell,let me know! ---

h&r cup kit is super soft, I don’t recommend. If you want I have h&r sports and bilstein sports from my 95 m3 I’d sell. I decided today to keep my e30 (after my 328 has caught so much flack) so i don’t yet know what else will be available and what will go to my e30 (s50 is going e30 for sure). I’ll let you know what I decide if you’d like. I’ll sell the cf hood for like $425 ---

Ditch the amber tails, ditch the headlights for zkw’s. Looks like could use a new front bumper. Get some BBS LM rep’s with gold centers (so hot) get a few sets of tires for summer fun, and call it a day 🙂 ---

zhp knob is sex, reduces the throw like a half inch. there’s a dealer on bimmerforums selling them cheap, check the gb section. or if that’s what ryan has for sale, buy his! shitty pic of my interior but you get the idea ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v727/Coldaccord/IMG_0833.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v727/Coldaccord/IMG_0833.jpg) ---
