No filthy car for me this time! I might be missing a headliner and a trim piece, but I can see myself in the hood dammit!
Not having to worry about the sun drying the water before I got to drying it was great. I should do this in the shop more often.
Insides still a bit dirty, but eh, tinted windows hide that :)

This car looks so much better than when you got it. You’ve done it proud.

Damn dude, the car looks great! I can’t believe its the same car.

That’s so nice to actually hear from someone, thank you. It’s not perfect, it’s given me hell at some points, but I love the car so much.

This mascara still needs to go.

I can promise you by late January there will be new lights all around.

Good. Otherwise... you've cleaned that thing up nicely.

There’s no M3 like a 4 door M3!

This is the M3 I had on a poster in my wall at age 14 (in yellow). It was probably the last car poster I had on the wall before I moved to swimsuit models.

You really need to do some before/after pictures. Huge improvement.

I have a bunch of pictures from right after I bought it. I might have to cobble something together.

Wanna buy my OEM headlights?.... I don’t have a set of front corner sedan/hatch lights though

I’m gonna end up getting some nice projector units with halos (I really like them) and clear markers and tails with Christmas money. Thanks for the offer though.

You should put together some before/after pictures from the same angles.

I might head to where I took the initial pictures later today and do that.

Please do. I can’t find any pictures of before you cleaned it on your kinja and am curious. I’m a old school BMW lover as well.

Yeah kinda really wish that we could have “real” tinted windows in NC. We’re not allowed to tint the front windows, and can’t even really tint the rear windows as well.
On the other hand, I really like your car. All cleaned up it looks great. And, no, the headlights aren’t as bad as everyone says they are.

Here’s one of the old ones just to show what it looked like.
That’s the day we went to meet up with the seller.
Mind you it also had bad shocks all-round, bad tie rods, non-functioning mirrors, and a bunch of other little things. It didn’t seem to be in bad shape but the more we dug into it after we bought it, the worse it got.

you mean that aftermarket Depo/DDM Tuning shit?
ok

They don’t seem shit but alright. They’re not the horrible things that are on the car now and retain the two things I like about them and they’re going on my car sooooo.

I may come out in the morning. Depending on weather I may ride motorcycle, I doubt anyone wants to look at a beater metro.

Last time I remember reading about this car I thought you were fed up with it and going to sell it.
That being said, it's looking a hell of a lot better than it did. Hopefully it drives/rides a little better too.

Other than little shit (blown speakers, sagging headliner) the cars been an absolute peach for me for the last 3 months. I haven’t a reason to sell it now that it’s done needing a lot of work. I was fed up because in the span of a week the aux cooling fan died and the car overheated and then the steering wheel lock got stuck on.

It sucks, but sometimes it just takes a while to fix all of the shit a previous owner should have done, but never got around to.
