Correct.
I have a single chrome tip I need to trim to fit on the exhaust.

So on the Magnabro......if memory serves the 325i was distinguished exhaust wise by twin tips set at a 45 degree angle? Yes? What are you going to do to finish the Magnabro?

Car looks good brah.
It'll also settle a bit once you've added the sunroof and some miles.

Would be a shame if I painted my bumpers orange with your lovely ND.
I mean, what do I care? I can do bodywork.

Those euro bumpers look fantastic.
I would run different wheels personally, but this thing is so 5/7, I literally can't even.

I actually think e30's look best on smaller diameter wheels. 15's or 16's. That severely limits tire choices, so I get the reasoning for 17's, but this thing on a set of 15" or 16" basketweaves would do me in.

Extremely limited on what 15" wheels I can run.
16's are a possibility. I could stuff a 225/45/16 on there, with a star spec.
Not basketweaves doe, I don't like the look.
Possibly 16" Rota Slipstream
D-force 15" 205/50/15 has a lot of cheap tire choices as well.

That's all way more to me. I really like the smaller wheel OD and moar sidewall, just looks right on the e30. But I know tires are tough. 16" star specs on those slipstreamsMelon wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 3:44 pmExtremely limited on what 15" wheels I can run.

I do really like the design of the APEX (or whatever the brand) wheels, just not the OD.

asked for updates.
I installed the exhaust tip.
With the help of I got the A/C charged and cooling.
I installed BP-10 brake pads to help with the massive dust of the DTC-30's. Going to take those off, they're too meh, going with a BP-20.
Put about 450 miles on the car.
Noticed the long crank times, and I installed the wrong fuel pressure regulator 2.5 bar vs. the 3.0 bar required.
Reseated the injectors to prevent leakdown, and installed the new regulator.
I had some oil leaking, but that was due to me installing something incorrectly.
I went to do a valve adjustment, and discovered two of the eccentric pins had lost their nut, and were jammed.
I ordered all new hardware (should arrive today) and will be adjusting the valves properly.
I found the nut, it's in the oil pan, but it's larger than the drain hole, so I'll have to get it out some other way.
Most likely with a flex shaft magnetic pen, and through the oil pump gear hole.
Car ran great, should run even better now. Handles like a mother fucker.
I'm looking at getting a new GoPro and doing some video.
This weekend, hopefully, will be it's first Autocross event.

Sunday.
I'm going for the gold.
I've been leaving work early every day to get shit done.
The valve parts come in, hoping to have that done by today, fish out the nut and a finish up a few other things tomorrow.
Oh, also, I replaced several ABS relays, nothing works, so I'll put a volt meter to the system and possibly replace the ABS computer.

That's even better. More time for break-in, and freeing up my weekend works out great, I got a lot of yard work to do.
