So I needed a daily driver, it seems everything I try to keep and drive I end up modifying to the point of absurdity. I picked up this super minty clean one owner gem with 202k miles on it for $2500. It's a 2001 BMW 325i Touring 5SPEED manual. Car was SPOTLESS and looked like it had 30k on it. Drove around with it bone stock for a while, great comfy car, ice cold AC. Then the obnoxious bug bit me, and the following happened. Unfortunately I don't have pics of the car in stock trim.


I picked up some 19" Varrstoens, 19x9.5+24ish, 19x11+25 in the back


Test fit on stock suspension







I bought some $460 coiloversoff Ebay that included front adjustable height coilovers, rear adjustable springs, and front sway bar end links.







She was looking pretty good







Then came the L.E.D tails, the aftermarket front turn signals, the red emblems, stickerbombed mirrors, and a bunch of stickers to help the little inline 6













Car- $2500
coils- $460
wheels- $900
tails- $300
corners- $40
stickers- $50
red emblems- $35

Total- $4285

No wagon love?

idk if it's just me.... but these pictures are not showing up.




edit.... now i see why, because you're linking pics off douche40atlanta........... come on man........................

[Manny Naber]

Sorry guys...didn't know it wouldn't work. It showed up fine for me. I'll fix

[D3UC3S]

LOL $50 on stickers.... You got more dollars than sense....lol get it?

[Manny Naber]

Ya. I get it. Funny.

[quickdodge®]

No wagon love?

Nope. Not with those mods, sir.

[Manny Naber]

Haha. Ok we got a purist here

[quickdodge®]

A purist, if you're referring to me, maybe so. My opinion (on what I can see) has nothing to do with purity, though.

[C230K]

For someone who claims to have or had a list of nice cars listed below and to put ebay coils on a beamer, something is not right

[D3UC3S]

Or he sunk all his money into those cars and didn't wanna waste money on his daily......

But then dropped $50 on stickers....my arguement is invalid

[Manny Naber]

Lol the $50 on stickers was just a funny reference towards it being a power mod. I have quite the collection of stickers from parts etc.

The list of vehicles are CURRENT. As someone stated I did not care to spend a penny more than necessary,this was my initial intentions. And the fact that I can just pick a car to do this too if I wanted too on a weekly bases, should clear all fishiness you speak of.


Just don't hate, it's not a good look. Love hearing opinions, but hating on it why? Tons of people like it, a lot don't. But for under 5k total, it got me 30mpg all the way to FormulaD, gotta give some credit.

I have ~200k in the current vehicles, I'm not eating Top Ramen. This was fun to do. I enjoy it. It's different and love the cargo room.

[C230K]

No hate here, I just wouldn't put ebay parts of a fine piece of German machinery is all and I can only see the last two pics for some reason

Misusing the word "hate" doesn't help your debate, my friend.

Again, not being able to see but only two of your pics, I can only go by those, but what you've done to the car is far, far from different.

[Manny Naber]

The car itself is different. It really is. Rides surprisingly well too.

[D3UC3S]

I'm not being serious when I speak on your sticker usage...

Wasn't saying you we're broke now. Just saying that you sunk a bunch of money in some nice rides, no need to do that to a daily beater. I was on your side.

[quickdodge®]

I'm really not trying to argue with, man, but I do see this car about a hundred times a day. And that's just in stock form. With yours, and I'm not trying to be mean about it, it looks pretty much like every other modded (in similar fashion) Bimmer. I don't see a difference at all.

[Manny Naber]

I don't know I just never see wagons anywhere really at all in general.

[quickdodge®]

I don't know I just never see wagons anywhere really at all in general.

Ahhhh. Didn't realize it was a wagon. The only pics we can see are the last two. The wagon part, I can agree with as far as not many out there, but the modifications done are a dime a dozen. But you gotta do you no matter. I'm just the farthest from being a fan of stretched tires with the poking wheels and stickers all over a car. It does cheapen the look of the BMW.

I agree on all accounts. Only being able to see the last two pics I cant really comment. BMWs are everywhere.....and yes wagons are everywhere as well. At least it's not sitting on BBS RSs with tires too small and too much negative camber.

so... when are these pictures going to be fixed?

[ramazanpz]

I want to see pictures!

[Manny Naber]

Hey guys I just got to my computer at work so I am fixing right now give me 5 minutes

[Manny Naber]

[Sinfix_15]

[Manny Naber]

One of my favs, the car still looks much better in person and looks pretty cool driving down the street I think.

97% of all these pics are red x's

The only red x's should be on Page 1.

[Sammich]

oh i see it now...i like

[Manny Naber]

Thanks man!

[quickdodge®]

I think I like the broken links better, man, lolol. If you had proper fitting tires and none of that crap on the mirrors, this car would be the shit for real, dude. Those are the only two things, in my opinion, holding this car back from being a respectable looking Bimmer.

[Sinfix_15]

Those wheels are the shit.....

stickers are gay, but i'm starting to feel like a broken record saying that.

[Manny Naber]

Lol I kinda feel the same way guys that was half the reason for all this, you don't see funky stuff like that on any of my other cars but when you have the ability to do just do something like this real quick, it's fun. The car turned out better than I thought and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

You know what, i was about to talk shit... But. If your signature is legit.. Fk it.. It truly looks like your Bsing with the BMW... So f it.l legit fun is what's all about at the end of the day... Not " legit " stickers.. Lol

[Sammich]

i like it...i dont see why everything that has to be to everyone's taste...car is clean, it's not over the top disgusting. wheels and tires fit the car nicely..i wouldnt ride around w/ the side mirrors like that, but it's "DIFFERENT" (in quotations) to see. i say let him live...tiz awl

[RandomGuy]

I like it... crazy I got those wheels for my e90 the same day you posted this thread.

[Gashbell4595]

Like the car besides the mirrors, other then that, looks clean and fun, do whatever you want to it.

[quickdodge®]

I don't really see why people have to step in tell others to basically "stop posting their own opinions" and "to do whatever you want to do." Seems like that is already known and if opinions weren't wanted, then the thread wouldn't need to be posted. That's part of what brings threads down.
