Some more bits arrived:


Shiney shiney:


Not many will approve but I like them do nerr

Led ones too, so should be better than CCFLs. As well as looking a bit more modern.

Awaiting my HIDs and need to get some shrouds. People saying that BMconversions are being unresponsive plus they haven't sent out goods in some circumstances. Been looking at theretrofit scource. Might get E46 style ones, would rather E60 ones but can't find anywhere that sells them.

Had this a few weeks. Thought I should fit it.

Got it out,



Yup. For a fucking coupe

Gunna beg bmwmini parts now. See if I can get credit or something lol.

Hated these so took them off. Look so much better, it's such a small thing and you can't really see in the pics but it's made the car look so much neater!!:

Angels are white light I believe. Didn't want the orange ones I don't like them.

I might get Clifford G5 ones but I quite like the look of it smooth.

Well newer e90s have white LEDs, and e36's never came with angels so8would say that's oem enough

I'm frustrated that ashtray is for a coupe.

Apologies for a bit of repetition:

Okay so havent updated in a while as my photobucket was being gay.

Heres some new bits I have purchased:

Depo replacement headlights for my 4700k HIDs (Shrouds allready on)



Shiney!

So got these to go with it:



I know they are Marmite, I love them personally. They are LED ones so no converters needed which is a bonus.
Needed to do some mods to them first though, want to go with the de-pupil look so needed to remove them:

Few pics here (Annoyingly cheaply made hence the cost but still fitted together ok!)




Can see the shrouds here:




Then shon a torch through to check light pattern:



Perfect!

Remove lens:


This needs drilling:



Tried an Angel eye in there, fits fine



So now trying to find a 70MM Diamond tip hole saw! Anyone know where to find one?


This had been annoying me for some time:



So purchased some Depo's finest:





Then fitted:



Did otherside too:


Nice matching set.


Some other bits:



Gaiter is wrong shape. So eBay seller is making me one up

Bits back from Lemass:






Fitted:
(The gaiter is old and the silver "ring" is being redone chrome to match gearbnob)




Also picked up a polished AC Schnitzer dash strip, fitted it but preffered the black, might sell it on:



Fitted my Alpine Bluetooth kit, works well with Siri so now I can call/txt whilst driving hands free.





Spare hole where an ECM is probably supposed to go, perfect spot:



Drilled one of these:



Then looks like this:


(annoyingly a slightly different shade but not as noticeable in real life!)


Update is a bit muddled.

Having second thoughts on whether to buy a different M3 i have seen for sale. Descisions!

Really Joe? You have impeccable German automotive taste, so this could be interesting oh and I personally think SMG surround is 1000% better!

Before was this:



I think the angel eyes will work, headlights will look almost completely stock with a small twist. Should look like this:




Just need to drill lens like so:
(not mine)

Don't like the de lens look, looks odd. I did a test for that too;



Just looks messy.
