right guys,

i finally found a few pics of my car after it has been lowered! they were taken last winter so are relatively old, but it's about time i got some of my car up here! only 4 pics and all of the front/side. one day i'll get a good shoot of the car up, but for the time being here goes!


excuse the old mans old M3 there too by the way! and the steel wheels! BBS wheels still in the garage

That last pic is great! good view of where the 3 series started and what it has become.

Although the original steel wheels are one i must say that the lowering is very nice.

Sweet ride Ross! We want more!! The chrome bands are just luuurvly

Looks reeeeally nice!!!
Keep the hella mask on...In my opinion it looks very sweet with this (practical as well, aren't the small ones fog lights?)

hi,

yeh the small rectangular lights at the bottom are front fog lights. i think they look quite cool i've seen some E21's with them on with like a metal/wire mesh over the front which i personally don't like. the lights help a little bit when it's foggy, as the full beams just make things worse!

thanks for the comments guys.

i'll get another pic soon if i can, with my car stood next to my dads new V8 M3. it's a beast! amazing how much the 3 series has changed over the years.

Oh, I meant the smaller lights on the hella mask (the circular ones, not the outer, the inner). Aren't these ones foglights as well? I always thought they were...
My car has the rectangulars such as yours as well, (but in yellow).

no the outer ones are normal driving lights (half stage and full night stage) and the inner circular ones are the full beams.

Thanks, I didn't know...Anyway the car looks great...

Ooh I dunno, lowered on steelies screams 'Q Car' to me! Especially if you have a hot engine under the bonnet, like an M3 lump or...being sacrilegious... a Zetec with thottle bodies

one day i'll upgrade to 325i engine but the steelies won't be on there. neither will be standard brakes!

what engine does it have at the moment?

just a 1.8 M10 with a weber carb
when i change engine though, i will leave the 316 badge on the back

hi guys,

quickly managed to get a few shots of my car next to my dads M3, and i've got a few others of just the M3 in case some of you on here like it as much as i do my car did 340 miles this weekend, all faultless.

enjoy, let me know what you think!
