Just got the car back from the shop yesterday and had to post a quick pic-LOTS of work done to finally bring her up to spec and I'll be excited to finish things up over the next couple of weeks.

oh my...sexy car. Is that an OEM color. It's really nice.
I was torn between an E31 or and E36/8 as my first BMW. I love just being rare. I ended up with an E36/8 but I will own an E31 one day.

OT: I just friend requested that shops myspace page not too long ago. great place? pretty damn close to me.

I'm actually running the H&R/Bilstein combo - (and contrary to other folks' experience she doesn't sag in the rear-although I'm starting to...)
The color is Mauritius Blue and is stock, although I did have the roof painted black.
Great shop-Chad is one of those guys you could send your Mom over to see and he'd take great care of her (car).
300E? - Wasn't that the Hammer?

Here's one more shot from rear to give you an idea of the rake (on this car) with the H&R/Bilsteins:

Awesome! The Bilsteins in the rear will raise the butt a little (so as to somewhat offset the too-low sag of the rear H&R's). Your car looks amazing!!

I don't know about the 714/949, but watch out for those front plate tickets. Especially when you park your car in a public metered place. The Parking Violations go-karts are very very quick on the draw here in Los Angeles :( I wish that I could roll w/o a front plate, but it's simply not possible in L.A. The cops and the parking violations enforcement idiots are ultra-vigilant. The 8 is not meant to have a front plate IMO. Oh well, such is life in plastic surgery disaster orange suntan face LA-LA Land.

Just a set of Magnaflows - can't remember the # off the top of my head - with a custom X-pipe. (Very rumbly-if that's actually a word...)

What mufflers do you have on your car if you don't mind me asking, tomorrow i plan on getting two mufflers welded in and don't know what to go with.

Thanks,
Kevin
