Very cool...looking forward to the updated pics as the project moves along.

As a side note though, did anyone else cringe at the shots of all the pretty interior bits just laying in a pile on the shop floor? :) I hope those are going to a good home!

why a 4 door and why did you guys go with a 328?

Touring cars are historically 4 door. Tradition more than anything. Right now these are being built to Grand Am Cup ST class rule specs.

I dont think so, looks like it might be plates that you can take off to access through to the bottom of the car...??? just a guess

Great post...I looked it over, it would have been great if there were some captions explaining what you're doing. What a shop...wish I lived close to you guys. Great work, please post when there's more, I will watch your used parts pages too....looks like some nice stuff coming up soon. How many miles on the car when you started this project...were these brand new?

Nice way to remove some weight from the e90. And I just wanted a sunroof-delete option.

You guys should bring it back to the dealer and say you hear a rattle then ask them to cover it under warranty.

:D

Nice to see what my car looked like before they added all the junk you took out. Can't wait to see more pictures as the project moves along
