Nose panel has dent by the right grill and the panel and hood has a lot of chips in the paint from rocks. I need a right grill(ghetto rigged it but can't tell). Front emblem is chipped. Rust under the side skirts and under the left tail light also dented where it is rusting. Driver side back door is dented and touched up with paint to cover scratches. Water seems to be getting in the trunk. Front and Back window seals need to be replaced. Unknown mileage. Lastly the two front seats need to be replaced they are torn and stained to shit. All and all the car was not taken care of the best but I still love it.

congrats! she still looks good:)
what are your plans for the car?
i'd say color match the front and rear bumpers(maybe m3 front bumper), install some m3 or luxury sideskirts then find some staggered m3 wheels and she'll be rolling cool:buttrock

BTW: head on up to crazy ray's in jessup md,last time i was there(week or 2 ago) there was a black 325i sedan that has a nice rear driver's door.
if you need some grills-pm me,i just swapped out the grills on my 96m3 to black updated ones....

Well im going to be getting another apartment around march so I need to save up abit. Though my plans are tint, I was thinking ether color matching the stock front and rear bumpers and side skirts, lowering springs or coilovers, replacing the two front seats with cloth seats. Also I was taking a look at the side skirts and it seems that they are one pieceand attached to the rest of the body.... Maybe im just an idiot. Also how much did it run you to color match the nose panel? I figure it may be cheaper to do black rather then yellow. PM sent about grills.

cost me $200 but,i had the rear spoiler painted too...
i have a friend who rattle canned his bumpers w/c where like yours-it came out real good-he prepped it real nice and painted when it was warm then clear coated it-it came out quite nice...that one advantage of black..
my color(dakkar yellow) forget it!
oh he painted the sideskirts i gave him off an estoril blue m3 into rattle can black- came out nice too.
he spent say under $50 for all w/ a 12 pack of beer included:-)

What year was your buddy's car? By rattle can I take it you mean spray paint? Also did he sand it down or just put multiple coats of primer?I'll try and find a DYI on it. Btw nice e30.

You can get rid of the grey on the side skirts with some chemicals and elbow grease... there are several threads on this site with DIY tips on how to do it. I have not done it because I like my side skirts grey. :dunno

I did a quick search and found this thread, but I know there are several:

I may just try and get new side skirts mainly because my current ones are rusting at the underneath.

So I finally got her out of the shop today. I had gotten the steering rack and PS pump replaced rotors got resurfaced and I have 4 new tires. My steering as of now is really stiff would I just need to break the parts in? Thing is while on the highway my steering wheel wobbles. Could that be an issue with the steering rack or tierods? I've never really had new tires so could that also be causing the car to shake or the steering wheel to wobble. Also car is running kind of boggy its been in the shop for about a month had to replace the battery cause those tards killed my last one and left the lights on. Thanks for any help.

Steering guibo. Don't know the technical name for it.

Well i found out why it was kinda boggy. I was going to replace the spark plugs and found oil in there. This weekend I will be replacing the valve cover gasket seals and sparkplugs. BTW anyone happen to have a working motor with a module for the driver side window(92 318i). I'll look in the parts section but just want to check local first.
