    I'm annoyed with typing new so i'll just list the parts I replaced and say if it isn't new.
    Eibach sport springs
    upper front strut mounts
    spring pads
    KYB shocks
    control arm bushings
    motor mounts - green 535
    transmission mounts
    rear subframe and trailing arm bushings

    upper rear shock mounts

    Driveline

    92 525 zf transmission
    stock clutch
    throw out bearing
    pilot bearing
    slave cylinder
    master cylinder
    clutch hose
    z4 2.5 shifter
    shifter bushings
    guibo
    e83 front driveshaft section - this is needed because the 525 transmission has a large guibo and the stock 93 325 driveshaft has a small front section
    e36 rear driveshaft section
    center support bearing

    OVERVIEW:

    The bad - could use new seats - The seat frames and foam are in great shape but the leather covers should be replaced
    The paint isn't in great shape - someone did a quick spray on it and didn't prep it correctly.
    only the seat heater on the driver seat works. I would fix the passenger but I don't have any extra heating elements to install.
    The brakes are still in decent shape and have about half their life left. The tires are also in pretty good shape. The dash is crack free and looks great when there's not a cover on it.
    I will be rolling the fenders on Wednesday once my new roller arrives.























    I'm sure I have forgotten a ton but i'll fill it in as I remember.

    Here is an update for this car.

    The latest things I've done to the car are:

    Full front and rear brakes, including pads and rotors
    Standalone engine management by VEMS. It is a 3.6 unit that I installed because we couldn't get the factory management to run this engine correctly.
    Rear seat cover from VAC motorsport I think. I bought this from someone online
    Front BMW seat covers
    Front and rear Arc audio speakers with internal tweeters













    I still need to get under hood pictures and new interior pictures.

    The engine in this car is a M50b25NV with a 3.0 bottom end and 84mm pistons. Here is the dyno from tonight after 3 hours of tuning. 91 octane fuel and 85F outside at 3000ft above sea level. We are in Las Vegas.

    Yes it is. It was a lot more work than just money.
