There are many little things you can do
that make your car seem better.
The best news is that these things don't cost a lot.
NOTE: If you need used parts like these, I've
used Rob Torres at 2002haus,
Dave Varco
or Sherman Martinez. If
they're new parts, try Maximillian
Importing. |

The TII air box was restored by sandblasting
the old one and repainting it with
some Krylon "hammerite" paint. This stuff looks like an old gray
toolbox - $8.00 |
 |
For less than $10, you can put on a new fuse
box cover under the trunk.
(I know I have the wrong kind of fuses in 1-4 and 7, I'm working on it!) |
 |
| For less than $20 each, you can get new
Hella License Plate lights. Mine were waterlogged. |
 |
| You can make your night time driving easier
with some H4s. These are Bosch, $90/set. |
 |
Find a better wheel from a 320i. These are
usually anywhere from $40-$150,
depending on which one you want and the quality you want. Older 320is
version shown. |
 |
| Never replace points again - buy a Pertronix
($50) or Crane Fireball (shown) $120 |
 |
Creature comforts! Buy
some 320is Recaro seats. Prices can go from $100-700 depending
on condition and model. These are vinyl from early 320is, and have the
hard-to-find
BMW factory Roundel imprint on them (see below for close-up). Impressive
at a
burger stand drive through! If you haven't sat in these baby's, you don't
know what
a real corner feels like in your car... it's like a whole different car on
the road!!! |
