so a few months ago my buddy who works for bmw was telling me he had a motor and man trans for a 93-97 bmw 325i just sitting at work and they were going to just scrap it, there was nothing wrong with it one bit aside from having 80k on it..... so i was cruzing CL and found a 95 325i with a blown motor for 700 bucks...so i bought it with the intent to make it a dd so im not rackin the miles on my truck.....(80 miles a day to and from work 6 days a week is adding up quick)

so me and my buddy dropped the motor and trans into it, i welded on new swaybar mounts, made my own exhaust, welded in new rear quarter panels, replaced the front fenders, welded patch panels in for the factory side skirts and corners of both front doors, new brakes all the way around and then did all the body work to prep for the paint.... now, for all who have seen my wheels on my sierra, i coated the whole car in truck bed liner.... some of u prob think im nuts but it cost me 40 bucks to do and its just a dd...here are some pics of the process and completed
