Well guys, I have officially been here for one year and I just want to thank you for all the help you have given me, especially 632 Regal, Winfred, Jon K, Scott H, JR, Brandon, etc. The car would have probably been done by now but I'm only 18 years old and money isn't exactly flowing since I'm a freshman in college, etc. I've also done a lot of maintainence since I got it, so that's why is also not done. The car is a 1994 530i. I bought it last January for my first car with 55,000 original miles and now it has 67,000 miles. Here's what I have fixed on it since i got it:
-New OBC lights
-OEM cd changer with custom brackets
-switch to synthetic oil with oil filter canister tube
-fixed automatic headrests
-fixed infamous e34 seat rock
replaced:
waterpump
thermostat
thermostat housing
fan clutch (2x- one was bad right out of the box :rolleyes )
upper and lower radiator hoses
fan shroud
guibo (2x)
center bearing
transmission flush with new filters, gaskets, fluid, etc
oil pan gasket
complete coolant flush with draining of block and heater core
completely removed radiator to flush out both interior and exterior
cleaned AC condensor
new radiator cap
cleaned out all hoses with wire brush that usually get clogged
power steering flush
Raybestos cermaic brake pads w/sensors
new spring pads
repaired rear door panels
gas tank
upgrades:

style 32 rims with Kumho ecsta 712's
Euro clear turn signals
Euro clear tails
debadge
Euro trim
new grill

I probably forgot a bunch of things, but that's all I can think of now.

painted lowers with M- Tech sideskirts
tint
exhaust

new trunklid (I already have one, I just need to paint it)
reapir rear bumper
sway bars
a whole bunch of little things here and there
