    Default Official one year anniversary:

    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:
    lowered with Eibach springs and Bilstein sports
    style 32 rims with Kumho ecsta 712's
    Euro clear turn signals
    Euro clear tails
    debadge
    Euro trim
    new grill
    Sirius radio hardwire install
    Europlate
    exhaust tips
    shadowline trim

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

    Planned:
    540 brake ducts
    painted lowers with M- Tech sideskirts
    tint
    exhaust
    chip
    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

    eventually- way down the road:
    new paint
    Rondell style 72's
    manual transmission
    supercharger/turbo??

    when it was stock:
