93 525i, 5 spd (soon to have ANOTHER rebuilt unit put in it).
Style 32 wheels with brand new tires, 3.73lsd, euro ellipsoid headlights, EAT chip, and a sony in dash CD player (for mods).
Most everything works, mostly used mobil 1 0w40 on it every 4 or 5,000 miles.
New clutch at around 125k (guibo, clutch master and slave also). Belts and a radiator around like 140k. New upper and lower control arms and tie rod links around 120k.
Around February I put in the LSD and replaced the RTABs (bitch of a job), dogbones, new bilstein shocks in the rear, shock mounts, new oil in the diff, new brake pads in the rear.
New mintex pads on zimmerman cross drilled rotors about 5k miles ago (end of last year).
I bought an E46, so I havent been driving the car that much.
Anything else?
Oh, its black with tan leather. Total miles now is like 169k.

How are the zimmerman rotors?

Theyre alright so far. I've had them HOT, as in hot enough to induce brake fade, but for obvious reasons, they don't get that hot on the track (but get near it more often).
I can't comment on increased pad wear, because I haven't actually measured or inspected the pad, but the pads are at least still there.
No cracks yet, and I swap my wheels every once in awhile when Im either tracking or driving to work, so I at least get to see them then.
If the drilling actually does anything I have no idea. I never really tracked too much before the cross drilled, so I don't know if they cool faster. They look awesome though!

that uses a timing belt rather than a chain? Any issues there?

No the M50 has a timing chain.
