Who's your mech btw? I haven't found one who "knows" my car yet. Hopefully since you are a part of this community you may just have a trusted guy around the area? Well, Hopefully a cruise will be in order this summer! | I was just there for a quick trip to grab dog food, so your car was still there when I left. As far as my mechanic, I have a local friend from Sonoma who is experienced with working on E36s. He helps me out with the small-medium stuff. For larger things or if my friend is busy, I go to North Bay Bavarian off of Piner Rd in Santa Rosa. They're quite good, but not the cheapest. I've only seen another Hellrot once, but you can tell mine by the Contours, black fog light deletes, and rear mud flaps. I usually wave or give a thumbs up if I see another ti (or a note if one is parked) And yeah, we'll definitely have a meet planned for Spring at the very least. We did one last year in Vallejo that was way fun! Quote: Originally Posted by S52Commander Sweet looking car. I like your Contours, makes me wanna switch my rims out. | Thanks! I quite like your wheels though, the bronze looks fantastic with Avus. Although if you were to paint some Contours bronze, that would look pretty good I think. Glad I spotted your car though, it really does look nice __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün 1996 318ti auto Hellrot (retired) Last edited by Coyoteh; 01-12-2014 at 02:39 AM. | | | 01-30-2014, 05:35 AM | #48 | Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Northern California Posts: 85 | Quote: Originally Posted by Coyoteh I was just there for a quick trip to grab dog food, so your car was still there when I left.

Those bronze rims were hard to come by and thought they'd go well. I'm a stickler for a stock look when I have to wave OEM. Plus, they have a KenBlock appeal to my eyes! I have a staggered set myself, I've seen painted contours..and I'm not a fan, but then again it's a shot job on their part. Kinda like my hood! Haha. Which I'm hoping to remedy this summer when the time's right. Expecting another little one in May ..much of what I have in mind will be on hold. Which brings me to a good paint shop, Anyone know of one where corners aren't cut?

I saw an E36 M3 getting worked on there last time that appeared to be a dedicated race car, it almost shook the whole building when they fired it up haha. They usually have a couple race E30's hanging around too that they've built themselves. Not sure on paint shops, I've been needing to look into that myself. __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün 1996 318ti auto Hellrot (retired) | | | 04-25-2014, 12:17 AM | #50 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Santa Rosa, CA Posts: 407 | Black 97+ 318ti Sport at Safeway in Windsor, leaving at the same time as me.

They still haven't fixed the rear glass huh? __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün 1996 318ti auto Hellrot (retired) | | | 12-16-2015, 03:49 PM | #57 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Santa Rosa, CA Posts: 407 | Green ti on northbound 101 approaching Cloverdale around 7pm last night, in the right lane. I dipped over and gave a quick flash of the hazard lights to say hi before continuing on my way __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün 1996 318ti auto Hellrot (retired) | | | 07-29-2016, 06:06 AM | #58 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Santa Rosa, CA Posts: 407 | At Safeway in Windsor tonight: 1998 black sport package, appeared to be stock.
