That bay looks awesome. Great work. I am really digging the burnt tips on the exhaust.

vanitiy cover painted same color and mpower sings and stripes silver

took it for a test drive to a friends shop to put it on the lift and make sure everything was good and charge the ac system to figure out ac compressor was stuck immediately it started smoking so we had to wait for a new compressor.
also when doing ac with a swap on the 318ti you will need lines from donor car





and there you have it ..nice experience working on this car great feeling doing it since i do this for a hobby not my primary job ..customer was super happy with how it turned out and this car is a blast to drive

updates on parts we are waiting for euro steering wheel cubby and glove box with blue leather inserts

Nice work man, obviously saw it all on IG. Can you explain more about that glove box/cubby? How is the Euro setup different? And did you order those boots new from BMW or have them shipped from Europe?
