Hello! I’ve had my shoe for about a year now, and while I’ve used this forum for all sorts of things, I hadn’t thought to make an account until now.
A clown shoe has always been a bit of a dream of mine, and last year I had the chance to get a good project car. I traded my n54 135i for it, and while the performance difference was a little sad, the smiles per gallon (and miles per gallon…) are much better.
The car:
‘99 2.8 coupe in Boston Green.
It was in pretty rough shape when I got it: ripped up seats, lack of maintenance, high miles, droopy head liner, etc.
What I’ve done (so far):
Complete clean up. Someone hauled a dog in this thing. I had to completely disassemble the interior to get all the hair out.
Window tinting. I quickly learned this car is a bit like an oven in the southern heat. So tinting was absolutely needed.
Fix the head liner. what a pain!!
Wheels! These are apex Arc in matte bronze. 235/40 r18, 265/35 r18 rear.
My seats are currently being upholstered, so hoping to get them back soon!
General maintenance stuffs.
I have access to a pretty large 3d printer, so I’m hoping to scan and print some of the hard to find coupe parts, so I’ll keep everyone posted when I have some new things there.
