Love the build! People click this thread just to say waste of money. Miserable. It’s thousand of people that buy wrecked cars and rebuild for fun, whether it’s to flip or just to have something to do. Just because you think it’s a waste of money doesn’t mean it actually is. You are but just a opinion, and a wasted one at that

As far as it being a waste of money or not....I guess it all depends. If that "I brought it back from the dead" feeling it worth an extra $2-3K, tons of labor, and a savaged title....then go for it Cool thread though....it's interesting to see the issues you are running into...and how you are fixing them. If you need any stock parts, post up what you are looking for....I have a bunch of stock parts off of my 07' 335i that are just laying around and collecting dust.

Update #6?
I got both airbags in but something isn't clicking I guess. I have a barvarian technician diagnostic tool to reset the air bags. That worked then i checked you see if they're were other codes, then the air bag codes came back. I know I hooked up everything right Idk codes and stuff really isn't in my ball game since I live in Philadelphia I'm going to take it VAC motor sports to deal with this coding stuff. There is some other codes I'll put them all up and let me know what you guys think. Also got the door today weights a ton. At least I'm about 60% finished with everything. Was going to get the wrap today instead I'm going to get the headlights first- they are aftermarket headlights and they will probably throw up a adaptive headlight code so I'll just let vac deal l with this coding stuff. 🙄

Check your seat belt latches where the buckle plugs in (I think they call it a tensioner). There is a charge in there that will fire when in an accident, pulling the belt tight. If they have been triggered, they will need to be replaced if you want to get rid of the airbag light. OR...you can use the Bimmergeeks PROTOOL app to disable the airbag light.
You can buy used belt latches off of ebay for pretty cheap...just make sure they haven't been fired off.

Ok....I was just letting you know because you said the airbag codes keep coming back, and I'm pretty sure those being bad/fired will trigger the airbag codes......or at least they will trigger the airbag light on the dash.

Lol it was kinda frustrating a bit but I understand now what's going so I don't think I should see those error codes again after I replace the seat belt tensioners

not to rain on your parade but the suspension geometry is still totally jacked up. Wheel sits way too far back in the wheel well... |

I'm all about the project, I bought my car for less then $4000 and it was a MESS but was able to get it sorted and is now a solid daily driver. I personally wouldn't have taken on this project but it's fun watching you do it so I will leave you with this. Good Luck and don't forget to have fun when your wrenching. Always do a search for used parts before you buy new, like that strut was a good find. Plenty of these cars out there to pick apart. Sensors and or Solenoids would be the only thing that I would consider buying new OEM. It will save you time and headaches on your project Good Luck and I look forward to seeing the progress here.

Sorry 4 the wait guys life's been hectic. I got a new windshield installed. Installed a new door. Got the front bumper on but didn't put the bumper guide back on so it's not exactly right. Didn't start wrapping it yet I got the wrap but the guy sent me the totally wrong size i said 8ft by 5ft but this guy sent me a 1x5fy so I decided to let someone paint it because the amount of time I waited for the wrap and to send the one I got back and wait for the right size it's not worth it... Also changed the oil to royal purple heard a lot of good news about it put in 7 liters. Started it sounds and runs good. Also the wrap was NARDO grey I'm pretty sure you've seen it before probably too many times. But like I said the amount of wait times and bs from the seller of wrap I'm just going to get it painted black.

Sure, there are guys that will do it for $1,000.....but it looks like crap, and in 8 months it's peeling off. I hope you didn't go the ultra cheap route......

I thought you said you were getting it painted black? The rest of the car is red? Why would you paint the bumper and fender black and leave the rest of the car red?
