Well this is my daily driver
18 year old car being driven by a 20 year old driver
This car has sentimental value to me and thus it gets babied as much as possible. The car was bought new at Crevier BMW in Santa Ana,Ca by my Dad, he drove it only for a couple years and then passed away. It sat in our garage in Yorba Linda were I grew up and did not get used much. I pretty much grew up knowing it will eventually be mine. I got the car with I think around 75,000 miles when I was 16 years old. I have done 100% of the maintenance and servicing on the vehicle since it got into my hands. My first job was working as a shop boy at an Independent BMW and Mercedes Benz repair shop and have been on good terms with my former boss and he continues to this day to let me work on my car at his shop. This is a relationship that I cherish as my former boss is truly the good side of the industry; ethical,honest and fair.
Here are the details of the car as it sits today 1993 BMW e36 325i 5spd with 107,7xx miles with original AlpineWeiss I paint
It is currently 98% stock the only additions it has are the followingwheels off a 1995 M3 Coupe the DSI style that I will eventually be refinishing and alight weight flywheel
This week I am going to be doing the following hopefully door handle gaskets door gasketsfront trim license plate delete
the future holds it getting closer to earth with some new springs and shocks eventually
heres the products and tools I used on it
Gold Class soap
2 Grit Guards in each of my 2 buckets
Meguiars Microfiber mitt
Water Magnet drying towel
Last touch 1:1 for clay lube
Meguiars Consumer white clay
Porter Cable 7424 DA
Meguiars Microfiber correction set 5"
Ultimate Polish
Ultimate Wax

Synthetic Spray Wax
a couple more showing some reflection goodness
O ya and one final picture taken at Meguiars HQ shot by the man himself, Mr. Mike Stoops

Thank you for taking the time to go through my long thread
