Project - BMW E36 325 Touring Restoration (new montego blue)

Hello guys!

I'm choosing the wheels to my to touring and i used Photoshop to help me but i more confused then before.

Show me your opinion:







For now i'm in love to this look:

CSL wheels are beautiful, but somewhat common. I like the Alpina wheels.

Alpina #1

CLS a close #2

what about style 5's?

I know they are common...but they look damn good

CSLs are my favorite one piece wheel. by far, they're really the only 18"s that look decent on an E36

18" BBS LMs look good on E36s, too, but would probably look better in 17".

true, but dollar for dollar the CSLs are a better alternative.

At first I wasn't REAL impressed...now I am! Waiting for more....

Thank you for your great comment, all of this is the product of the love for this model. At the end i will have a brand new car with an effective cheaper cost of a modern car, and it will always be a bmw. There's some more coming soon and also a nice cleaning of the interior for a proper photo session!
Thanks again

Hello guys!

So i just bought my new wheels. Now the wheels are being repaired to look like new, but let's see how it fits:





Alpina Classic 18'

This was not my first choice but it was a good business!

Oh man, those are going to look awesome!

I saw them mounted and it looks awsome.
Final pictures coming next week

How much did you spend on the whole project so far?

Hmm, I'll have to save this for later.

Around 4.000€, including the price of the car, the paintjob, seats, door panels, floor mats, gearknob, hand brake, steering wheel, headliner, wheels and tires

At the end i'll have a "brand new" car spending about 5 to 6k €. This car was priced about 60k when new here, it's an individual M pack . And it will always be a BMW.
I love this particular model and it will become a classic soon.

There are some more things to do, but the hardest part is done.
