The Cart Before the Horse: Spec 3 Build

[Jake]

Yeah, I'll take the strut tower dilly from you. Do you really think it was black at some point, or do you think he misremembers?

Also, afaik, I'm getting the contours (Simon says they are some M3 wheel, so I'm assuming he means these), some steelies, and it comes on Kosei K1s.

It was absolutely black, I ran the VIN and it was a black/black sport package car from new. Our collective guess was clearcoat failure and the second (Navy) owner paid to have it resprayed. I think there was a record from the BMW of Fairfax body shop for the work. It is Oxford Green from an E39, not Boston Green that was actually available on some E36s. I went over to the body shop and we held up paint chips 'til we matched it.
