     Okay, enough with the general info! Let's get to the good stuff. Here's one last look at my car when it was mostly stock (I say mostly stock because unfortunately, I don't have my car's older pictures scanned). Now we'll get to the modification part.
                                                                           One last look at my car's stock appearance:
 
     I slowly converted my car to a modified 325is throughout the years I've owned it. Since I prefer AC Schnitzer products over all aftermarket tuners for BMWs, it's natural for me to turn to ACS for my car's styling mods.. You can visit AC Schnitzer at: www.acschnitzer.com.
     As for the modifications, since there are so many of them and since most componets were installed over a period of long time, my mod. list is actually quite long. Enjoy! Note: I was able to save a lot of money on many of the modifications due to group purchases, do it yourself installtaions (with the help of my wiz bro), and good deal buys from the Bimmer Board. I appreciate everyone who helped me on the parts and provided me with valuable tips on the modifications. I certainly wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys! By the way, some of the listed prices are just suggested retail figures because I forgot how much I paid for them.
