Re: Just bought an 88 750il (archive)

Congrats on the purchase. I bought an '88 750il 8 months ago. I've had to fix quite a few things on it since I've had it. It had 141k miles on it when I bought it and I've put ~7k more on it in that time. Some of things I've had replaced or replaced myself include:
-windshield (was cracked when I bought the car)
-all the hoses & belts
-driveshaft
-radiator
-accumulators for the hydraulic suspension
-brake accumulators
-oil pan gaskets (that was expensive)
-two door latch mechanisms
-stereo (I upgraded to an aftermarket setup because the original speakers were shot)
-had all four BBS wheels fixed (3 were bent, 1 was cracked when I bought the car) & powder coated
-all the windshield washer tanks, 2 nozzles, and 1 pump
-2 fog lights & one headlight
-trunk shocks
-hood shocks
-upper control arm bushings
-trailing arm bushings
-outside temperature sensor
-reverse light relay
-heater valve
-interior "courtesy light" switch
-several light bulbs in the dash and interior
-driver's door strap
-battery

The compressor died on the A/C about three weeks ago. That is my text "big ticket" item I need to get fixed. Other things I need to do in the near future:
-twisted seat fix for both front seats
-new tires & alignment
-new rear muffler
-replace all rotors & pads (this can wait a while longer)

What color is your car? What wheels does it have on it? My car is delphin gray metallic with black leather and black 16" cross-spoke BBS wheels and AC Schnitzer ground effects.
