I wouldn't kick it out of the garage.

Wow, I really dislike that hydro-dipped woodgrain exterior molding/spoiler and the CF bumpers. Just looks wrong to me.

I'm OK with modern interior (including hidden touchscreen infotainment display), different engine/brakes, I just would prefer the exterior to be more OE classic. His money obviously.

I'm with you. I like the chrome bits to stay chrome, except possibly for the window trim.

Germanauto · 08-29-2020, 08:47 PM

Clean and tasteful. Love the interior.

stein_325i · 08-29-2020, 10:12 PM

Not a fan of the mods, as these cars get older and rarer, I find them best looking in stock (or at least close to stock) form. Like this one.

The Choosey begger · 08-30-2020, 08:45 AM

I just think it's cool Downey is into old BMW's

Mingwan · 08-30-2020, 06:53 PM

I wonder if this will be gifted to a friend of his. Doesn’t really strike me as his car.

rlmesq · 08-30-2020, 08:17 PM

I'm not crazy about the wheels, either. Are they 20 or 22s? They look.too close to dubs for my taste.

Same. Mine will look almost identical to the one you posted. I even have the stock wheels ready to install.

The wood trim on the exterior is really whats throwing me on RDJ's car, I could live with everything else even the auto.

W/// · 08-31-2020, 12:02 PM

I personally don't mind it to be honest. Sure, these cars are rare enough and stunning as is that I'd prob want to not mod as heavily, but I wouldn't mind doing something along these lines with my E36 M3.

P.S. just noticed the outer trims. Nah, that's gotta go!

MmmmmM2 · 08-31-2020, 12:27 PM

I like it!

Dont do it, your bank account will thank me. Haha.

NickyC · 08-31-2020, 07:53 PM

Except for the carbon bumpers I love it!

IllSic_Design · 08-31-2020, 07:57 PM

yeah the faux wood and carbon bumpers are not my thing, but still pretty cool that RDJ is into old BMW's and it is still a sweet car!

1claire · 08-31-2020, 08:04 PM

The engine bay will be my favorite of all the photo but the car itself looks amazing.

jcollege · 08-31-2020, 08:57 PM

Love it, but couldnt agree more the faux wood is terrible, carbon bumpers i could live with. Overall pretty damn sweet

AR_Motorwerkz · 08-31-2020, 09:17 PM

Beautiful car! It's sweet RDJ has a thing for classic BMWs

Hahaha, the headlight grills are $3K. the little chrome pieces that sit under the rear bumper are $400. There are little springs that keep the windows from bottoming out in the door, they are like $45 each. These are used prices.
