§ 02 / THE BUILD

From survivor to showstopper.

This 325i convertible came to us a clean, unmodified survivor — stock white paint, factory ride height, original tan cabin. Good bones, but nothing that turned heads in a parking lot.

Stance came first: a BBS wheel and coilover fitment dropped the car before a single panel was touched, so we could live with the proportions before committing to paint. Once that was right, we stripped the body to bare metal, corrected years of small dings, and laid a deep custom green that reads black in shade and jewel-green in the sun. The cabin was fully rebuilt in black leather with contrast stitching to match the new exterior attitude.

From survivor to showstopper.
