The windshield has a huge crack along the whole width as well, but the sun was too shiny to show it.
Also, the exhaust is rusted to death.
And the driveshaft coupler is cracked, I'm getting it fixed soon though.
It's a work in progress, and I love it but insurance is high and I'm hoping I will be able to keep it... =\
Awesome color as well, hardly ever see it in other bmw's, I believe it is called "arctic grey mettalic".

I'm really into the color. As for the damages, they're not that bad, the cracked rear tail light gives you an excuse for buying euro tails, the front nose panel is fairly cheap to replace and while you're at it you could upgrade to the '97+ new style nose panel and grills for the same price.
I love those M Sport Rims...I almost got em for my car off of ebay....
I'd just be worried about that rusty exhaust...but everything else is minor cosmetic stuff....what's even better is that you could mod as you fix and replace stuff!

Yeah I need a new front nose, dents seem kinda big to fix on my car, and it bent one of my grills a little bit.

Funny thing...the front dent is BEHIND the grille, so the grille is in the normal place, but the metal behind it isnt...how the hell did that happen?! BTW, I bought the car in this condition (for $3,500), theres another strange dent on the side fender, it has no contact point of a collision or anything, so I'm confused as to how it got there...
Thanks for the comments everyone, and I live in Seattle lol.
