Re: Feb. CAR OF THE MONTH ** Winner**

Really nice ride!! I can't say I love the headlights, but it does give it an "evil" look. Gotta love air ride suspension.

EDIT: and the 4th gen gage cluster and LS1 doesn't hurt either! Any more pics of the dash? Is it an entire 4th gen dash or just the gages? I'd love to do that to mine...

All this time and you guys STILL can't figure out what BMW model these headlights are from?!?! They're from the E36, aka BMW 3-series... model years 1990 - 2000.

Re: Feb. CAR OF THE MONTH ** Winner**

Great car. I am thinking about getting an air ride suspension too. What is the ride quality & handling like? That's a pricey kit and I just want to be sure its worth it. I'm sold if it handles as good or better than stock and if the ride gets real smooth too. Gotta keep the wife happy on long road trips, but I still want to go around corners fast.
