Hello,I own a A.A.A repair shop here in southern california & bought this car two years ago & have now completed my restoration.I started with the engine the original engine had a head gasket issue,so I located a used engine w/110k miles on it, before installation we replaced all gaskets,oil seals & engine mounts then replaced the entire cooling system radiator,hoses,resiviour,heater hoses etc to ensure a trouble free drive.the brakes were next replaced front w/cross drilled rotors,rear with Meyle platinum rotors,brake pads are WBR,flushed brake system w/dot 4.the Abs lamp was on due to a internal relay fault (common issue) sent the Abs module in for update/repair.Wheels I selected are 19 inch VMR with Hankook tires staggered.updated the lower control arm bushings & performed alignment.moving on to the body the vehicle was originally black so I sent the car to Coastline restorations for a complete color change to white,everything striped down,doors,trunk all removed to be painted inside & out,slight enhancements include front & rear lamps tinted & clear coated,front fascia opening a black mesh grille was added (I personally never liked the open mouth look) & added the carbon fiber BMW badges all the new door handles are painted body color for an updated look.lastly the convertible top was next I chose to go with the german canvas top in black & had the front windows lightly tinted.I added the Alpina badges but is not an Alpina they never made a roadster to my knowledge in conclusion car is very dependable & has no leaks, a/c is very cold,heater is hot,no warning lamps & I wouldnt hesitate to drive the car cross country.fast & fun to drive especially with the upcoming summer months ahead.If you have any questions feel free to contact me,Regards Vince
