Oakes Detailed: BMW E30 M3 Restoration

[OakesDetail]

This 1989 BMW M3 came in for a full restoration detail to get it ready for sale, with only 88k miles on it the car was fairly clean and in great shape. Our goal here was to make it look undriven and we'll let you be the judge!

Alpine white is the perfect color for this iconic car!



Car as it arrived:

All I can say is beautiful work. Just beautiful. Great attention to detail with the underside mold.

I am impressed that you did way underneath on the underside painted areas. I always do and it is a pet-peeve when people skip that. Kudos!

Great job - that car looks like new! I have a soft spot for the E30 M3. The owner will have no trouble selling it for lots of money.

Wow, the car turned out incredible! I doubt they have any problem selling it now.

Thanks everyone! This was honestly a fun job, the car wasnt by any means horrible when it got in so it was enjoyable to take it to the next level as always.

OaksDetail- Good job! I have a soft spot for those cars (still miss mine), thanks for sharing this one. Leatherique seems to work great on older BMW leather, huh?

I am impressed that you did way underneath on the underside painted areas...

Next owner oughta replace the corroded hardware down there, hope it ends up with the kinda person who cares that much.

Great job! Thanks for posting

Leatherique did this car wonders, also helped that I left it on there for about 8 hours while being heated by the lamps. Owner was definitely shocked at how soft they were, they felt like bricks before hand!



Thanks !
