If you really want to go nuts with the race car paint & graphics down the line...maybe this E30 will give you some inspiration - (not that you need it).
Of course, there is also the clean & classic E36 Lightweight:

^That TMS car has a cool f-ing paint job. I've seen some other race cars with that 'x-ray' style paint job.
what about the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans art car style?

I dig the 'Racecar pics'. Very nice.
I took the 325 to work yesterday and installed new tierods and front swaybar links. Then it was on to the alignment rack. I fine tuned the ride height, and spent a while trying to get all the alignment specs dead on. It all turned out great. Then it was the long way home, PA backroads. The car felt great, much better. I think by spring she should be ready for the track.
Next I have a full coolant system overhaul with fan delete. My next available Saturday will be spent busting that out. I am also shopping for a set of fixed back race seats, Sparco, Cobra, Recaro, etc. If anyone spots any good condition used seats let me know. I would like a set of two, but not necessary. Since I will not be 'Racing' the seats can be out dated.

belts for my race car are one thing i'd never buy used. I don't care what the seller says, you NEVER know their history. Unless I'm cutting cellophane off of them, I'm buying new from a retailer. Just my 0.02.
If you wanted to get a little crazy -
Used e36 m3 euro engine w/ 5 speed transmission, 179,000 km - $5,000 shipped to U.S.

He could sell his car, add $5000 and just buy an e36 M3 with those miles.
Sorry Audi, not trying to give you any ideas

I would love to swap a euro M3 motor in. That is not in my budget right now. I am trying to build a fun track car for what that motor cost alone. Maybe one day
I have the 325 at work today, I knew it would be a slow day here. I just removed the front bumper and ditched the remaining AC components, everything is now gone beside what is in the cabin. While the bumper was off I also secured the brake vents and removed the fog lights. I have until 5 so I will probably move back into the interior for some more removal of creature comforts.
Next will be the coolant overhaul/ fan delete, new tires, and hopefully I will find some race seats. I have been eyeing Ebay, craigs, forums, etc, for some Sparcos, or similar.
