Well I turned 16 recently and I have always been a fan of the E30 BMW. I started a part time job and one of my dad's friends was selling an E30 and I couldn't pass that up. My aunt gave me $2000 dollars and I still have to pay her back, I'm almost done. After I get the car paid off I'm going to start fixing it up and make it look nice. I'm thinking black metallic paint and BBS basketweave 15"?

Skip the black metallic paint. Euro weaves would look great, and the red that's on there is in great condition. A good clay bar and wax will make it shine better than bass boat paint. Nice e30 you have there, do you know if any of the maintenance has been done or have records of it? I'd replace that timing belt and water pump asap.

That is a clean platform to start on! What I would to is try to restore the paint, you'll decide to keep it once you do this lol. I would also tuck the bumpers and make sure the bumper surrounds are straight. Finally some euroweaves and h&r races would set it off nicely. But, that's just my opinion

Wow, that is a very nice base to start with for $2000! Like has been said, instead of thinking about an expensive repaint (much less color change) I would look at restoring it. There are many resources online, and you'd be surprised at what can be done. Most important now, though, is timing belt and water pump.
Instead of thinking about all these things you want to modify or change, just spend time getting to know and appreciate the amazing car that you have. Find all the things that need attention and get it looking and driving as best as it can in its current form. I think learning to be detailed in maintaining a stock(ish) car will help you appreciate it more, and make you put more thought into what you modify.

Can't even believe your considering a color change. This kid has a lot to learn, such as how important timing belts are.
