    S Cali Euro-spec E30 M-tech2 touring*BBS*Bilstein*

    My first post after lurking for a few weeks.

    Just picked her up a 3 days ago. Having been unattended to, exposed to the elements, and not driven, she wasn't too pretty. Swept off all the spider webs, flushed fluids, and replaced tranny & motor & plugs. She cleaned up really well after a thorough wash, clay, and polish.

    Initial impressions:

    1. Surprisingly, rides fairly comfortable...comparable to my bagged Sienna.
    2. Got a thumbs up within 30 minutes of driving.
    3. Transported me back to a time when I said...someday!
    4. Power is a bit anemic, so already researching possible options, swap vs. turbo

    Immediate to do list: tint, amp/speakers, alarm, power door locks, cargo cover (if i can locate one), install rear wiper, arm-rest/drink holder, headliner, Thule bike rack

    Nice pick up! What kind of amp/speaker combo are you going with?

      Bagged Sienna? I'd be interested in a photo of that!

      Your E30 looks nice!

        You need to do a m54b30 swap. Then it'll be like the touring version of Stucke's car.

          Must be Griggs' old car. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=241570

          I'm guessing he never got around to that engine swap?

            Yes definitely Jon's old car. I believe he sold it to that Persian kid Amir who also bought chameleon leather's old Alpine 4-door on 17" 5-lug Alpinas.

              Thinking of a focal setup or wait for an old school BA components to pop up.

                Still learning. Fortunately Castro and Bimmerheads are within a 30 min drive from me! From what I've read, they can help steer me in the right direction!

                            Welcome to the touring family- she looks great.

                            Those wheels look great! Specs?
