    ''La Quiche'' E30 S54 - Alpha N - BBS E50

    I decided to start this thread to show and talk about the work I'm doing on my E30.



    People are always asking for specs on everything so here's a little wrap up.

    -1991 318is with a M50TU - MarkD chip - complete E36 M3 exhaust system

    -was on Bilstein Sport and H&R Race (cut front) but will be on Unix Performance - Standard Suspension custom coilovers :)

    -BBS RS174 16x7 et33 and RS244 16x8 et33 redrilled to 4x100 with 3'' lips front and 3.5'' lips rear. Final specs: 16x9 et08 and 16x10 et08, chromed central nut, chrome powder coated centers. Tires are 205/45-16 front and 225/40-16 rear.

    -I sold the BMW Uberkaro sport seats and bought 2 front Trophy Recaros. They're not fitted yet.

    -I recently changed my front ''IS'' front spoiler for the subtle ''I'' spoiler. It's way better like that !

    Here's some pics of what I'm doing at the moment. I'm cleaning and polishing my wheels.







    Bonus !

                    The word perfect comes to mind.

                    Ive got a few questions for you, how many miles have you logged with the rs? What did you use to protect the lips, after the polish, and what do you repolish them with?

                    Your lips still look brand new...

                        One summer, about 6500 miles.

                        What did you use to protect the lips, after the polish

                        Nothing

                        what do you repolish them with?

                        I use Happich Simichrome with a Mother's MiniBall on a Bosch drill

                            Man does this look great, I wish I could find some rs's to restore (that I could afford). I really like the way your car looks with no trunk lid spoiler and the shaved badges. How low is your car, I would imagine you can't get too low because of the 10" rears. I feel like it has a perfect height that would allow to drive around with minimal scraping.
