    Keeping the e30 the same width.

    12,722 post, rather old member, not new to bmw, thanks.

    ok my eighth e30 its an 1986 325e not even fully bought yet. this is a project and will be built taking my time & sourcing parts.

    so that said, i want to keep the car the same not just with e30 fenders or arches, keep the car at 65.4" ish ( the width of the OG E30 ) a stock coup is 65.4", that's stock & stock on either side of the trans tunnel, ( i have read not to cut into the tunnel, i will research this further ) that is cut out material most unlikely from a donar...

    had a question about suspension geometry, for folks who could be helpfull in this area an i going to through off the current geometry, can camber caster adjustment help, engine is TBD.

    thanks again,

      Too much work, I suggest you lengthen the e30.

        If you want a car the same size as an e30 the keep your e30.

            cut into the tunnel.

            don't bother with research.

                  What you need to do is remove trans tunnel, and install jet engine. Then zip tie both halves of your car to new and improved powerplant. This will allow you to narrow your car enough so you don't need 2 seats, you can just sit on the rocket, and the zip ties will allow enough flex so you don't need suspension. In which case I recommend welding steel rods where your struts/springs go

                        The only way to keep the E30 stock width is to get an E21...
