E30 carbon fiber hoodzzz!! IN STOCK NOW!!!

[widebodye30]

hey ary any plans on making that one trunk that was on the graphite 325is at bimmerfest? Did that car sell yet?

The csl wuz a custom made trunk and won't go into production..And for the acs mirrors i think you can use the e36 movements to fit inside the mirrors.

What about front fenders? for those of us running S52 conversions, a CF hood+fenders should offset the extra weight nicely.

E30 fenders are light as hell already .

Cheap aftermarket even moreso .

i think seat backs would be a waste.

Looks like someone grafted a suburban hood wind deflector on the tail of the innocent looking e30...

^i dont care bout the rest of the car, i just thought the rear end looked good, ive been wanting a rear bumper with a diffuser, looks a lot more modern IMHO.

[Bimmer4Ever]

are you planning to work out a package deal for all the cf pieces?

I will grant you that, but there has to be a significant weight differential between carbon fibre and steel. Do you have numbers? A guesstimate would put them at 30 lbs apiece, probably.
If the half-CF hood weighs 17lb, down for 46 stock, it is not inconcievable that you could save another 20 + 20 lbs. that would be 70-75 lbs, centered *ahead* of the front axle. That would more than offset the differential between M20 + trans and S52 + trans and, arguably, even reduce the polar momentum of the car, which is not a bad thing in my book.
Granted, it wouldn't be cheap, but spending $8500 on an S52 euro plus $2000 to install it isn't cheap either. And we know that that's just the beginning of a slippery slope which can get very, very expensive.

Fenders are more like 3lbs each .

Also you are overpaying for your S52 .

[nmlss2006]

Seriously?
I have not weighed them, nor taken them in hand, but from others I've handled 3lbs seems off by an order of magnitude.
As to the S52, I am willing to listen if you have cheaper alternatives, but an engine with gearbox doesn't seem to come cheaper. Here, at least.

I will let other chime in on the fenders , but in my experience they are almost feather light .

Yes that is a bit steep for a stock S52 , even with the accesories and trans .
I know of two complete S50's in TX for much less, one in $1.5k range with trans and one for $1.2k w/o trans .

I may be interested in the ACS CF mirrors. I know someone that has them and they are not only a bit more functional, but damn nice looking.

Uh. These are *euro* engines? 321HP, dual vanos, Siemens DME?

Don't quite understand what you are asking .

There was never a "Euro" S52 .
