The Rieger Genesis E30 that shattered the mold

Overdone imo. Done well... but still overdone. Some ppl just don't know when to stop.

I don't know, maybe I've lost my mind, but this car looks good. Sometimes you just have to let go of your traditional sense of styling and what you think looks good, and take another look at some of those cars that go beyond practical and functional, and just go for style and show quality. Every part of this car looks good, from the interior to the wheels, and every part fits well. It's wide, it's low, it's mean looking, and I like it. Nothing seems out of place on it to me, it all just works.

Now I know that the first reaction of 90% of the members of this board will be from the narrow-minded sheep who think it's blasphemy to go outside of what the E30 community has deemed "acceptalbe body styling". To those, I say keep it to yourself. Even if you don't like the way this car has been done, you can't deny that it's clean. You just can't. I give nothing but respect and envy to this guy, and the balls that he's got to build a car this wild, and this clean.

Enjoy.





















Engine bay shot:

bro like u say , that damn car it's 4show , that testarrossa kit is insane , he only need a good s52 under that hood , but overall it's a headturning any where he goes :crazy:

first picture there made me think mustang a little bit... anyone else see that? Other than that, the body isn't for me but you cant deny it is a very clean and well put together kit. I can however really appreciate the front profile (mirrors are sick, valance is really nice, headlights are... really nice, etc.). The interior is just hands down imaculate, but the rear headrest screens are a bit funny... Over all, I give mad props to the guy for going out on a limb. And this is not just an E30 limb...

PS- that kit looks really familiar to one I had seen before (Not one I was ever thinking of buying). here - http://www.andysautosport.com/bmw/19...o00129439.html

Even worse, easy way to get rear ended and insurance doesnt cover jack for cars like that.

Don't those mirrors cost like $20 on ebay? I have a set that I bought for my e36 but never installed because the power motors are shite. They do look good though.

Really, all that car needs are euro smily's and some nice wheels (Keskin Klassiks ftw) to be one of my favorite e30's ever. Oh and a new plate. Interior needs contrast and delete of screens. If you want a screen in the e30, put it in the front so you can see it... *argh* All that money and he ended up with a flip out screen for the head unit. *double argh*

[jeffw]

if you never use those side mirrors you wanna get rid of em? :)

[e30m20beast]

the problem here is that they can't afford to do this to their car(I am including myself), so they go ahead and they say it looks cheap or overdone. In my opinion this car is beautiful!!!!! I wish I had the money to do all of this to mine(even the rear headrests), if you have money to do it Why not?

im not a big fan of the e30 m3 because of the fender flares which is why i opted to purchase a non m3 e30, it was also much more in my price range. i personally think the m3 fender flares make the e30 look a bit too after market for my taste. but i think when a car is done right its done right, and i think this one is done right. what completes the car is the fact that the guy also did engine. the car sits right and the color is the right choice IMO.

as for that mutated maxima e30freak linked...that is just sad that someone would do that to ANY car.

Anyone else find it ironic that most peps on this forum go against the typical BMW "snobby" gain, slammed rides, deep dish wheels, motor and bumper swaps etc Yet they are so critical when it comes to someone else's taste in modding the very same car.
