Figured I might as well post all this here since we now have a 5er sub-section and Otis mentioned something to me a while back. I subsequently sold my e30 last november and miss it very much. But I replaced it with a 95 M3 which is fun. But here is my 1993 "525i." Currently has S50 cams and TRM type turbo setup.
I have had it for close to 7 years and have done a TON of work on it. Especially recently. It is almost perfect for me, but there is always stuff to do. On tap is to redo the downpipe. A built 3.0L bottom end for the motor in 2013. Eventually a paint job and refinishing the wheels, maybe a set of new ones too. Then redoing the headliner and interior bits in alcantara. And I am constantly making changes to the stereo system. I compete with it in MECA and am on Team Hybrid Audio Technologies so I am constantly changing things slightly.
But anyways here is some good stuff :) Sorry for the quality of some of the pics. All of this was cut and pasted from my BF.c threads so I am including a lot of process pics and not just final stuff.
