RM Engineered launching this week - E30 Parts

[Retrospect_Nick]

Hey Everyone,


I’d like to introduce myself and share what we have been working on.


I’m Nick - I run a restoration shop, dealership, and storage facility (Retrospect Motorworks) in Houston, TX. We are pretty much addicted to E30s. We work on them regularly, race them on the weekends, and so we started designing our own parts for them. This has now grown into a product line, as we think others may enjoy what we have going on.


Launching this week


We will have our first handful of products available for purchase later this week on our new site: RMEngineered.com (site is currently just collecting emails while we finalize production).


The products launching are:

1. LED Headlight conversion assembly
   • Complete DEPO setup modified with our parts and assembled with Morimoto bi-led internals.
2. Billet hood hinge 90 degree kit
   • Opens the hood to a full 90 degrees, machined 6061 aluminum components including new roller catch brackets, gas pistons, etc.
3. Hood release handle
   • Offered in both machined aluminum or polymer. Extended length for easier release
4. Billet interior door handle set
   • Redesigned interior door handles machined in 6061 aluminum.
5. Billet window cranks with wood knobs
   • Redesigned and machined in 6061

Some other products in the works include: Rally lights, Modern functionality OBC, Oh-shit handles, Slim roof rack, More..…

We are looking to create OEM+ design that enhances the experience around enjoying these machines. A few previews are attached, feel free to share any and all feedback. We are just embarking on this journey, and hope to continue developing high quality parts for these cars we love so much. Happy to answer questions on anything! Design, install etc.


Thanks for checking us out!
-Nick

I like the idea of replacing plastic or stamped steel shit with billet alumimum, and I hope one day my car will be at the point where it starts making sense to do these sort of upgrades.
I really like that real thought was put into each to make them better... the original e30 door handle design has always been a bit shit for example.

I think it would be nice to say (before the "What's included" section) that the door handles are a set of 2. One of the top two pics shows 4 handles and I wasn't really sure until I scrolled far enough.

I also saw people moan about it not being anodized on facebook or reddit or something, but I don't know if I agree.
The aluminum stuff in my engine bay is all corroded now, but any black anodizing that saw sunlight has been bleached to some kind of brown/gold colour, so I could be convinced that either is a good option depending on location/use case(for both the car and the part)

Nick, the aluminum touch points are a nice upgrade, I like what you're doing. Just curious, who made the carbon fiber hood? Good luck with your business.

I like the hood kit.
If it was half the price I'd probably buy one.
But maybe I am just cheap.


What about selling just the top pieces (that engage near the windshield) separately?

Really nice stuff!

Cool parts you had made for the e30.
