That is one cleanly kept e30 and agree with Delatlanta, this is way before r3v kiddies probably even knew what an e30 was. Before the low and poke crap.
Really inspiring video. You all hate on dude, but his car is pretty damn clean. I have to say I can really believe him when he says the car is a reflection of himself. He built it the way he wanted. It's got OG style. Not talking about RS's and iS lips.
He did what he wanted style wise without going over the top IMO. I love the wheels and rear bumper!! Dope video. This guy said alot about how I feel about driving/maintaining/redefining old antique type stuff. Thanks for sharing!
This car may not exactly be my style, but my jaw still dropped. The production was awesome.
Its not often many people talk their own vision of being a BMW or e30 enthusiast. So its cool to hear words that we, R3v, have in common. this is exactly what brings us together as a community.
Awesome video. I wanna see more stuff like this.
I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.
I actually just saw a schwarz early model on my way home from work with the BMP RS kit lowered on some cool-azz Racing Dynamics wheels. it wasn't nearly as clean as this dude's car but it still looked good in person.
unlike most of the trendy e30's all over the internet... its an OG style for sure.
Wow, awesome, educated r3vvers in this thread. That is a BMP kit, a pretty rare kit these days. He didn't "fill" anything. This is what alot of metal bumpere'd cars looked like years ago. If you didn't have an IS, and you wanted to kit up your e30 affordably, you bought this, or a reiger kit. Mtech 2 kits were no where to be found, and an mtech1 would cost you as much as a car. There were no "volvo lips" or "tarus side skirts". There weren't companies mass producing fiberglass knock off's of thosand dollar front clips and sideskirts. Believe it or not, back then (10+ years ago) the e30 wasn't a popular car, it had a small cult following that did what they could to eek out HP/ torque. There weren't turbo kits readily available, and an m20 stroker was actually a cool build. Project Orca was the only way you could get good enough info to do a m5x swap. So.... it's actually a pretty cool classic looking e30 by today's standards. It's also a driven car. The guy loves it. Give him a break.

Project Orca, oh man that brings me way back... I was 18 when I bought my 1st e30, when that dude was still working on the Orca blog. Fml lol.
