What was the FIRST thing you bought for your E30?

[lukeADE335i]

3.73 diff - bought the car with toasted diff.

This was followed by 14 inch style 5s as it initially had steel rims and plastic hubcaps.

Couple hundred dollars worth of stuff from FCP, the engine was/still is a mess.

A car wash while still on the trailer as I dragged its sorry ass home.

For my 1st E30? Motor mounts. Which turned into Subframe/Oil Pan/Motor Mounts/Steering Rack/Control Arms.

Current E30? Tires. Rears were dry rotted. Then I realized I had no front sway bar, because the attachment points on the subframe had broken off. So here we go again, Subframe/Motor Mounts/Steering Rack/Control Arms/Sway bars.


My first time doing the whole swap, from getting the car in the air and the motor jacked up took me a month of working at it after work, buying parts as needed, tools as needed, and learning as I go. Now I could do it in an afternoon.

A several thousand dollar emissions sticker, to put in my driver's side door jam.

IIRC my first order was inspection II stuff: air/fuel filters, cap/rotor/plugs, and redline trans/diff fluid. Followed a few days later by springs/struts/rearshocks.
