Finally Got My E30!!!!!!

[iamsam]

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, iamcreepingdeath (Sam) is now the proud owner of a 1991 BMW 318is, as of last night!!!!

Alas, my children, you shall all remember today as the day that Sam Denny became the owner of a BMW E30, and is now officially more obsessed about E30s than he was before!!!


the facts:
it has like 180k miles on it (mostly highway), its white, has the BBS basket weaves, got if for $1700 that's right!!!

cons:
it needs a new AC compressor, and there is a shallow dent in the passenger door.
Also, the previous owner has um, shall we say modified the car not quite to my tastes, so i have some work to do, i will be ditching the super loud muffler for something more stock, getting new exterior trim to replace the trim that has been painted blue (that's right) and eventually new tan leather seats to replace the tan leather seats in there that have been painted blue. So you guys get the idea.

plans:
after "de-modding", i plan first to get the H&R sport spring and Bilstien Sport shock package from Turner, and eventually some 16" wheels, preferrably Borbet type T's.

so, what d'yall think???

and I WILL POST PICS AS SOON AS I GET A CHANCE TO TAKE SOME!!!!!!!

Congrats.

And 17s or bust.

17's are too big on a moderately lowered E30. 16's look the best.

Ladies and Gents: The blue monstrosity!!








behold the blue trim:



And the blue seats:



And all the blue wire loom (all of which i stripped off immediately after taking this picture, first step complete!)

[KillaCams]

That's minor de-ricing. My car had a pep boys shift knob, audiobahn dub speakers, dual cd player and LED strips in the interior...

Some SEM trim paint, a new shift knob and lose the pedals and you got one nice E30. Congrats on the new car by the way looks like it's going to be a fun project. What are your plans for it?

Oh and thanks for getting the car out of the hands of that owner before it started looking like a JDM Hyundai lolllll
