        Welcome back! Without an E30 you learn maximum appreciation for the E30.

        She looks good! Keep us updated of your E30 activities.

            Damn. Are those legit LM 198's?

            Once upon a time I had a set of those, they look great!

              Yep, Legit BBS LMs. I assume most people think they are fake / ebay knock-offs. They are the real deal and kinda rare I guess.

                  I could bore you to tears with info on this car. It's an '89 I bought in '98 with less than 10k miles on it. It was a complete time capsule back then when the wife and I bought it. Completely bone stock. I did the bumper swap, suspension and a couple sets of wheels and a replacement top over 12 years and 100k miles. I sold it to a buddy who saw it as too mint to just be sold off to a stranger. He did new leather, a 5spd swap and dropped in an M50 motor, exhaust, big brakes, sways, and, and, and.......the list is quite long. Long story short, he did a ton of work to it and never really drove it over his stewardship of just about 12 years. He recently decided to sell it to free up garage space and I just couldn't see it get sold off,....so it's back in my "collection."
