    Myke's E30 Touring

    Aloha everyone! Here's a snap of my beloved Laguna Green Touring. Drove my Mom's Coupe in high school many moons ago and happy to come full circle 30+ years later in my own.

      Those are some good-looking Bottlecap wheels, they perfectly complement the mid-eighties vibe. Laguna Green is a very attractive color. If you’re in the San Diego area, consider joining the BMWCCA and attending the Bimmers by the Bay on Sunday, August 4.

        Very cool! If I am in town, I will definitely swing by.

          Update from today's antics after work. Threw the 16's on and cleaned up my air lines underneath. Will get around to rolling the fenders on my next adventure.

                They're E34 wheels and 16x8 ET24 with 15mm adapters up front and 18mm out back.

ID:	10127876 Some updates as of late. After fitting the wheels, next was the manual air suspension setup. I also bought a set of clear tail lights to do a little project. I wanted to color match the tails to the Laguna. It took a bit of trial, tribulation, and color theory to really nail it down. In the end, I think I nailed it! It may not be for everyone, but I am happy!

                    I, oddly enough, like the taillights... reminds me of the Hella tails from the 90s you could get on mk2 and mk3 VWs...

                    I would also spray the clear blinkers up front to match...

                      Hella Magic Colour tails from the older VW's were definitely an inspiration. Good idea on the front turns!

                        I oddly enough like it too. My touring is the same color.

                            New rollers. I like the mesh wheels but these spokes do it for me. Something a little different.
