quick video of my E30 M3

[Erik]

Can we race for pinks? =) I could use a E30 M3!

x2, I'll even take you on a real track. Straight line just wouldn't be fair for you.

[e30s52]

That m3 sounds like crap.

ARA ive seen your car run and its amazing...love the headlight look too. ive done the same thing to my e30.

[Dermeister3]

this might be my first post on this forum..... EDIT: nope....number 5

to OP:

NO, this is not a "noob drifting forum". The poster who told you to "go get sideways" was telling you to go have fun with your car, not show us it idling.

You have an E30 M3, one of the best handling cars on the planet. go take it outside, get some videos of you using it to its full, fun potential.

The Majority of E30 owners will tell you to make your car OEM. We're purists, what can we say? I for one think "meh" on the headlight. Its been argued that a "custom intake" does absolutely nothing for a power gain. Plus, it probably isn't filtered as well as OEM. IMHO, put the headlight back in, unless your auto-crossing with it.

Having said that, im sure youve been on the internet before. Unless you have a great video to post, everyone will think its crap.

imo - your E30 M3 is a 7/10.

[E30Idea]

Sounds like a lawnmower. Put your headlight back in.

[ubernasty]

don't get mad cus everyone isn't drooling over your car.
the vid sucked, you have duct taped haggard intake, and it doesn't sound all that great... what did you expect bud.

its not like anyone's trying to "pick on you".
people are just calling it as it is.

hope you take my D1 drifting instructions to heart btw.

hey, thanks man, PM me and we could go for a drive sometime.

Im running a megasquirt system and I have it tuned for this setup. For those who have seen the intake path of OEM E30 M3 the incomming air has to make like 6 bends before reaching the throttle bodies, this way its straight thru and yes it does have a filter...

for those who have uploaded a video before, you guys KNOW how much better the sound is in person than on youtube or any other site.

I say Fcuk purists, its our cars and we could do whatever we want to em.

WOW! race for pinks? how old are you guys again? LMAO !

get a room funboy

[e30devo]

so you guys have never seen E30s with a high beam removed for air induction?

theres ALOT of trash talkin goin on here....I thought it was just the E46 guys that gave BMW guys a bad name.....tsk tsk very sad.

I for one LOVE the way my car looks and performs, I track it often and have done all of the work myself ( not the MS software)

its very easy to sit behind a screen and boss other members to keep a car looking factory but I say " to each his own" but some of you guys are acting half your age.

R3V FTL

we have all seen the removed headlight deal, it really doesnt do anything and it has been proved numerous times.

you love your car! great, just because you do doesnt mean everyone else has to, so dont get all butthurt about it.

sure we at r3v like the oem+ method. but seriously, take a look around. this forum is composed of numerous people with heavily modified cars that do not look "factory".

half our age? how old are you exactly?

true I could spend $1200 on the DTM CF box but I dont have that kind of money to spend on bling when my current setup functions just fine and besides its not a show car or anything, its a track car so I dont care how it looks.

1. the CF airbox does more than look pretty. it makes power when tuned correctly and lowers intake temps. its not bling, its function and form together.

2. you THINK your setup functions just fine. but like i said earlier, its not doing much, if anything.

" go get sideways?" what is this some newbie drifting forum?

as I mentioned in my first post, excuse the darkness of the clip, I live in an apt and the underground lot is rather dark and besides its more of an AUDIO clip so lets keep the childish comments to yourself.

getting sideways was around wayyy before the huge drifting fad. so no, this isnt a super drift e30 forum (though we do have some bad ass drifters as members.)

your video was wayyy shitty to look at, sorry about the shitty lighting situation but seriously if "its more of an AUDIO clip" then why the video and walking around the car?

we arent being childish, were expressing opinions and supported facts about your car. you are the childish one not being able to take constructive criticism.

that flex hose is $100 per 10 feet, its aircraft grade and fire resistant. Its not some ghetto fab hose you get at home depot or anything like that......and as for the duct tape, I placed it there to prevent rubbing of the hose and cause a hole......really wished bmw put the abs in a different location =/

Unlike most E30 M3 owners I dont trip out about minor things in terms of looks or keeping in prestine condition, heck 9/10 E30 M3 guys will never see a track day but they have one of the best tools for the job.

nobody cares how much the hose costs, its not meant for cars. its looks ghetto and its a part of that poorly functioning "intake".

as for most e30 M3 owners! i know ALOT of them, and alot of them have very pristine beautiful vehicles, and i know 9/10 of the ones i know would take it to a track day anyday of the week and drive circles around your "not show track car".

for those who have uploaded a video before, you guys KNOW how much better the sound is in person than on youtube or any other site.

I say Fcuk purists, its our cars and we could do whatever we want to em.

WOW! race for pinks? how old are you guys again? LMAO !

if you know how bad audio transfer is when you post on youtube, then why did you post a supposed dedicated audio clip?

i saw fuck purists too! but i dont do it to defend myself of hacked mods.

last i heard, racing for pinks is for people who believe in the car theyve built. another last thing i heard is going into a situation where you may lose something so precious that youve built with your own hands takes huge balls. and the last last thing i heard was huge balls are for grown ass men.

so stfu and take the deserved comments or gtfo to e30tech.

[E30SPDFRK]

This thread has gotten way out of hand. Everyone is jumping on the make fun of him bandwagon and trying to one-up the person before.


Take a step back people and put yourself in his shoes. I'm sure that 75% of these comments wouldn't be made.

[iamsam]

+1 to that. (to E30SPDFRK)

Seriously, maybe this guy's tastes don't agree with yours, but if anything is childish it is everyone ganging up on this guy like this. I know there are some harsh people on R3V, but i love R3V, and its really fucking dissapointing for me to see the shit you guys are shoveling at this guy here, no matter how bad his tastes may be to anyone's point of view.

Come on guys, where is the integrity and honor in a large number of people ganging up on one person, especially since the person did not personally attack you first?

Everyone talks about 'being a man', how is joining a bandwagon against one person being a 'man'? If anything, one person standing up to many is more 'manly', isn't that what society teaches us?

this shit is fucking dissappointing.

the guys who are trashing ara here are almost out of high school entering college, so Ara I have seen your car, heard it and to me an e30 m3 is still an m3, even if you still sell it as is ( put back the original headlights as in stock) and even the most modded e30 here would not even pass hagerty or american car collectors short lists of collectibles, so just accept the trashing here because it is a forum a public one at that and you are taking shit from people who are living as far as you can imagine.
think of it as owning a part of history that you definitely enjoying because that car is meant for the track stock an e30 will have to go to the suspension modes etcetera, what is your stock engine 2.3 192 hp what is an m20, but then that is me....
but this bunch of guys are fun to be with meet them personally and they cannot say something to you straight up, but here everybody can say the stupidest comments trash talk your car, keep it cool, and you will be fine, come to the plant meet on the 26th, Van Nuys, the so cal lifestyle crew is a bunch of cool guys, maybe we can do streets of wilow this summer, prepping mine too,

most of the crap that gets said on these forums won't be said in person...

Nice car. It's an E30 M3. It's going to be special and worthy pretty much always.
