Nice starter! I'm 16 as well and I recommend not wasting your time with all those small exterior mods and go straight for suspension and then wheels. Might take a little while to save up but makes the biggest difference to any car imo and I always wished I did mine from the start. Follow up with maintenance and THEN put the finishing touches on.88 325is

Looks like a great starter car and you seem to have enough taste not to ruin it. To echo what a few have said, work on improving the driver first, attend a few DE's/auto-x's in your area. I'm looking forward to seeing how this car comes together.- Trey

Wow you are extremely lucky to score an E30 with such low mileage and only one previous owner, and even more lucky that the previous owner is your mom. That way, there is nothing that anyone is hiding from you when you got that car.
I suggest first doing suspension, then 15 or 16 inch wheels, and then worry about exterior mods and such.Comment

Worry about looks after you make sure it is running well, if it runs like shit then who carses how cool it looks. Also if it was my car i would do suspension wheels and tires first, then move on from there. Great first car too! haha my e30 is my first and current car.PNW CREW
