      Nice another local! Definitely swing by azbmw.org for all the local stuff we have going on. Did you buy the car in town, or out of state sale?

        Yup, car was indeed on eBay, it was too good to pass up for what I got it for... I consider it a pretty good score. Its gonna be a great base. It is a California car.

        The wing is gone for sure, the black roof stems from my VW days, wait till you see it you might dig it, and I think I am going to do some black molding accents.
        Depending on the wheels I go with I may pull the fenders as well and im sure I will smooth a few thing here and there just to clean up body lines (possibly even that front bumper).

        stevofthahill thanks for the heads up I will def. be out.

            Since it's a 318 I'm assuming it's brillantrot? If you're looking to ditch the mtech2 wing you may have someone who is interested.

            edit: and since you said you were looking for ITB's you may want to take a look here. Screaming deal for an m42 ITB setup.

              great looking car, I think you should absolutely keep the current front spoiler, it's very rare and the mtech2 is definitely far more common, it makes the car truly unique and I think it looks awesome. I'm all for the carbon hood but I'm not sold on the gloss black roof, two tone in that sense doesn't work very well at all on e30's imo. either way can't wait to see how this one turns out!

                that's a great find man. congrats on the buy. I'll be pleased to see what you have in store for it with such a great looking starting point.

                Keep it clean. Keep it simple. Simply clean.

                  I actually just found the listing for this car on m42club.com and it appears the seller of this car and the Dbilas ITB's I linked were the same person.

                  Did they come with the purchase of the car?

                    I wouldn't exactly call that airdam "super rare" but it isn't very common. Only seen a couple in person.

                        looks pretty clean like everyone else said. i think you should look into replacing that steering wheel

                          do some research on the car youve got instead of just applying your mk4 recipe to it.

                              Congrats. I've been tracking that car since it was first listed on m42club. You got a great deal.

                                I have/had the same kit on my car minus the rear spoiler. Pfeba for sure! I tossed the front air damn almost immediately after i got it, regretting it now, it was trashed though! Still have the bumpers though, love em!
