My Very Unrare E30

[WADE30]

Hey guys! I bought this car back in Oct. '08 and till just a month ago I finally got this thing done.

I have progression pictures but I am visiting my parents in CA right now, but I couldn't resist to show you fellows my car and what I've done.

It probably looks like 30 other Schwarz E30's on here. Haha!

Fully rebuilt M50, S50 Cams, 24# Injectors, 540 HFM, SS replica headers, full custom 3" exhaust with Vibrant Muffler, TRM chip. It has some other stuff too but that's all I can remember right now. I plan to get it dynoed soon. Oh yeah and ZF transmission and 3.25 LSD

Enjoy:










Haha I know it's yellow. I wanted something funny that would stick out!
And don't flame me too bad on the Euro plate, I find it funny, that's all.

Anyway I plan to go turbo as soon as I have the funds. Before that I am going to get some suspension, wheels/tires. I just installed some hawk pads and brembo rotors.

I have always been into auto-x but I want to get this thing out on the road course ASAP!

The M20 in the car had a broken rocker arm and the lady thought the motor was blown and sold the car to me for $1700. The interior/exterior are in damn good shape. She was the original owner from 1989.

All the work was done by myself, Mazur, and Tchao. I have learned a lot and I thank them for their BMW guidance. (note to self: Never do this again haha)

Here's my old ride:


By the way! Thanks for looking guys!

[Slangbox]

The lip makes me a little sad... but other than that, the car looks great.

[WADE30]

Hey thanks! Slangbox...I am not following? You think I need something different?

[87e30]

Damn. Awesome build up.

Suspension and wheels and you'll be set man.

Loving it.

[Holland]

....are you the same guy that painted my m50 valve cover lime ass green?? nice lookin car though man

[stevofthahill]

Hey thanks! Slangbox...I am not following? You think I need something different?

Yeah I don't understand what he meant by that either. I don't think you can really go wrong with paint matched iS lip.

Car looks great and will definitely look better after suspension/wheels.

[WADE30]

87e30- Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Holland- Go AZ! Do you ever come down for meets?

vlad- No kidding! This thing is 4x4! I can't wait for some suspension.

alpinee30m50- No it wasn't me, sorry my friend!

This VC is actually powdercoated. I hate that in the baking process it formed a nasty dent at the front! Oh well!

Hey thanks! I thought maybe he meant I shouldn't have painted it with good quality paint because it's just going to chip? Eh, who knows?

Hey i have met you a couple times at the meets at In-N-Out and EVOMS. I finally get to bring my E30 there instead of the 240!

Hope to see you out there!:up:

Hopefully I can make it sometime in the near future cause I used to go to every meet, but about five months ago my work schedule changed and now I work every weekday night till midnight.

Makes going to the meets hard and pisses me off to be honest. They're always a good time.

I was just thinking the other day how sweet a 24V swapped E30 with a fully stock look would be. Awesome. :up:
