    alpine progression

    Hi all. Thought I'd share my e30 with the community. I purchased her in July, with 113k origional miles. She's a 91 318i.
    There was a lot of work that has taken place to bring her to where she is today. I started off by detailing her, replaced ALL fluids, spark plugs, and filters, replaced the front and rear rotors and pads, replaced both roundels, then added the IS front lip.




    I then replaced the torn and ripped front and rear silber cloth seats with black vinyl sport interior(still need door panels) and new oem black floor mats. Needless to say, this was a huge upgrade.

    The next things on the to do list are front control arms with m3 offset bushings, Bilstein Sports, and H&R race springs.

    And last but not least, are a set of classy wheels.16x7/8 ET20

    Sorry for the terrible pics, a real photoshoot will take place once the new wheel/suspension setup is complete. In the near future I will be installing a new dash with no cracks and a 410lsd ,both of which I already have. I only plan on driving her every now and then, which will keep her miles low.

            I am not planning on a 5 lug swap any time soon... not until the new brakes wear out anyway. I am having RB motoring fill and redrill the bolt pattern on the RS's to 4x100.

                          updates to the e30

                          Updates!!
                          I installed the Bilstein/H&R combo and the handling is absolutely amazing compared to stock. Night and day difference. I would definitely like to see the front a little lower, which I think I can achieve by installing Ground Control camber plates; something I was planning on anyway.
                          The wheels came out very nicely and fit the car very well I think. RB Motoring did a fantastic job redrilling the wheels and polishing the lips also. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fill/redrill service. The centers and center caps could use a little elbow grease though. All in good time:).
                          Tires are 205/45 Dunlop Direzzas.
                          On with the iphone pics... sorry about the quality once again, and this time it was raining.










                          It's coming along!

                            WOW. Great looking car. I would paint the iS lip alpine, but everything looks amazing!
