    rieger e30

    Its pretty much done. needs sand and buff. Ive never put a aftermarket kit together and i think i did pretty good for my fiirst time, buti dont think ill do it again oem is the best.

    I started working on the car right before thanksgiving and i just been driving the past week or so. Its my first bmw. Ive had quite a few vw's.
    Im not too sure if im crazy about the car soo ill see if im going to part with it.

    I completely redid the interior too, Ill get better pictures after it stops raining.

    Very clean, but personally I'm not a fan of that kit or the gills. E30s that try and be E46s (aside from the engine) are FTL. I second your sentiment regarding sticking with OEM.

    Regardless, you've put lots of work into it and it shows (unlike mine).

      It is clean and you did a good job for your first time. But it really will not be most peoples cup of tea in the styling....

        Only reason i went ahead and did the after market was because it is a real rieger kit. didnt wanna let it go to waste. thanks tho it was alot of work.

                Looks like a legit build. everyone may hate me for this, but I actually kinda like it. Whats the suspension specs? Needs more low for sure and more aggressive lighting/wheels. Also, i think the entire kit would have looked better the white that it was originally, the second pic looks fuckin sick to me for some reason lol. Nice build!

                    it needs better wheels to pull it off, those cheap ebay/discount tire specials don't really match. maybe some BBS LM reps, or those 17x8 BBS reps from the GB.

                      You sure that's a real Rieger kit? It looks very similar to the ESM stuff, either way nice job.

                      Oh BTW who did your paint and body work?

                      You should come out to Van Nuys to our local meet Jan 29th 8:00pm on at the old GMC plant on Van Nuys Blvd. Behind the in-n-out.

                        I never thought Reiger did any goofy kits like that.

                          Those are ace wheels over 350 a wheel, but i guess that was back in the day like 5-6 years ago

                            +1 for all the work done. But I am not a big fan of the kit. Just doesn't seem to flow correctly. Like someone stated above it may be the rims, but even with some nice rims I probably wouldn't be a fan of the kit.
