Looks amazing! I want your car so bad. What exhaust are you running? Have a thread on installing the brakes?

[IRON-E]

Bad ass car dude.

The calipers and rotors are oem units from e38 7 series. It's weird that only in europe some of the 7 series came with those calipers, all other ones have 1 piston calipers.

The exhaust is next on the agenda to be replaced. Its good, but not big enough for the 2.8. The car came with it from germany. The brand is Supersport. Idk about thread on installing the brakes. I didn't do it myself, just brought the car and the calipers and rotors to the guy that does everything on it and told him that I want them and 5x120 :)

Thanks everybody else about your nice comments, and I hope you take good care of your e30s

twism,

Love the car dude! I was born in Bulgaria myself and moved to the states when I was 7. Zdrasty! When I was in college I had a few Bulgarian students there too, and they called me a fake Bulgarian b/c I didnt have an accent... haha. But I understood everything they said, and could speak back to them pretty fluently. I kept that to myself for a little while though just to mess with them. Anyway, you planning on staying out here after school or going back? I havent been back since I moved out here, but am planning a trip for next summer. I would love to check out some e30s while I am out there. You guys do it right! And that back drop for the first set of pics is awesome. Good work.

Are these a direct bolt on onto e30 m3 suspension? Are you using an adapter or spacer of any kind? Are you on e30 m3 suspension?

[trackjunkie21]

Can I also ask how you mounted the external lamps on the bumper? And where did you connect them? To the fog light switch?

[twism]

Dave you have PM

Are these a direct bolt on onto e30 m3 suspension? Are you using an adapter or spacer of any kind? Are you on e30 m3 suspension?

The brakes are not a direct bolt on, its actually a lot of work. First of all I'm not using anything from e30 m3. For the front we use e36 hubs with little adapter because the diameter of the e30 and e36 hub is different. For the rear we take everything from e36 ti. Everything is bolt on and is absolutely the same as the e30, just 5 lugs. Now for the brakes on the front we make an aluminum adapter for the caliper and we cut the original hat of the rotor because the ET from the 7 series is different and we make aluminum hat with the ET that we need. The back is a little easier as ventilated rotors from e39 fit perfect and you don't have to cut anything, just make aluminum adapter for the caliper which is also aluminum and really light. Thats all I can remember now, if you have any other questions let me know, hope it helps :)

Can I also ask how you mounted the external lamps on the bumper? And where did you connect them? To the fog light switch?

For the winter mode of the car I bought another front bumper which I drilled straight trough to install the lights, and for the connection you are right, they were connected to the fog light switch :)
