    '89 Lachssilber bbs rs003

    This is my 2nd e30. Coincidentally being only 62 spots in production apart from my previous e30 (shown by serial# part of vin)

    Over the last few months I've changed a many things on the car. I owe a BIG thanks to Spaz (http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=160490) for all of his help and time.


    Specs when I picked it up:

    Purchased August of '09
    1989 325i
    202,000 KM's
    Lachssilber Metallic
    5 speed manual
    Heated grey cloth comfort interior
    Premium audio (light grey speaker shelf w/ light grey speaker covers)
    Grey door & rear cards
    OE mudflaps front & rear
    Manual crank sunroof

    6 days after buying it, the water pump totally seized while driving home from Washington state. What a great way to get things started..





    This is the earliest picture I took of the car. Suspension, lights, trim already installed:




    Here is the car now:







    What has been changed:

    Smoked Hellas (BrewCity11)
    35W 4700 HIDs (BrewCity11)
    Euro clock
    Alpine 9847 unit
    Alpine KCA-i420 iPod unit
    2nd trunk light
    e36 antenna

    Heated black leather sport interior
    Black door & rear cards
    Dark grey speaker shelf w/ black speaker covers
    ZHP shift knob
    Alcantara shifter/e-brake boots (Matt-B)


    Here is what I have lined up:

          thank you for your answer... the rear has the same offset?

          are you running the 60/40 H&R springs?

                  If I were to ever do BBSs that's what I'd want them to look like on my car.

                              I think they are more 40/40 springs.

                              -1.6"/-1.5"

                              yep, front and rear wheels are same offset
