its been said before and needs to be said agian, clean car.

[RCWells]

Thanks again for the compliments.

e30sd, I saw your Alpinas for sale and was intrigued. But I would have to totally refinish them, and that would cost some bucks too. Nah, right now I am happy with the wheels I have. There are too many other more pressing projects to deal with for now. Chip, injectors, clutch, headers, etc. I may ADD some more wheels to my collection down the road, but it will much later on.

What % of window tint is that?

[RCWells]

20% all around, plus the header strip. Not too dark, I can still see out of the windows at night. Anything lighter would be too light, imo.

As an example-yesterday I went to the BMW 3 Across America event in New Orleans (I was going to help Bobby do this yesterday, but decided to go to this event instead). BMW brings some of their Heritage Collection 3 series cars to the event, and these are normally on display at the BMW Museum in SC. On hand they had a '87 325is, all original with 58k miles. The only thing that car had on Bobby's were less tiny rock pecks on the front end-but Bobby's is a daily driver with almost twice the mileage so it is to be expected. BMW could take Bob's car and put the stock wheels, suspension, and a few other stock pieces back on and it would be worthy of their museum-without a doubt.

Hah, I didn't know you were there. We may have talked and not known it. :P

Love the car and I want those wheels. A slight drop in the front and shadowline would make it perfect (but you knew that already). Keep up the good work!

Now you know I would have made sure I would have talked to anyone that came up in an E30 M3! Just replied to the other thread....

Unless your clutch NEEDS replacing I wouldnt jump on that or at least consider it before upgrading to a heavier sport clutch, those mods are all pricey and dont do as much as they should for performance, idk....ive done the whole try and mod an M20 route and almost went 2.8 stroker but the more you do the more you learn and in my opinion it isnt worth the money. M/S50 would be worth it.
As far as the wheel choices for your car.......wow, too many cause your car could justify any expensive wheel. Try and find some SSR comps, BBS RC's, look long enough and score some BBS RS's, Hartge anything would be awesome. I love the ronals but youve done those, ever thought about painting the centers???? :D

[RCWells]

Paint 'em red? I have thought about that, but it is really OLD SCHOOL and I was always on the fence on that one.

As for the upgrades, I already have the headers, just got to get 'em coated ($200-worth it imo). The clutch is showing it's age, and it is due for replacing in the near future. The chip I gotta have as the Dinan just isn't hittin' for me, and the injectors are based on advice given by someone I consider "in the know". I don't know much about that part of the deal, but trust the source.

BBS RS was always a fave back in the day, but they are $$$$, and not worth it imo. I want at least 16" wheels (thus, no Ronals) or even 17" are lookin' better and better. Hartge look good, but just not for me. SSRs are cool, just not my thing either. I do like the newer BBS wheels, but again, $$$$.

I am satisfied for the time being, but will continue to watch for something else. I really wish that I could have bought that set of Throwing Stars that dude had refinished awhile back. I JUST missed them as I had consumated my deal on the MMs and THEN saw his thread. Oh well. No rush on the wheels. I like the MMs.

Clean car, nice job!!!
