Not my e30

[frankenbeemer]

I tried to explain this to a few e30 people. But they are just not havin it.
I think putting air ride on my e30 is the best thing I could have done. I love being able to raise it up for long trips and have a great smooth factory ride. Handles and feels better over the coil kit I had before...

Nice daily BTW..

Got a thread with details on the air ride (yeah I didn't search, sorry)?

OK, saw your last, in for pics.

actually, there is really nothing super expensive to "fix". Worst thing that happens is you pop a bag, a new one is between $80 and $150 and takes a few mins to pop one on in the rear and about an hour or so for the fronts. Otherwise, my controller in under warranty since i am running a full digital setup. Other than that, my tank isnt breaking, compressors are warrantied i believe and air line is cheap... the most expensive thing about air ride is knowledge. The less you know, the more you'll spend.

As far as ride height, i sit about a 3/4 to an inch higher when traveling around streets here, georgia was a diff story though lol. But, believe it or not, i could drive around with about 10lbs in each bag (almost on the floor, as the pictures describe) without rubbing, just had to watch the pan.

Trust me, air ride skeptics become believers overnight once they try it out, its addicting as crack.

Don't mind the jealous girls in here, they still think we live in the 80's.

That must be a horrible ride and it must not handle very well. In my opinion, the aesthetics of having the wheels sunken in like that look plain goofy. It looks like it's missing wheels, like it's a car body sitting on the ground with no wheels. What do you do with this thing? Just drive it around town?

My god, What does your e30 look like?

edit: I just realized, you are from Florida!

you keep saying no wheels. maybe you mean no tires? because i see some pretty dope wheels.

[FKNFASTM5]

Ha, im pertty sure thats what he meant. Any idea what some lipped futuras look like on a NON M, E30? preferably white

Ride height for those wondering...
