Nice ride. Something goin on with the front fenders? Lines look slightly off. Are you using a MAF with the SMT6?

[Anguz]

is this an m50?

How'd you get the dent out? You do it or a shop?

[kingston]

Thanks again for the good press guys. My new camera came in yesterday, I think I'll take the car out today for some more shots. :D

clean car, what suspension are you running?

Thanks, the suspension was on the car when I bought it but I was told they were "HD Bilstein shocks and springs," so I am assuming they are whatever default spring/shock suspension is popular. They seem to work well, the ride is actually quite nice. The car eats highway miles.

Wow really nice car! I gotta few questions for ya.
What size tires are you running and what is the exhaust set-up?

I saw your M3 over on Bimmer forums, it looks great as well!

Also for tint removal you can spray an ammonia based product on the tint then tape a balck garbage bag (that has been opened up) over the tint and then park it in the sun. It creates a green house effect and makes it pretty easy to remove.

Thanks for the tint removal tips, I do not ever plan to either tint my car again unless I am living somewhere swelteringly warm, or at least do the removal myself. I still don't have all the little side globs totally off the glass, and I'm too sick of trying to get into the angled crannies to go back again.

I run 225/50/15 Toyo T1-Rs, they have a pretty soft sidewall so the car is no real back road scalpel, but it goes straight very well and I am constantly impressed with the traction it has off the line throughout 3rd gear. I assume it's due to the high sidewall, because the engine is now making about as much power after the SMT6 box as it was in OBDII form in my M3, and I can still get decent traction off the line and anywhere in first and second gear as long as I don't do something stupid.

The exhaust is custom from the stock exhaust manifolds to an AA track pipe resonator, and then custom again to a B&B Tri-Flo can that I recycled from my totaled 97 M3:

Nice ride. Something goin on with the front fenders? Lines look slightly off. Are you using a MAF with the SMT6?

Sadly, yes. Something happened to the car this past Winter when the transmission failed and I had it towed to the shop - The front bumper has always been slightly askew, but when I got it back from that event everything was totally trashed, the fenders look like they were tweaked and they are honestly pretty far beyond "slightly" off:





You can see it a lot better from this angle, which is where I avoid shooting the car from. I have to get everything realigned, and hoped that the shop that fixed my roof would do it for me, but they did not have time and I did not feel like adding the requisite labor charges to the bill.

My rear bumper is also pulled down a bit on the passenger side, another lovely reminder of this Winter's failure.

I run a 3.5" MAF with my SMT6.

is this an m50?

Yes, a built S52 out of a 99 M3 IP-class race car.

How'd you get the dent out? You do it or a shop?

Shop. I wouldn't know where to begin fixing it.

i love this mans e30 !

[Takahashi]

best e30 ftw!!!

[jeswaw]

I love the aggressive look of this car. The silver wheels vs the black ones looks tons better. No tint also adds to the subtle look. Well done!

[Pac1373]

I agree the contrasting wheels are hot, This car is very, very nice. great work. the motor is sexy defined.
