Hi E30 people! I'm new around here so I'll try my best to interact on this forum. I'm a 17 year old, btw. And yes, that does mean I don't pay for the car. My dad is. :P I'm looking forward to share my car with you guys. It wasn't my first choice though. Wanted a 325i with a 5-speed but that's pretty hard to come-by in Brunei. It's all the autotragics here. But I've been thinking of getting a coupé though. I'll just have to go with the auto. Yay or nay?
Oh, btw. Brunei is this small little country in Borneo if you guys were wondering. My 318i isn't much though, I got the car on the cheap here about B$3,400? That's about $2,600 USD. Now that I think about it, it sounds pretty expensive. :???: So, this is my '88 318i 5-speed. M-tech II replica? Not so sure. Just need some fog lights to complete the look!
My baby when I got it. This was during it's first maintenance check-up! Still in cheap maroon paint.
Side view with crappy cheap rims on. These rims are now just there lying outside the house. And oh, the guy who previously owned it might be crazy. He painted the window sills and door handles. Heck, he also painted the car key slot. I can't even. Lucky that he didn't paint the chrome trim!
The M40B18! Still wish it was an M20 though..:(
The car when it was getting painted. It took about 3 weeks to finish. Was a long wait, but worth it!
Shiny front grills I got from the neighbouring country, Miri.
This was when the car was getting it's dashboard filled in and stereo replaced. Notice the exhaust? It's not meant for the 318. Hopefully it won't be there for too long.
The car when it was FINALLY at home. Love this view. :D
The existing grill was crap. It was broken and painted over with matte silver paint. So, I decided to just get it painted black. Turned out good.
A few weeks later or so, I got my rims. Wanted to get BBS reps but they were in grey. Didn't want to paint it 'cause it'll be a hassle for my dad. Got these instead. It looks like the CSL rims on the E46 but smaller. 17" on the E30 looks alright.
The finished product so far~
If you notice, you'll see my dad's E36 328i Cabriolet. It's imported from the UK. My dad got it for his birthday in '95. He wanted to get the E36 M3 but I don't know why he changed his mind. Oh, he ordered in full M3 spec though! Will post more pictures of that soon!
And this is how it currently how it looks like!
I am hoping to get some feedback from you guys. I'd love it if you guys could suggest what else to do with my car. Hehe. Enjoy!
