1987 325i S52

[DancinDog]

Greetings from Sonoma County in the SF northbay... I'm very delighted to share with you my newest addition to the household. I just recently became obsessed with having an e30. But it had to be fast cuz I'm a little spoiled with my 2001 M Roadster...Many thanks to the members of r3v for handling some basic questions in finding the right car. It is very fun and now I have a bimmer to drive in any condition. BTW, how does one get your photos directly onto this thread w/o having to use attachments?

Where about in Sonoma County? I'm from Rohnert Park

[mdschurtz]

not a fan of the wheels or the Angle Eyes, i would personally paint the window trim black and add a front lip

[DancinDog]

Front lip coming & also thinking about a rear black spoiler. I'm in Rohnert Park, D section!

What happened to the fog lights? Looks clean, and it's got an s52. Nice place to start.

Welcome! those lights are ugly...

Am I missing something here? OP said the motor was from a 95 M3. Which would mean that the motor is an S50. Not an S52. And it wouldn't have been swapped to OBDI because it would have already been running that.

Exactly what I was thinking! How about some underhood pics? Those MRoadsters are just badass too, how about some pics of that? We all love to see that stuff, y'know?

Welcome to R3V...where everyone will hate those lights. Sorry.

Ok, Ok, I'll do something with the lights, suggestions? Will check into engine facts...

Ellipsoids, Euro Smilies, Smoked Hellas, these would all look good.
I don't like the rims myself, but to each his own I guess.
Looks like a clean car though, with plastic bumper swap. Not many of those around.

EDIT: Ohh, and I'd do a shadowline to go with the PBs.

looks like a good start
