Just Turned 16 and My Parents Bought Me An E30 M3!

[Butler]

4300$ where? repairs?

Purchase price + repairs + mods.

lol @ spending more than 1000 on an ETA

As stated in the op, I paid $800 for it.

4K and you still have the old window moldings, drop that thing and tuck the db's.

I know, its sad that I haven't replaced or at least painted those nasty moldings. But the suspension is all new. IE3s on Billstien sports. I know its not slammed, but it handles pretty good.

[elmercc]

I like your suspension set up...nice stance but not crazy slammed. Just enough. Question though, are those 14" basketweaves or are they 15" Euroweaves or weaves of an IX with spacers??

[Butler]

Thanks, they're 15'' IX weaves.

[Moose]

Would love to have something similar for a daily, looks good!

[tak7]

Compare your $4300 car to other (non e30) cars = wise choice imo.

[davem]

I lol'd. I like your car tho, just paint those brown lock strips!

[elmercc]

Are you running any spacers with the IX weaves, or did they just bolt right on?

[Butler]

No you have to run at least 10mm spacers. The offset is way too high for non ix cars.

Never ever add the numbers or crying will begin

I added up a rough estimate in my head of what I spent on my 240 & felt very very sad..

Enjoy it! I like the turn signal/plate combo

Pro-tip: Lose the half-of-a-Abrahams-Motorsport sticker on your front valence, and upgrade your valence to a late model unit with IS lip.
180 for valence on ebay + 115 IS lip from blunt = win


Dont even itemize your E30 expenditures. Ive probably spent 13-15k over the past couple years and dont have shit to show for it hardly.
GL with your car :)

If only money grew on trees...
But really, if I have the car long enough I see it getting a late model valence and probably a full respray. We'll see.

The windshield moldings come to about $120.00 from Pelican parts. Worth every penny IMO, painted doesn't look as clean.

[MattM]

can you believe that I've spent $4,300 on my fucking eta?!

i can, that number x4 gets close to what i spent on mine;)

[mtechnik]

Just get euro smilies. Leave the mustard look to the french.

Agreed.

Feeling your pics just as they are too.
