My first e30, also my first car!!!

maybe its just a canadian thing, but here me and all of my friends think that tan is 100x better looking than cloth, looks cleaner and more expensive. We even prefer tan to black most of the time. i've got to admit that the stock plaid fabric looks awesome and i offered to buy some from two guys and they both ended up selling to someone else... i love the tan so when i saw these i had to have them

That paint cleaned up pretty nice. But gotta ask, why did you want the tan? I think cloth looks much better.

awesome work, nice car, and all that good stuff...but holy shit dude adjust your ebrake. shit looks like its on viagra.

I had my rear brakes replaced this week, new rotors, new pads and rebuilt calipers sand blasted and painted red with black holder thingizz look cool. I would like better bigger brakes anyone know of any for the e30? .. stays stock spec for now. My ebrake is tight now and goes up about 2 or 3 inches :P

It feels GREAT and thats the most important. I don't care for Super short if it makes it feel too notchy. So for me 2.5 is perfect, Ill see how it breaks in :)
It doesn't look much shorter but keep in mind the height difference might play tricks on you. It feels much shorter, I'd even go to say it feels 30% shorter (throws)

Nice car. Not a fan of red but a lot of 318is cars came in red or white.
As for your lights not working its as simple as the little bulbs are gone. There are like 4 bulbs that make all that stuff light up. The one for drive cimputer thing is diff than the ones for the heater controls.
