Zinno e30- New Member

[Ferguson]

Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum, but I'm also a member to BcBimmers and 604gas.

Anyways, thought I'd introduce myself here as well as my 2nd e30 I've owned
To start, its an 89' zinno 325i that I bought from a buddy about 8 months ago.

So far as mods and maintenance go, here is the list:

5 spd swap from my m20 2.8 stroker that got crushed

4.10 LSD

H&R Race springs, e90 drop hats, bilstein sports

325ix rear sway bar

euro plate filler

modded stock airbox for more induction noise

brand new oem catback

suede shit boot and ebrake, with e39 leather handle.

momo steering wheel (not sure of what design)

Racing Dynamic 15x7 et26 rims, with Falken Azenis 1st gen 205/50/15

modded fogs to run without low beams

Super Blue ate brake fluid

and all the maintenance to go with it...soon to do timing belt and water pump.

and here for a couple pictures. Ill upload more tonight when i get home..






This last picture is with e30 m3 springs...before i got the H&R race in..


After I get back from mexico, Im picking up a tan leather sport interior to
put in it and that will be sometime in april...Ill post pics when its in!

Thanks for viewing my car, hope to meet some interesting people on here
and get lots of info.

Good looking car. Looks just like mine except clean. Lol

Looks like a nice find, Zinno is easily my fav red.

The RD wheels are one of my favs too, so in my book, that car is rockin!

Welcome to R3V,

Jealous of that rack. And also is that a 6er in one of those shots??!

[george graves]

That's really low for just being m3 springs. I'd almost say those aren't m3 springs.

Hot damn - you got a lot done in 8 months.

Big props on all the work you've outlined.

(also a fan of those RD wheels)

Welcome to the forum! Great find, really clean!

[Brezzi]

lots of win going on here. I have a soft spot for red and RD's. What did you do to your air box tho, put holes in the bottom half?
