BMW e30 M3 with s50 motor

[kingston]

And THAT'S one heck of an endorsement on this board!

thanks blunttech. But yea I plan on changing the wheels to some bbs rs, kw coilovers, big brake kit, and just fixing up the exterior which was made clear. Interior is pretty much flawless with no cracks in dash except I need to fix one of the instrument cluster night time running lights which isn't a problem. Other than that just going to keep it clean.

thanks bro

I wasn't hating or trying to be harsh. Those wheels just don't fit, just being honest. Its still an e30 m3 and I'm jealous.

Relax Ian, they are really just trying to help. It's an E30 M3 so everyone would like to see it looking it's best and little things like proper badge placement add up. Kinda like when people put the model badge on the LEFT side of the trunklid...like a Mercedes. Just drives us crazy. It's only because we hold the car to such high regard.

Welcome to the forum and I am jealous.

[ian3]

Thanks bro...but its not on the left its still on the right lol, but i get the point...It WILL be fixed.

Didn't mean to sound all negative...

I for one stand behind anyone trying to bring back an E30 M3, I've got one too so I know the pain. Also I do really like those BBS RK's on an appropriately modded M3, and with the black-out and Evo II lip, yours certainly qualifies. I think a 10mm spacer on the back wheels will have them sitting perfect.

I do have a question though, what's with the bracing on the rear struts, plans for tracking the car?

[ian3]

the car has a s50 motor with some work so it is much more powerful than the s14...rear strut bracing was added to prevent chassis flex and to stiffen up the rear when the motor was put in by vacmotorsports.

Seems over kill. Been enough S50b30 and b32 done that have more hp and torque not to twist them plus many guys here have gone FI with S5X and didn't add this type of bracing.

Shame some one cut out the rear seat bulkhead for subwoofers. Yan-3 asked where you reside in Va as in NoVa there are numerous M3 in the area. RRT out in Chantilly is familiar with them if you need work done.

Where did you get the car from? This is not the formerly M30 Hartge car that was on DC Craigslist was it?

[YAN-3]

Ian once I get back from the sand box, we should get together
