    Our cars are twins:



    Mine came with these TireRack 15" wheels. They're okay, but would prefer some Euroweaves or BBS RS.

    I tend to like the contrast of the chrome trim. Shadowline would be too monochromatic for my tastes.

    I'd say fix your antenna, space out the weaves and get a nice chrome single tip with an angled offset like the factory. A little tint looks good on D-Schwartz, too.

    Right now I'm rolling around on the stock steelies with hubcaps on 195-55-14 tires...looks like a roller skate!

      Lookin good sir! I think I remember your car from my first diamond schwarz thread, back when I first got my car. haha.

      Here's mine, before I bought it off my aunt.
      A bunch of things were broken, and didn't work, but I loved it.
      The feeling of owning a BMW, and it being the first car I ever saved up and paid for was unmatchable..

            As I said before, I want to have a sporty yet classy daily driver.
            I'm just interested to see what R3V thinks will fit my criteria.
            I've seen countless member's cars on here, and I'm still trying to figure out a look unique to my own. I've been pretty pleased with how my car has looked up till now, I'm just starting to get a tad bit bored with the look, and want to change some things up - even if they're subtle at first.

            As for wheels: I think that euroweaves may be the winner.
            As much as I love the RS, I feel like they're starting to get a bit repetitive, with so many people sporting them on their E30's.

              great idea! It seems like members always have decent ideas at meets for upgrades that I can never remember later.

                  What's the next step lower than the Eibach Pro-kit?
                  I definitely notice the rake I have going on, and I think I may be going a little lower this summer.

                    black kidneys, euro grill, maybe take the antenna completely out and plug it?

                      done

                      and eibach pro-kit springs suck. Same spring rate as stock springs. Get H&R race

                        Antenna has to go.
                        I like the stock look of the car but if you keep the rake a touch lower would help. Rear head rests on the 4 doors alway look good. Lots you could do, little you need to do.

                          That height is perfect for a daily driver. Color is perfect no need for paint. De-badge, all red tails, antena, euro trim ( euro grills more specifically) chrome exhaust tip

                            No need to od such a clean original e30

                            all you need is
                            -euro trim and grills
                            -smiley ellips
                            -euroweaves (or space the 14" weaves)
                            -chrome muffler tip and antenna
                            headlight wipers would be a nice touch. And I would get a modest professional tint but thats just me

                            Only thing I'd ad to that is maybe IS front and deck lips.

                            Hows the interior?
