    Went to the darkside (non-e30 content)

    So I sold the e30 and moved on to a 1998 M3 sedan.
    I love it so far.

    Just picked up the car a few days ago









    Here are the things I can think of that it has.

    Engine:
    101k Miles
    CAI

    Suspension:
    Ground control Coilovers
    Bilstein shocks
    Strut bar (not sure of the brand)
    Sway bar (not sure of the brand)

    Brakes:
    Stoptech Front big brake kit

    Interior:
    Gutted rear back seat and door panels
    Custom roll Bar buy TCdesign
    Recaro pole position drivers seat w/ VAC motorsports sliders
    Recaro fully adjustable passenger seat

    Exterior:
    Clear turn signals
    Tcdesign tow hook
    Euro Taillights
    Paint is really really nice, besides rock ships in the front.
    When people see the car they think it has been repainted

    Came with all the stock suspension components, interior, and 5 kosei k1s.

    Car handles and drives great!
    I will have more pictures of the car soon!

    Plans for now
    Replace clutch ASAP
    Dye exterior trim
    Replace Rear windshield seals
    Replace some speakers
    Get wheel studs and lugs
    Fix alarm (new siren hopefully)

            I love M3 sedans! Are you going to keep the roll bar and seats as is?

              Nice ride. I almost picked up the same car except in Silver. Just decided that I needed more room instead of another performance car so I got an E39 instead. Those E36 M3's have come down a lot. You can get one for the price of a nice E30! I've got my eye on those E46's though.

                  Nice car and seems like you got a great deal as well. The sticker on the trunk really kills it though IMO.

                    Yep keeping it how it is! I love it.
                    Roll bar is welded in.
                    It would be to big of a hassle to cut it out and look kind of dirty.

                    Yeah e36's have definitely come down in price!
                    Really depends on the miles. Hopefully they go up in price now that i own one haha.

                    Yeah It was an awesome deal!
                    Yeah some people said it does kill it. Ill probably take it off.

                      I have the stock suspension and all the stock stuff if any of you guys are interested for some 5 lug goodies. Thinking about selling the mdouble spokes as well and putting the koseis on it.
