My E30 update. AW 1989 325i

[joonsup]

It's been a while since I last posted pictures...about a year. Here's what I've done so far which includes a couple changes since last time. Criticism and suggestions welcome.
-Hartge Type A 16x7.5 et25. (+10 with current 15mm spacers)
-Yokohama S drives (205/50/16). I should have gotten 45s
-HR Sports with Bilstein HDs all around with 15mm drop hats up front
-Eibach front and rear lower sways
-Sparco strut bar
-Ground control RSMs
-Brembo blank discs with Hawk HPS pads
-BMA stainless steel brake lines

-Stock M20 motor with K&N drop in filter
-Custom exhaust (Magnaflow muffler with mandrel bent piping from Top Speed catback exhaust.
-3.73 LSD
-Mtech 2 oem front valence, IS sideskirts and rear spoiler, Racing Dynamics rear apron
-6K HID lows, 3K HID fogs
-Painted tailights
-Momo Devil 350mm steering wheel
-Z3 1.9 shifter

I wish the rear wheels fit a little more "flush" but until I get a stiffer suspension setup I won't be able to make that happen whether i get bigger spacers or some 16x9s, etc...

I also think it may look cleaner w/out the spoiler or a diff spoiler but I dunno. Let me know what you guys think. suggestions, comments, haters, are welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very nice. It's a very refreshing combination of aesthetics. Hope to see you around the Bay Area.

Clean car man. If its constructive criticism you want I think you could do without the body kit on the rear bumper and just paint the stock bumper (leaving the black trim) and have it look more proportional. Space the rear wheels out a little and bring the car down and voila!

or just get the mtech 2 bumpers and you're golden.

PS Legion of Honor?

thanks for the ideas. It does look a little unproportional b/c of the front mtech and the rear RD apron. I just got both painted and installed the same weekend so I'm going to run it for a while and see how long before it bothers me enough to change either the front or the rear. haha.

I'm already rubbing a bit with 15mm spacers on the rear and i want it to poke out a bit more to make it a bit more flush with the fender but my suspension set up is too soft for me to run wider wheels so I'm waiting until I can afford some ground control c/o's. Thanks for the suggestions though! :up:

i would love the entire kit but i could only afford the front valence at this time haha. but i'll keep an eye out in the classified section. And yes you are correct. My friend took the pics at the Legion of Honor.

love the wheels.

[Wishno87]

Love everything but your front turns. They need to be smoked to blend in with your bumper trim.

thanks but i love YOURwheels haha. If I could I would like to have a set of the alpinas to switch off but they are so expensive.

ahhh thanks for pointing that out. I wonder if I could use a similar spray that I used to paint my tailights to paint the lenses to get them smoked. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks I've been around but haven't posted too many pictures. Hopefully a lot of the bay area e30 guys will be able to meet each other at some sort of meet or picnic that's supposed to come up in the near future.
