    My '91 318is

    Hey guys, I've been part of r3v for a year and I just started posting things and stopped being such a noobie on this site. I didn't really think that I should post my car up cuz its not as nice as some of the others on here hah. But I said screw it and want to show what I got.

    I'm 18 years old. Just graduated. This is my second e30 in two years. My first car and e30 was an '85 318i that i bought for under $500. It had a lot of issues an turned out to be costing me and my dad more than what we intended. So she is now on stands in our shop being the part out car. Last January my dad found this clean '91 318is for under $1500. I loved it at first sight. This car is what I have always wanted. Well color anyway but its a great car just needs some more loving to it then the previous owner. Me and my dad changed out the suspension. She has KYB shocks on it and we installed tweeters and factory speakers in the back. Cleaned the carpet out and made her look a lot better!

    *UPDATE* Just put on my H&R Sport springs soo now she is riding low! I have put in a new shift/e-brake boot. Leather with BMW stitching and put a leather e-brake hande on. I just got my fog lights and M-Tech I steering wheel. Haven't put those last two on but will shortly. Oh and also putting on a new magnaflow this weekend!

    *UPDATE*Today just got my new exhaust and chrome tip on my car! Sounds money and looks REALLY good!

    *UPDATE*Just posted pics of my new interior. Check it out on page 3

    *NEW* IS lip is finally on. Check last page.

    So here she is. Hope u like it. If not. Tough.





















    This is what I'm going to do with the rest of some of the pieces on the engine like the face template

    Planning on getting a new passenger side fender for it

    When we bought it from the previous owner he said that someone had broken into the car and broke the key hole but it still works but looks like shit

    Also planning on getting new front and rear valance bumpers for her



    And the newest project for her is putting on my new H&R sports soon soo she is lower ;) Then also getting some floor mats.


    Well like I said she isn't the best looking but is a work in progress! Thanks for looking!
