My daily '84 318i m30 swap

[Holland]

M10s seem to be on the rise lately. Nice ride. Clean & simple. It may not be fast or brake at all, but I still love early 318s.

This is a jaded statement, but these cars have their "charm".

The first long exposure shot is quite nice.

Oh yes yes yes, hi there fellow m10-owner, you are doing it right :)

i'd like to do euro bumpers but that's one of the very last things on my list.
this early model is in desperate need of new arms, bushings, tie rod ends. has a leaking steering rack, needs new shocks, and i'd like to switch the brakes out to the 325 set up.

Maintenance over everything else, definitely. I'm glad you're planning on keeping the M10 for the time being, anyway haha.

I love the wheels.

How much did you get it for?
Btw nice pick up!

thanks! i paid too much. i was desperate for a car and it was my favorite of the 8 or 9 e30's i was scoping out at the time. it's all good, it's become mine and i've grown to love the m10 despite it's lack of power. simple to work on, parts are abundant and cheap. maybe one day when i pick up that 2002 i've always been eying the m10 experience will help me.

thanks for the kind words guys.

Sits pretty nicely with those ST springs, I may have to grab a set.

Are those the "new" Enkei 92's, or are they an original set? Also what size tires are you running?

new school 92's, 205/50/15

I approve. Just push your bumpers in, it's free to do, and will make a huge difference.

no bumper tuck for me, either euro's or as is. they make for a great bench to sit on when hanging around the car :-P

That color on the gold 92's is so beautiful...

I would do euro bumpers and not touch anything else on the exterior...

no serious plans for go fast bits aside from a 4.10 i got from grippy that a friend of a friend is going to help rebuild to LS. contemplating dual carb with MSII or maybe just run MSII on wasted spark... any opinions on this?

Damn what a sweet looking car. I'm jealous I'd love that for a DD
