    "Now I have a E30. Ho ho ho."

    New to the bmw scene. Just thought i'd post a few pics of my recent purchase and plans for it.
    91 e30 5spd 318is in God sent condition even WITH 200k on it and ME being the 3rd owner.
    So far she's stock as hell. But I DID purchase a m54b30 long block day the other for 600! Now to find a m50 for my stroker ;)
    Anyway here it is





    Still havent figured out suspension. I'm leaning more towards KW after researching every coil option possible. Being that I work 60 hrs a week, I really dont have the time to play with mix and matching suspension setups.
    Cant decide on a nv or vanos stroker yet either. I have NO plans to boost. Any opinions would be appreciated

      I have been tossing between KW and AST's for my car. Ultimately decided on the AST's. Should we be expecting an M54 swap?

          Not a m54 swap but a 3.0 stroker.
          Gotta get to the junkyard to snatch a M50. Haven't decided on what to do with the m54 head yet.
