Great vid. Not much on the stanceworks thing, but nice car for sure.

Those E9's started my long-held crush on BMW car design. I loved the silver couple look especially. So about 30 years later, finally have an E30!

Dumb. That much rear camber ruins the motorsports heritage and purpose of the car. Might as well rust it at this point.

lmaoooooooooooo

E9's are so pretty. I would rock it more OEM but props nonetheless

I absolutely love the car. After reading how you don't consider yourself a writer well you should hire a writer for stanceworks, You do have awesome pictures but the articles lack so much information its frustrating. Short and concise yes but lacking many things i care about such as build thread, specs on suspension (kind of a big part of stanceworks), and maybe more of a story about the car. I love the site and everything stanceworks does!

BTW you having another tailored event in Tacoma washington this summer? By the way seattle is not tacoma haha

I'm hoping you been sarcastic, but if not then that statement is far from true. If it was a CSL, then it would have been ruined, it is just a 2800. And that is coming from someone that owed an E9 and is all about vintage motorsport livery.

Still wondering about those pics you shot with the factory csl? Ever post them?

Yup! There's a thread on bimmerforums, or on BMW's official facebook page. :)

Its just because the rear fenders are cut lower in the back. The car actually has forward rake according to the rockers. IMO, it is a quintessential part of BMW styling for the rear fenders to be lower than the fronts. If the car sits level, obviously the rear fitment will be closer, or tuck more than the front depending on how you set it up.

I'll take a pic for you guys to show how much rake the car has to have to have even tuck front and back. It's rather silly looking. Drag car status, if you will. Thank you though :)



Hugely appreciated. I don't fancy myself a writer, but just happened to pick it up. I failed my writing prompts in high school and got Cs on most papers, so its humorous to be regarded as a writer by many these days.
I think it came from my first english professor in college. Not sure what it was she did, but she made something click, and I find a bit of enjoyment in writing things I care about.

Interesting perspective, I've always thought that the low front with high sides & rear was the stereotypical BMW profile, e.g. any Alpina car. I did like the car's stance a bit better in it's previous iteration, but it's yours to build, so rock on with your slammed self.

How close is "Rusty" to being back again?

+1

Shut up Denis ;) coming from a guy that bitches about NYC roads all day. Ever been down south? not like the shit city roads, plus he is bagged. When are you going to coil your track car? or still running springs hehe


@Mike
I think it needs a drop and a iS lip.

Kidding aside I love everything but the lower than front rear. Just looks funny with a reversed rake. I know it is bagged...but why not make it even?

This is my dream BMW. One day

I've always loved this car...and I feel the HREs made great impact. To be honest, I am a fan of all your work but I have to admit that I appreciate your writing the best. I look forward to my weekly trip over to SW to read your articles. Keep it up as it's refreshing to have a good story teller in the midst of a community with no love for writing, punctuation or grammar.
