    My humble Diamantschwarz 318is

    Picked this sweet little ride up from DrFraserCrane here on r3v, he gave me a sweet deal I couldn't refuse.

    My E30 and my first car. I hope to own more in the future :)

    The day I brought it home



    Communing with nature

    Post-wash, pre-dry



    On my list of things to do:
    Replace brakes
    Change all the fluids
    Adjust the clutch
    Do a good mechanical once-over

    Very excited to own this car. I'm sure I'll be adding my own touches to it very soon. Thanks to Fraser for keeping it in gorgeous shape.

          Going to put in a decent pair of euro ellipsoids, maybe try some different wheel combinations. I really want to keep it in good shape and clean, though.

          Definitely open to mod possibilities, I want to try to keep everything as tasteful as possible, but I'm very sure I will find some stuff I want to do soon.

            Humble ftw. I have your car +2 doors.

            On that note, I've seen so many DS late models recently on weaves & a drop.

                      I don't think it is, It is just a rougher paint, so it reflects light a bit differently.

                        Hey man :) Looking good as always. Also, I wasn't looking to sell them, but I do have a set of Schmidts I could consider letting go of, purely because they'd look so freaking good on your car.


                        Go here be happy!

                          Might take you up on that offer. I'd love to see how they would look.

                            Ugh, this reminds me of when I first got mine, back in 2003.

                            I need another E30...
