    My ride and mods

    My ride is a 87 325es. I have the M-tech 2 replica bumpers( not suggested cause they are a bitch to fit wel,l but i managed), 15" BBS wheels, Z4 short shifter( 40% throw reduced!), Sparco X speed knob( sits too high, it looks like i dont have a short shifter),
    JVC head unit, Racing Dynamics springs, machined the and ported the head, Magnaflow exhaust (middle deep and throaty), replaced dash, replaced windsheild and Clifford Alarm and Euro ellipsoids.
    I am hoping to finish my mods by mid summer which include: Alpina kopi wheels, powdercaot valve cover and manifold, new shift knob and pedals, Jim C Chip, drop in K&N filter as well as a front strut bar.
    Thanks






    I work part time at a BMW shop so ask me if you have any questions about any of your E30 models

        Yeah JVC does the job, but I'm into audio, so it doesn't suit me. Nice avatar by the way :crazy: LOL, I've got an Easton Synergy in my car right now.

          looking good and clean. What size tires are you running...it doesn't look to be lowered much but i just think it's the tires.

          Also how do you like the z4 ssk?

              The tire size is 225/50 15 i believe, and the short shift from the Z4 is such a wicked upgrade! My car doesnt look that low in the pics but its about 1.3 inches lower than stock
              Thanks for the comments! :)

                And for the wheels, i saw a guy selling the same ones on E30sport a while ago, he is the only other person i have seen with them. They have a 1 1/2 inch lip and i had them powdercoated about 3 months ago
                If anyone is interested in just the wheels they can make me an offer and of course i would show them detailed pics! :)

                  the tires look small, but it's hard to tell because the pics are so blurry. You need to shadowline that trim badly but otherwise it looks great. diggin the wheels! i think you should keep those and just get bigger tires to fill out the wheel wells.

                      Take some pics in the light! That car looks pretty tits in those pics. Mtech2s are sweet, do you have the sideskirts too?

                      Love the color! :D Those wheels are sweet too, like the Ronal/Euro mesh but a little more open. That looks like another clean looking Eta. Keep those wheels, shadowline, and drop that that would finish the style.

                      Im now E30less.

                          no, those are BBS RZ's, 15x7 et20... pretty scarce, especially in the USA.

                              Body colored mirrors would do wonders for the aesthetics of your car.

                              Those BBS rims kick ASS!
