    How my love for e30's started,a little story

    so my love for e30s started around when my good friend swapped his 1.8 for an m50 vanos :p











    so i saved from my job for about 2 years and bought my first 91 318is for 1500 :p





    it was a pretty good price for it in the condition it was in,had a/c and new tires with an alignment. Shortly after this my friend sold his swapped car and bought his boat





    then after having fun out in the everglades my friend missed his e30 and bought a lazurblau rebuilt m20 325is





    a couple pics of the two





    interior of the 1.8




    His first idea was 5 lug



    then came time to start swapping !!



    came out pretty dope !



    finally ordered my coils and came out to a very nice height









    so then a couple months past and my 1.8 started knocking and draining oil and burning a quart of oil every 3 days. so i had to sell before something else went bad cause i didn't have the money atm to fix her up :/. so i sold her and said my goodbyes </3



    so i bought my good friends rebuilt m20 and had fun with it for a while until the tranny blew out on me and got stuck in a gear -__-



    took out the engine and was on the way of putting a new one in.



    finally she was done and back on the road :) !



    BUT with my luck 2 months later and old bitch ran a STOP sign and ruined my quater panel :/





    so finally i replaced the trailing arms, the old one was bent luckily i found one off of craigs. so this is how she is sitting now while i save money and repair her battle scar. i hope everyone enjoyed my little story ! ;)
