    Pictures of my Turbo E30 at NM Desert Fest 2012

    Hey guys,

    I have been lurking on this forum for quite some time. Not too much of a talker. However, I do know a few people on here like Mighty Whitey as we are from the same city. Regardless, I just wanted to post up some pictures of my recently finished E30 that is currently sitting on mismatched wheels until tomorrow. I am also lowering the rear another inch to match the front tomorrow. I picked her up around 2 months ago, and went ahead and threw a precision 6262 turbo and a few other goodies.

      Awesome! I'll be stopping in ABQ on the 18th. Maybe I'll see y'all around?

      Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.

          The fronts would not clear the struts, so I had to space them out a tad. Got the spacers in today, will have all the wheels on and lowered tomorrow.

          @Lambo, hell yeah! Stop at Oasis Smoke Shop & Hookah Lounge, all the BMW tend to kick it there.

                      I know mounting the oil cooler in front is the hip new style but I think it looks ridiculous.

                      Otherwise, I can definitely appreciate the build.

                        There was no safe room for this oil cooler, it went on the front because it had to. It had nothing to do with looks, if I wanted to look hellagay, I would have stanced it and cambered the wheels LOL...
