I'm new to r3v, Here's my M42

[VitaminJ]

I purchased my '91 E30 318is M42 in June, and have begun my project!!
Before I had my license, I was always fascinated with BMW's, for their style, and overall performance characteristics...
I chose to go with the E30 for the price, and I love the retro boxy style of them...
I chose the m42 because I've heard great things about the engine, and thought it would be economical to go with the 1.8 liter...

Wow, that's a nice example there. Love the interior!

[SchnellerVert]

Does it have a matching rear seat. Those interiors rule.

[Matt86es]

Nice seats, and it's cool to see someone else rocking the Coco's. I love mine.

Nice looking car, I always liked the M-Cloth........

[VitaminJ]

Thanks, I was very suprised when I stumbled upon the interior, I love it... The rear seats match the front..

Not in that car. It only came in EVO M3's, IIRC.

[vlad]

Of course... I'm thinkin bilstein sport shox and H&R sport springs... I'd love to do a coilover setup but my funds are limited...

That should be comming next spring with some rims...

yeah, definitely didn't come stock in that car. It must have been owned by an enthusiast at one point. The interior of that car is worth about a third of it's value. That cloth is so fucking expensive... if you can find it.
