My 3 month old e30 325es

[Bimmerista]

I've had this car for a little while, I recently heard about this site & decided to join. I'm a prominent member on e46fanatics & bimmerforums, and hope to extend my stay here as well.

I have an '02 E46 that I'm planning on selling & I have a '86 eta I picked up back in September. I've done most of the mechanical work it needed so far & I have a few subtle mods done (red guage needles, 5W bulb for the speedometer, new shift knob, & M-Tech II steering wheel). I have big plans for this car, but since I'm a university student currently, most of my funds are being drained by that.

Anyways....enjoy the pics!! I do plan on getting 15" euro basketweaves, new tint, CD Player, rear skirt, & paint the bumpers within the next few months.

looks like a nice start for another fine e30. Welcome to r3v, population of arrogant rude fairly informed euro elitests. You'll either learn to love or hate this place. Just let you know, if you get dissed, just laugh cause most of us are just jokin.

Nice E30... even nicer E46. That thing looks stealth, and I am not usually a fan of E46 325i's.

Here is what you need to do. take the money you get from selling the e46 buy a crappy DD and throw lots of money at your car and make it beautiful.

[Bimmerista]

Thanks for the compliments! Yes, I do need to sell this particular e46, but I'll most likely pick up another e46 (ZHP) or a e39 M5 (price permitting).

As far as mods go for the e30, its pretty much what I stated above, plus off the top of my head: Mark D Chip, diff upgrade (not too familiar with diffs just yet), short shift kit, E36 M3 springs, E36 M3 steering rack, ellipsoids, HID kit, & some more stuff.

Just FYI... there are much better springs than the e36 m3 ones. H&R Race, IE Stage 3, etc. Also, for the eta (325, 325e, 325es) a good diff upgrade is the 3.25 from the e28's I believe. You have to swap output flanges as far as I know. The stock diff is a 2.93. You will rev higher on the highway, but the car will accelerate much quicker than stock. Welcome to r3v. And as said before... we are assholes. Deal with it beyotch :D
