85 325e w/ euros and k1s in Upstate SC

[chop_suey]

Well I finally took some pics to post up. Its an 85 325e w/ euro bumpers, valance, grills, and headlamps, Kosei K1s wrapped in 225/50 rubber. Its lowered on GAZ coils up front and 5in Hypercoil springs w/ no adjsuters in the rear, also has IE sways. She needs paint bad, most of the clear is comin off, but a blast to drive.

I added some pics of when I first got it a few posts down.

Let me know what yous guys think!

Looks nice. That's about what I'm going to do with my 325e, but with Ronal Turbos. Same roof rack and same amount of lowness and such.

Wow that looks fantastic. With some paint correction, it'll be DY NO MAYTE!!

This is exactly how i want my 85 325e to look like, great job man. Keep up the great work. btw is that a silver euro valance? I can never silver ones in ga.

are the euro bumpers different from 85 compared to 87? seeing how the valance is shorter i was just wondering

yes the euro valance from 83-85 is different from the 86-87 valance. not that the 83-85 have a more downward angled curve to them. the 83-85 also have brake cooling ducts on the lip.

Give me your euro setup! But really it looks really good.

IIRC you can't swap to euro bumpers. you have an 88, your only option would be to swap to plastic bumpers.

Yes it's a silver valance, once I finally decide to paint it ill color match it, but it'll be way down the road.

Everyone thanks for all the like and positive feedback!!

The bumpers are the same up to 87, just the valances are different.

Yes I remember that car, love the looks of it. I have a set of fogs for the valance but they're busted, so I may get some eventually. The one thing I feel my car really needs is an Mtech spoiler, like the ones on e28s.
