        Refreshing seeing a stock e30. If you're thinking about wheels, a stock set of weaves would do justice to the car.

          Euro weaves would be complete justice.

          Awesome find!

            Thanks guys! Weaves would look good, but I just picked up some Borbet B's.

              I want to keep using this thread for my updates instead of creating a new one. I went ahead and tackled the suspension and brakes first.

              The suspension i bought cheap with only 1k miles. They are KW V1 coilovers. Brake disks are Textar in front, zimmerman rears. Pads are Textar.

              The difference is undeniably awesome. It is so responsive, even with my clean ass bottle caps. It is set about midway, closer to low, on the height. I am going to get my Borbets refinished soon and should really look good once they are on.

              The engine is also a real treat, even for a 325E. I feel it delivers a good amount of torque and have easily peeled out on accident, or not, a few times :)

              Next up is sourcing an M Tech I somehow and get her cosmetically up to my standards. Eventually, and probably last, will be the engine.

              Sorry but i only have these two pics as she sits now.

                  All stock is boring. New drop looks great, a nice set of wheels and I'd leave at that.

                    That's literally a car you might want to just stick away in a garage and forget about it. Flame suit on but we will see in 10 years.

                      Only other thing I would do to this car is add a set of weaves, clean up the paint and enjoy the ride. Nice to see a stock car.

                        I dont drive too much so miles will stay relatively low.

                        Weaves are a popular choice but im sticking with the borbet b's. Thank you

                          So fresh so clean. Nice. Nothing better than a rust free e30. M3 springs and Bilsteins are really great too. I want to see it in person.

                            Thanks man! These coilovers aint bad either. So far they've handled very well. Let's get together for a cruise soon.

                                Dude has anyone ever told you that you should get some weaves?
