    My freshly imported 88 e30 touring M30 swap

    Just picked this up at the Baltimore port yesterday and drove it home.

    It an 11/88 build date with an M30 swapped in and mtech2 cloth. It's snowing like mad right so more pictures in time.

    Here are some from the trip yesterday.

    This was the first look of it still at the port. There was actually another touring and a non touring e30 right next to it.



    Then we swapped some snow tires on it for the drive home.


    Stopping to fuel up

              Let the wave of Touring's commence. Look good too bad the Brocks or Azev's are dual drilled.

                      It's really not that complicated to bring them in. As long as it is 25 years old.

                          Those are so cool, especially a LHD one. Sadly, a no-go for sunny CA. Never pass smog without $$$ for a CARB sticker.
