    $500 Beater

    Update: as of now I have completed the 5 lug set up and currently waiting on kamotors flares so I can go lower. I am all the way up on gc coils. Excuse the filthy car and wheels.
















    This is at Archie's cars and cones. Hopefully more e30s show up next time but it was fun!





    A friend let me borrow his wheels and this is the result. Don't mind the rear camber. Bent control arm has been replaced.

    Some people on here will say you need more camber ;).

    Calypso is awesome.

    Alpina is awesome.

    Repaint your rockers.

    Awesome car!

                  I bought it for 500 put a new head on it, different dash, heater box, carpet, seats, door panels (tan original interior). The ground controls, IE sways, z3m each with power steering delete, every bushing condor makes for this car. Then just recently I installed a Lithuanian short shifter from NP parts. I angling 5 lug soon. Just need to finish gathering the rear stuff. I have aset of staggered style 32s (17x8/9) and a set of e39 style 5s. I can't wait to get some new wheels. The chrome bottle caps are depressing.

                  EDIT: the paint also got a color sandans buff but it is a ee spray from
                  The previous owner which is chipped and peeling in many places.

                    I don't think ive ever seen a better looking car for $500. Good choice on buying a car with good paint, that can be the most expensive repair of all sometimes.

                        How is the Z3 rack without power steering? I have a stock rack without power steering and I really don't mind it, I actually kinda like it; even on a daily driver.
                        It's not bad paint, it's called "patina"

                              It's a huge difference over stock. It's worth it.
