    I've slowly turned my E30 into a VW throughout the years

    Really long story short, when I was looking for my first car, I wanted something that was lightweight, small, RWD, manual, and cheap; the E30 seemed to meet all of those requirements. I bought her during my senior year of highschool back in 2010 from a fellow forum member. The original plan was maintenance, drop, and wheels. A little after 4 years, and a few other distractions, that original plan has come to fruition.

    big highlights include:
    bottlecaps->basketweaves->BBS RS
    tan comfort seats -> Plaid sport seats
    stock suspension -> Bilstein and H&R sports


    future plans include:
    -Fix AC
    -Mtech1 wing
    -Euro Smilies

    When I picked her up:

    How she sits today:

                  True, they're pretty common on E30s. Maybe it's just me, but I feel in the last year or two, people are trying to be different and get other wheels. Which works for me, they're so cookie cutter anyway

                  But thanks!

                  I appreciate the criticism, but I don't have the high beams yellow strictly for looks. I drive a few mountain roads and roads in the middle of the desert with no light poles pretty often. I love the the contrast the yellow high beams give in the nighttime and it helps me see a lot better vs the regular white high beams.
