    Hey guys, Noobie here! 91 E30 vert build

    ;D
    So starting up this build thread of my first e30 & thread on r3v!
    91 325i. Great body, paint, interior with a few small things needed here & there a little TLC couldn't handle. Ive pretty much already ordered a few of the first mods, with many more things to come!

    Little list of things needed/wanted that i ordered:

    -Raceland full coil overs [until i go the bagged route] currently on Vogtland springs, and KYB shocks
    -ESM 007 15x9 +10/+15 [CCW knocks] until i bite the bullet on real CCWs or alike wheels
    -iS Lower valence lip [was missing] along with clips
    -Nardi Woodgrain steering wheel
    -NRG short hub
    -Rear wind deflector
    -Euro elipsoid headlights
    -Euro front grille
    -Euro smoke taillights
    -New roundel bmw emblems
    -Driver door handle/handle cover
    -Custom center console with cup holders
    etc etc.

    There is still a lot to come with the build. With plans to install most not shown in pictures this coming weekend. Along with a swap & tuck/shave of the engine bay later on. i have two sets of the stock wheel/tire setups, so if anyone is on the lookout... LET ME KNOW :D As stated, first time owner and new to the e30 scene. Any advice, insight, concerns are all very welcomed! Please don't flame me too badly, I'm coming from the JDM scene after selling my old baby, 2001 GS-R pictured below.

          ah yeah, always a bias to stretched tires/low offsets in any scene. oh well, I'm not auto-x the car, beach cruiser/curb queen. Appreciate the welcome, and I'm sure i'll be asking for any help along the way from everyone

                Welcome aboard and I say it's yours skate it if you want too. You have to drive it and you have to like it. Imo I don't like anything that hurts performance so I am not a fan of the bands, but I am a fan of the car and I think the wheels are real nice.

                  Completely understandable. Once I have it swapped and actually going for a little speed, I'll be getting rid of them and adding more efficient wheels/tires setup. & thanks!

                    Euro tail visually looks identical to stock US tail light. If you want to change it up, you can run MHW (smoked or all red) lights (you can make all red tail with your stock taillights)
