BTW the rear valence thing/ sideskirt is early model 325iX, but the side skirts are late model iX.

Take a look at my early model iX for reference. Notice the lines on the side skirts, thats early model while yours are smooth (late model)

I love this color! A I have a buddy that has savanna beige. I love rare e30 colors.

Yes, I love them too. Wow - that is rare! Here's a sav beige if anyone's wondering:

Loving everything about this car and those steering wheels are badass. Very surprised at how affordable they are as well. Definitely considering ordering up a Monaco variation in the future for my 2002 build when the time comes.

Yessir - been following your build for a loong time! Would love to get one in your car! Email me when you're ready :p

he gets that alot!

also OP why did u take off those awesome wheels?

wanted to go more aggressive. Been running some version of BBS Mahles or RA's on VW's and BMW's for over a decade, kinda like to keep it fresh to keep me excited. Ya know?:o

I loveee this car. Welcome to the euro spec club

Thanks a lot man! I have 2 other euro spec e24's and e28 - but this is the first e30! And in a color I've been really into for a while - lucked out!

Update - replaced fuel pump relay - more reliable but still pump isn't turning on sometimes. I wiggle the relay and it'll come on and off - push wires below socket into relay and stays on. Def have to solder / clean that up - hoping it should be good after that! But picked up a new bosch main fuel pump to throw in also to be sure. Hope that makes this thing reliable!

In other news - the 90's austrian built Sebring muffler kept the car way too quiet. I could hear all the awesome noises pre exhaust so I cut at pipes pre muffler - here's a vid. Its only been 24 hrs like this and its just insane, downshifting off the freeway and giving 10% throttle, it pops and bangs and makes the most glorious muscle car / transam ///M1 sounding noises... but on acceleration in town I feel like such an ass. No matter how little noise I try to make, its just unnecessarily harsh and loud. Car has 2 into 2 cat on it, and there's an aftermarket header too - should I just add a resonator before two dual straight pipes? I want to quiet it down a bit but not much - def like this car to be super raw and raunchy. I have others that are nice and make more appropriate noises.

sweet - where in the city are ya. I take the car all over daily, oakland too. Kinda like the height its at right now cause its not really in danger of smashing the oil pan or front bumper.

im in the richmond district. have my e30 parked out of the city with no reg, till i have a place to work on it and get it BAR'd. The city is rough on really low cars for sure.
