    My Purple Bagged E30

    Hey guys, I have posted on here before but not much. I have waited awhile to put up pictures of my car for awhile now. So here is the official start of it. I started out with an 1992 e36 325is, and a 1990 e30 325i (I learned how to drive stick in it) Sold them both for an 2000 E46 328ci, enjoyed that for awhile. But then sold that for this E30.

    I decided to come back to an E30. Its a 1991 325i, 2 door, 5 speed, has an unknown amount of miles, rust, your normal problems, but i decided to do a bunch to it. I still have many plans, but I did all the body work with the some help of my brother - We finished it in about 3 weeks before Bimmerfest East. I dyed the interior from Tan to Black. Repainted all the trim black. Fixed small little things. My Friend (Jason Hower) and my Uncle, Helped with the Air ride installation, I got my setup through Bag Riders. Jason's brother Shorty, gave me specs for the CCW's, but I went a size bigger with the front and rear just because, they were 16x9 et0 and 16x10 et 0. And I decided on the paint color myself. My dad and i also sprayed it together (I can thank him for the car problem that has slowly been developing)

    This is really a special car to me, I love everything about it. It has taught me a lot over the past couple of months, I met a lot of people because of it and I really don't know what i would be doing without it. There are plenty of things that I want to do it, but here are some pictures of the stages its been through. Taken by my good friend, Denis Podmarkov (Dpod)

    I'm trying to keep all the story/info short because i could go on for awhile. I'll let the pictures do the talking! :o

    We have been taking more pictures of it constantly, and these are just some that I could find quick to post on here. I will be putting up more and more, and i'll give a link to his blog that he adds the progress from then and now. dpod.info is his blog page, look for "That purple E30" there are many parts to it, but you can see more stages of the car that way.

    Since these I have sold the CCW's and picked up a set of ACS Type 1's, I got them on but I will wait to put them up when he takes some pictures of this setup. I have made a couple more small changes since these too.

    (I recently just got a 1976 2002 also, but thats besides the point :stickoutt)

    I am constantly putting up pictures on my IG, @Zdunn31 if you wish to see more that way. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!
    Thanks for looking everyone! :)

          Very nice car. Surprised to see it from PA, knowing the roads and weather there well. Thought a Cali car.

          Good look.

                    Thank you! Yeah sadly i only get to drive it when its nice out, all summer its out everyday. Roads aren't the best but they haven't caused many problems. Lately its been terrible out. But thanks :)
