Introducing the finished e30 project and the DD

[Schwartz-e30]

Finally finished my "modified" 318is, after a huge help at the finish line from Jordan and the great guys from BimmerBuddies getting the s52 shoe-horned in and running great!
Here are the first few pics along with my DD at the Bimmerzone BBQ. Thanks to Vincent for pretty much every nut, bolt, fitting, and countless trim and body pieces that made all this hard work turn into a drivable machine.

Looks purpose built! Awesome work. Which 5-lug swap did you go with (e30 or e36) and which Apex wheel specs are you running?

[Schwartz-e30]

Thank you very much! I chose e36 front stuff with Ti/Z3 rear arms. GC Bastard kit for the coilovers, and 17X9 et 30 "concave" Arc-8s square.

Did you do some interior work to it, it has a modern look. I love it

Thanks for the kind words. As far as the interior goes, that last shot was from inside the e90. I'm pretty much in love with the interior of that car minus the performance CF trim and ssk I have going in.
As for the e30 I found some very nice black door cards, custom fit 6.5inch Focal component speakers in the doors/tweeter pods and had the rear deck, vanity mirrors and the "sunroof/slick top front part of the headliner all done in a 4 way stretch leather. I also have a euro black original headliner and brand new A and B pillars.

The E90 has a wonderful interior, agreed ^ My car is also terra! People always give me compliments. Its the best color ever!

E30 looks amazing with the ARCs. <3
