I live about 12 miles from Schaarbeek/Molenbeek, it's been a strange week here and ZERO threat whatsoever! Funny to read US media coverage of the whole thing

Yeah, I used to live off avenue rogier on the kesselstraat :)

very cool! You can't compare it to any other mayor city worldwide so unique. We went back to threat level 3 thank god and everything is back to normal

My next e30 will have one of those 'alternative' interior fabrics... My favorite is the plaid

[MadMatrix]

Very cool touring! Actually I'm very fond of the volvo lip suits the car very well!

Are you happy with the quality of the TA technic coils? I've been thinking of getting some for my daily e36, how to they handle and feel?

Thanks ;)
About TA Technix coils. I buy used set and i'm using E30 for daily driven at the city. In Poland we have roads of very bad quailty (multiply holes and higher tram rails at roads crossing) so suspension have a lot of work, but if you don't need comfortable suspension TaT is a very good choice. It's hard (but i know, other suspensions can be harder).
For a city traveling with low profile tyres it's a sensible proposal. I dont know much about MTS suspension for BMW. My good friend have set of MTS at his Passat B5, and it's softer than mine TaT.

Volvo lip stays and i don't want change them in the near future ;)

From news...
At last thursday i changed fuel pump from opel omega a 2,5, to original bmw ;) It's not big change and practicaly only for make better of my mind :D
And after last diagnostics i must change intake camshaft position sensor (Error 65) :) I'm wainting to monday and replace this sensor to new original.

nice - a bit more tire on those wheels would really do it for me!
interior seats are amazing!

[MadMatrix]

In a future i want a little wider tyres - 205/40/17 ;)
A few shots from last spot in this year. It's a main street in my city, where normally you can't go with car, because it's a promenade :D



For a rear i added some distance 15mm and i think it's a perfectly fitting in rear :)
PS. Front suspension has setup for a winter, because it's a little higher than last pics ;P

Hi again! :)
New Year, new changes! ;)
Ok, let's begin.
Before New Year with my friends, we made short vid:
NIGHT CRUISE | HOLLYCREW

At start of 2016 i bought MTechnik 2 Side Skirts:

New springs for rear:


A few weeks ago i change valve cover gasket and temperature sensor and electric fan before cooler. With my friend, we're added addational pump for a faster heating (this pump i originaly mounted in this engines at E39 and E46 ;))
Yesterday i bought a new gear shift knob.
In the coming days i want buy new rugs

Aaaaaaand... We waiting for a better weather to change wheels :D

[CorvallisBMW]

Great car! The practicality of a touring and an m54, I love it.

[MadMatrix]

Hello after little break ;)
During this time i make some changes at my E30 ;)
I repainted the floor under car and removed all signs of rust :)
With my friend, we made custom coilovers for front. Coilovers and springs from Honda Civic, Ta Technix shocks from Astra F and modified shock mounting from E30 (shorted 4 cm).


So, all presents nowa that:
(Ahhhh, i made too some polishing of paintjob ;))

[Reichart12]

Car looks great in the new set of pictures!

[MadMatrix]

Thanks Reichart12!

A new set of camber plates! Old doesn't have bearing to shock's pin, so any moves of wheel is harder than with normal bearing normal ;)



Greetings!

[Bggdnssnguy]

That car is beautiful. I love the tourings.

[Dj Buttchug]
