From STANCE to FUNCTION Supercharged E30

[e30abe89]

Hey guys, It's been a while since I have posted on here. I wanted to show you the new build I have been working on. I didn't feel like starting another build thread so here's a quick run down. Decided to go more functional with this build, so I can enjoy the car. I never drove my last e30 since it was built to be a show car. It always stayed in the garage. My new sedan is far from finished but I'm happy with the way she's looking so far.


Here's my old e30 Eve which I'm sure you guys know. She was sold to one of my buddies.

And my new e30 I purchased from my brother September of last year. It was a track car before my ownership so needless to say it needed a bunch of TLC to be up to my standards. I swapped over a lot of parts from my coupe, so that helped a bit. I wanted to keep the track theme but a much cleaner version because I'm super OCD lol Anyways here it is

1991 325i sedan
New Jet black paint, custom fender work
Fully built s50 Supercharged on methanol 465whp,420tq
RMS/Vortech supercharger setup
AEM methanol injection
E30 M3 5 lug swap and brakes (BBK coming soon)
Apex Arc8 satin black 17x9&9.5 on Nitto nt01
E30 M3 GC Coilovers/Camber plates
Recaros Lx-C (seats from old e30)
MKAH door panel deletes with yellow door pulls
Bunch of custom goodies that have not yet been installed


A couple before and after pics

Thanks bud! It's been a while, hope things are well with you.
This e30 was definitely not to my standards lol So I've been cleaning it up these past couple of months.

Thank you! Just posted the best pic I have, currently working on the interior. Installing some Mkah door panel deletes and getting some custom items made. ;-)

Damn that would have some go to it. Looks like a very neat supercharger install.

This things awesome, I could only imagine what that supercharger does for the S50.

Thank you, it definitely wakes it up. The power band is pretty impressive. It's a fun little car. ;D

Love the build!

Can you explain what the custom fender work was?

If I didnt want an e30m3 5 lug swap already, this just reaffirms that the next opportunity I get to get one, Im pulling that trigger!

Sure thing, the fenders were completely pulled and widened a bit to fit a nice sized compound tire. ;D I'm also running e36 M3 control arms with offset bushings and camber plates are maxed up front.
