    My new e30

    Wife and I flew up to Reno to buy this one and then spent 6 days and 2400 miles driving it home. Was great going down the coast of California on Highway 1, wish I had roads like that around here!!



    I know it's not much to look at (yet). I already ordered a set of Borbet T's, grilles, kidneys, valve cover, and intake. I'm trying to get a few other parts too and hope to send it off to the body man to get ironed out and re-sprayed.

    The good things are it has a 272' cam, headers, full custom 2 1/2" exhaust, Dinan chip, Eibach springs, bilstein shocks, and front strut bar. along with all receipts.

      Looks real nice. Not digging those rims to much, kinda wide and flat!

      Looks to be a good starter.

      And yes, road trips are the life. :D

        I don't have a clue, hoping someone will recognize them. I originally thought they were Mercedes, but I saw an older (early 90's) Audi sedan that had some that looked very similar. They are 16x7.5 and once I get them off I want to weigh them, if they are light enough I may use them for track wheels, if I can find any 16" track tires that is.

            I love the rims. Sell them to me, if you decide not to keep them. Seriously.

              I remember looking at that car on Ebay. Looks awesome! But I'd reccomend you sell the Dinan chip for a Jim Conforti, I haven't heard good things about Dinan chips. Get some more pictures up!

              And those wheels do look correct on a Mercedes...but aren't!

                Highway 1 is amazingly beautiful. I drove the entire thing last Summer. It took me about 6 hours to drive the 100-200 mile stretch. I think I got out of 2nd gear about two or three times LOL. Talk about some twisties! My girlfriend was trying to sleep in the passenger seat and her head kept hitting the window lol.

                  I had a JimC chip in my M3 and loved it, I'll probably put one in here eventually but it's not a big priority like the paint is to me.

                    I may end up selling them and use 15" wheels for the track. They aren't in very good shape, they are straight, but the clear coat needs re-done and I rashed one on a curb in San Francisco. It'll take me a while to get used to staying away from curbs again since my last ride had 35" MTR's on it :D

                        Thanks!! The wheels have been growing on me. I even thought of refinishing them and putting them on my sedan
