    Its about time....

    I finally decided to postsome pics of my car.



    The car is a 1988 325. It now has a '90 325i engine, "i" cat-back exhaust, new low mileage tranny, and a 3.73 LSD. I am loving the LSD so much!!
    Suspension/Brakes: Eibach springs on Billstein Sports, Suspension Technique sways, Turner swaybar reinforcements, GC RSM, Zimmerman cross-drilled front and rear, SS lines, forodo pads front and rear
    Also, new interior including seats out of a 325is and i picked up some clean basketweaves.

      Your Cardinal red interior looks to be in great shape, which is really rare. That said, Cardinal red on a Tan carpet looks horrible 8)

        I agree there. I am keeping the seats and panals but not the tan carpet :( . It doesn't fit at all.

          looks to be a really clean e30, not a fan of the cardnal interior but it is very clean. For some reason it doesn't look like the eibach's gave you much of a drop.

              I took these pictures right after getting rid of my old bottlecraps and putting on the new baskets. The car has now settled down and the back tires are slightly tucked.

                Cardinal owns! That's one of the few I've ever seen in good condition.

                    You should buy my plastic bumpers and paint it once I get my M-Tech II. It has euro trim too :up:

                    Honestly your paint looks brand new.

                      Pick up a pair of body-colored mirrors. They'll improve the look of your car tremendously, not that it doesn't already looks sweet though.

                        Plastic bumpers would make a world of a difference and best of yet i think its a straight bolt on for the 88.

                        I would put some serious thought into buying M42's bumpers and best of yet it comes already with the euro trim. :P

                          Thanks for all the coments. For the carpet, I think that black would look best. I definately want a set of body colored mirrors because mine are faded a little bit. I searched for a set of plastic bumpers for some time and I couldn't find any. They are a direct bolt on for the 1988 model. It's the oddball year. I am getting ready to sell the car and find a new E30 to toy with. The new owner already told me he wants to swap out the bumpers immediately. I will definately tell him that I found some with euro trim. Do you have both front and rear? What color? Thanks
