    New E30

    I got it at the end of October. It's my second E30, a 1990 325i five speed coupe calypso-but the paint is not good. (will be resprayed evetually) Had 120k when I got it. Flew to a little town near Pittsburgh and drove it home, 124k on it now. Came with bottle caps, now has 15x7 Borbet Type C's with new 205/55 AVS ES100's. Now that it's summer I'll be doing some things to it. In the shop now getting a new exhaust: Stahl header, racing cat I think, and a Stromburg muffler (got it from someone on here). It needs some regular maintenence (will be done by the end of the month) but will be good when that's done. Later this summer it will get new suspension: Bilstein sports for sure but unsure as of yet on springs. I have some pics of the exterior, but don't know how to load them on here.

        I tried it and it either didn't work or I did something wrong...another update: the car now has full exhaust, Stahl Ceramic coated stainless header, track pipe cross over (no cats) and stainless Stromburg muffler with chrome tips. I also have a video of how it sounds.

            now it has new wheels. edit: the front valence was missing when I got it. BMW part #51 71 1 968 488 is in the mail which will make the front look like the car bavauto.com has as a demo for the lip spoiler. If I'm not mistaken that is the M Tech I front
