    I just realized that I've never really posted pics of this car on here. My dad bought this car when I was 16 as a sort-of project car. It was a little rough at the time. Well over the years its gotten some love, I do detail so I've taken good care of it, did the suspension on it and timing belt/plugs/injectors... He's put some money in it, I put some money and time in it as well... but my dad just never drove it. I think he's only put about 2500 miles on it since we bought it (almost 5 years). I couldn't take it anymore so I broke down and bought it from him. Anyways here are the pics... Also pictured is the main resting place of a large part of my income: my '94 540i 6 speed.









    Here's a pic of the 540i


    I'll get more pics shortly. I'm not crazy about the wheels I don't think. But there's a local guy selling a nearly complete 5 lug conversion for $600, so I may do that and run style 19's with some drop hats in the front to bring it down just a little

    BTW, suspension is TMS J-stocks and biltseins with powerflex bushings all around.

    I think those TD1's look excellent on your car. Very cool.

      I can dig it.

      I'm liking the amber on your car.

        They're cool wheels, light as hell, but they just look cheap to me. I want something multi-piece and as wide as possible. But it's definitely going to need to be lower.

        As far as ambers go, I'm not changing anything with the lights. Ambers look great on Alpine

              Yeah they are 17x8.5/10" Rondell 58's... but I just picked up some 17" RS198's that I'm building for it. So the rondells will only be on there until then.

                I've always wanted a set of those 58's... doubt those would fit my E36 though.

                    Very clean, nice shadowline job!

                    Make sure if you go 5 lug and its an E36 suspension you do the correct mods to fix the wheel placement inside the wheel well, search the forums for what I mean. If its an E30 M3 suspension for that price go for it!

                        I like the rims on your e30. What type are they?
