    my car history...

    1st bought it was fitted with 17" local made wheels(malaysia)...so heavy...
    i change it to 15" italian wheels...don't know its brand...
    then now...with 14" 318is wheels...so smooth..comfort...no more shaked...

    side skirt was took from E36 325i...
    solid orange paint...
    last month i just got original rubber spoiler...

    next plan...Mtech 1 bodykit...

    in Malaysia...most e30 owners like to swap it to SR20det..some are RB20det,RB25det,1jz and 2jz...

    in Thailand..the siamese like to swap it to 2jz...that's why my car was swapped to RB20...

      It's always interesting to see what different parts of the world do with their rides. I like it!

            I liked it until I got to the sideskirts. Seriously, and people bitch about the Taurus side skirts? Those twisted skirts are hideous.

                    yes...so plenty e30's here...most of them have been swaps to japs engine...some of them swap to m20b25 from smaller engine m40 and m20b20...a little of them swap to m50...but the most of them swap to sr20det...i heard 1 e30 swaps to RB26DETT with single turbo and always used to race at sepang f1 circuit...

                          bro.. i'm from m'sia too. I think u just got it wrong.There's only a few bunch of e30 owners here are into jdm engine. Usually most of them ditch m42 or m50 in their hood and i have 2 friends who have s50.. :D u just need to hang out with these udm enthusiast a lil more..

                          Anyway welcome to the site :up:
