Yep. And I believe that the destroked motor was designed to put the car in a lower insurance bracket. Apparently cars with more than 2 liters were that much more to insure.

I think I read that in a European BMW specific magazine a while back.

i think it had nothing to do with touring car circuits there, and had a lot to do with luxury tax on vehicles over 2.0 liters.

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...

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:

[buhnah7]

hmm so probably delphin or something it sounds like those swaps are popular in that area, are there many e30's there?

[orangebmw]

no..stock color is dark grey...this is 3rd paint...done by previous owner...i just bought and drive

[buhnah7]

is that a "stock" color cause i've seen weird colors on european cars

[Jand3rson]

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

[Jordan]

Holy shit. The misinformation about the E30 320iS in this thread is making me ROFLeZ.
