New to BMW's!

...i dont seem to have the extra set of lights in the bumpers like so many others do.I just have the turn signals..anyone know if that was a option for the extra lights?

Your car has the "Euro" bumper trims, which don't have those sidemarker lights. The stock bumper trim does.

Yours are considered an "upgrade" :).

Nice car! Your car already has a much of misc add-ons that we here at R3V consdier desirable. :D

Well it is a 91, which should have come with an airbag wheel. I was commenting that the Mtech 2 is a pretty eye-catching upgrade, or at least that is the first thing I noticed. I know it doesnt have an airbag.

Ah...

Your post sounded weird, thats why I was confuzzed

Ya i thought there was a few little additions that were too subtle for a noob to notice(points to me!) Thanks for all the comments guys!

I am pleasantly surprised. Usually "BMW noob" threads are a flaming wreckage of harsh (but in my opinion, just) comments, and horrid rice. But this car is not ricey at all, and is a beautiful sight to see; this would eliminate the harsh comments and make the thread that much nicer to read. Props to you for finding an Alpine e30 in such great condition. If you dont mind my asking, how much did you pay for it?

get some matching floormats and drop that thing and you'll be pretty much set for a dd. if you ever get tired of your wheel i have a practically new momo millenium sport. Put it on my gti and then parked it.

Thank You...Since i got it I replaced the 02 Sensor,1 coolant Hose,Coolant Temp Sensor,Oil Pressure Switch,I just bought all the boots for the axles to rebuild(i have 1 ripped open)....Car has been great so far and is great fun to drive.The car is very very tight...even

never even came close and there are some pretty crappy streets in Los Angeles. Although I have mildly scuffed my cat on some rediculous speedbumps in a gated community.
