New member with a new e30

[Smash9002]

Hey guys, I'm a newcomer to R3VLimited and the e30 world. Im really excited about my new 325i, and I'm here for some suggestions and tips. Immediate plans are rims and tires, and an auto to manual swap. Oh and a Volvo lip spoiler :). Just wanna get some input from people who know what looks good on these cars!

Yea, I've been around a month or two. Joined when I bought my 88 iX which I sold then bought this.

looks nice. i like the color. did you take the iX skirts off your 88 and put them on this or they were on the car when you got it?

Looks good Doug. I see you've been doing some Canyon cruising lately...

Nice ride. Welcome to r3v where there is no shortage of suggestions or opinions.

Mod list.

Euro plate filler
IS lip
H&R sport springs
euro bumper trim
Euro grill
Loose the IX skirts unless you have an IX

Oh and you should buy my wheels. J/K.
Mesh wheels always look good on our cars (BBS, Ronal LS) and their timeless. Or something with a lip like Borbet's will do the trick.
Just get the nicest wheel in your budget. Don't get a transitionals set.

the iX skirts came on my new car. As soon as I saw the pic in the ad I saw the skirts and the bike rack (I'm a mountain biker) and thought, wow that car is made for me! Not to mention cirrusblau is just awesome!

Yea, took it on it's maiden voyage canyon run today. Had to take it easy with bald rears and an original spare tire on the right front..

wtf is with all the volvo lip spoilers?? I personally think it looks completely halfass and cheap...

P.S. nice e30! put a real IS lip ;)

The big deal is the fact that they are basically a direct fit and they are like 140 dollars cheaper. They don't look half bad.

Nice car man. I'm with einstein57, loose those skirts unless its an iX.

I'd take the skirts off, but I dont want to be left with holes from the mounting brackets.
I'll probably go with the H&R sports, although a friend is trying to sell me on the IE stage 3's. Im worried the IE's will ride too rough for the rough back roads I like to drive on. As for the IS lip, not in my budget right now, but an $18 Volvo lip, now that I can swing ;)
