    My 1991 Diamantschwarz 318is

    I have owned it since 9/07/07.

    It was in poor condition when i got it. Failed guibo took out the driveshaft and tranny. I've put alot of parts into my car so far since i got it.

    I started out with a Reman driveshaft with reserviceable zerk fittings from Driveline Service of Portland
    New Sachs clutch kit
    Used transmission with 45k
    Replaced CV axles
    Replaced ICV, All vacuum and coolant hoses.
    Replaced intake gaskets, fuel injectors, flush fuel rail
    Replaced Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump new for Rasmussen BMW of Portland
    Fitted my 14inch bbs with some 195/60/14 Toyo Eclipse
    I Sprayed them Diamantschwarz and also did the center caps. Got gorilla wheel locks.
    I painted the valve cover black. Still have not got around to doing the intake manifold yet.
    Got a new leather wrapped shift knob from Rasmussen BMW
    All new brembo stock rotors and some hawk semi metallic pads
    Ebay Carbon Fiber Emblems (Not stickers)
    Smoked Turn Blinkers.
    Bavauto.com Angel Eye Kit with H1 Bulbs

    My plan.

    My car rocks blown shocks. I will replace them next (Bilstein Sport)
    Gonna upgrade my sway bars to IE's 24//22
    Upgrade to H4s
    Euro Bumper Filler (side marker delete)
    Euro Grill

    My car has been treated very nice most of its life i am the 2nd owner. The first owner bought it new and ended up giving it to her son and law. He drove it into the ground wore the brakes all the way down and let the guibo failed. I picked her up cheap and now its a great DD.

      It would be awesome if it didn't have ghetto lights all over it.

              Opinions are like ass holes but here goes...
              The headlights no.
              tail lights are not so bad.
              black weaves no,but I'm not a fan of any all black wheels.
              Nice car though and you have modified it to your liking so have fun with it.

                  Ya honestly the lights came on the car. They look sick at night. I think I'm going to black them out so the halos don't stand out when they arnt on. I am going for black out look. Plan on doing euro bumper filler for light delete next. I don't know why everyone hates halos on e30. I also plan on doing 5 lug swap so I can get nicer wheels. Blacked them out until they are something special

                      good start man, interior looks clean. As far as smoking the headlights, i would go for some charcoal laminex adhesive sheeting cut for the lights. Not sure how much you know about the stuff, worth a search though. Best of luck with the car.
