Traveling back in time...one 3 series at a time.

[David A]

Started out with a facelifted E46, got a prefacelifted one, then an E36 M3...and now finally an E30. I think I found my resting place. :)

I'll put up some real pictures after I get some tonight or tomorrow...for now here's this. :D

Qimis' car? Nice!

Damn, I can't believe he sold it!

[Erik]

Damn, I can't believe he sold it!

I'm so stoked... Going down to see it sometime in the next week.

Photoshoot time!

[DEV0 E30]

I saw that Qimis thought about selling. Insane.

Welcome to where the air is crisp David.

Pretty cool how you have technically done the reverse of what most anyone does in the world. "Downsizing, downgrading." But in reality that car may not be perfect, but it's so far above a used E46 in terms of hours and love into it.

Photoshoot time!

You better keep your word, or the alpine gods will have no mercy on your soul.

Nice nice. Upgrading reverse style :D

[george graves]

pics!

[Erick]

That's what you're going to be sliding on? Wow.... I give you props.

It's a clean car from all the pictures I've seen, that's for sure.

[M42Technik]

You're going to be drifting his car?

Jeebus I haven't seen this one in ages, more pictures please!

[Van Westervelt]

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. I post quite a bit on BF.c so we might know each other over there and I really like the community feel this forum has...:)

Yeah, it's an S50 + 5 speed now.

Yeah, we'll definitely be doing a photoshoot.

As for the E46...it has its place in the market...I love them and I really do love the design of them but I'll probably wait till the prices on the M3s drop more and maybe pick one up as a DD?

And yes, this car is awesome...I can't wait to put my personal touch on it.

It has its problem areas. But yeah, I'm gonna be getting ahold of ya in the next few months for suspension questions...haha...I'll try my best not to be annoying.

Plans:
5 lug swap with bigger brakes
OEM M-Tech II front/rear bumper (right now it's fiberglass)
Better suspension setup (sways, adj shocks,plates)
Replace all the bushings
All paint and body work - the car (like all others) looks 10x better in pictures than it does in person as far as the outside goes. The rear fenders are cut and done with fiberglass and original paint so I'm going to redo the entire rear fender section and make them all metal and pull the front fenders...and then fix up all the little problem areas (small rust spots and dings).

When are you getting the new MTech2 stuff? What will you be doing with the current stuff? (Particularly the rear valence) :D
