    New to me e30 vert

    This will be my 4th e30 had one back in 04 it was originally bmracer19's old 4 door with a reiger kit had another 4 door for the wife but she wasn't into it then picked up a 2 door couple with diving board bumpers which I sold to someone from I believe sac area.

    Finally found an e30 with plastic bumpers that I liked wasn't planning on spending that much but with some persuading from bmracer19 and after looking at it I had to have it.

    It's a 318i so powers not great but at least it will be good on gas. going to be more for weekend driving and sitting in the garage since I work from home.

    Details of the car going by the docs I got with it it was originally from LA traded in to weathford bmw in berkley in 2002. Purchased for $14k with 45k on clock was always serviced at the dealer.

    Looks good for it's age paint is good top is like new with the rear window super clean. has a small oil leak but haven't had time to check it out but I think it's the pan everywhere else on the engine is clean with no oil leaks.

    Going to lower it to get rid of the fender gap and get the mtech II kit painted and installed once I have time to prep it not sure on the mtech II spoiler. I like the spoiler which is why I bought it as they're hard to get but not sure if it looks right on the vert.

    Might have to get a coupe or sedan to put it on later. It's silver some pictures are from my motorola Q so the color is off.

    this is how it looked when I bought it





    How it looks now



    things I'm going to put on

          I don't think it's ruined just because you don't like it doesn't make it ruined just means it's not your taste.

          I guess you could have been more tactful about it but maybe thats just how you are. I don't know you so I can't say either way.

          Car is clean though much better then rolling with ugly bottlecaps with bald tires. As I mentioned I have a newborn and a toddler as well as a house to pay for so spending big money on the rims I would like to get is not in the cards right now.

          to each his own I guess.

            I was going to buy that kit for my vert, but didn't have the guts to pull the trigger. Build up is looking good, very nice.

                I saw that vert on CL last month i think it was sold in Vallejo or Fairfield. I saw that Mtech II kit on CL couple of weeks ago also. I think it is was missing a side skirt dont remember. Nice pick up none the less

                      Punctuation is your friend. Those wheels need spacers, offset looks whack.

                          Needs a drop and spacers on the rear. The wheels will look fine after that.
