318i 4dr E30 new paint with bodykit....comments? pos & n

The majority are going to say "hate the bumper but love the car." Its just how we are. Most of those Reiger kits are overdone and poorly executed. This one seems to be one of the best as the black hides all the lines of the bumper and in the pics it appears to fit on the car tightly.

The reason I dont like the bumpers are that they are (even if well fitted) out of place on E30s. E30s have a LOT of straight lines and right angles so putting a Bangle styled bodykit on a car like that makes it obvious its a bodykit, and that is a bad thing.

However, having the car covered in Asian sluts adds like 6 points to the styling because Asian women always add 2 points and a group gets you a bonus.

Its true about the kit...they had to do alot of shaving and adjustment to fit it on correctly..They just remounted and painted the rear again but it looks and feels alot better. The sides started cracking cuz it was so tight so this time the had to paint it on the car so it wouldn't crack....Well this car is more of a show car than performance there is only so much you can do to a m42 engine....Thanks for the feedback.....

Is the trunk made of mdf or fiberglass covered in vinal? It looks pretty good. If I do another sub box, it will be covered in vinal. drop is nice as are wheels. It looks really good in a couple of those shots. The rear quarter shots makes me think it even looks better than a coupe. What side skirts are those? the reiger e46 replicas?

That is hella nice, i knew 4 dr were nice, but damn, thats is sweet. :shock:

My trunk is made of MDF wood covered by vinyl......My kit I actually got it from gaugeco...Alot of shaving and triming to put the kit on......I wouldnt recommend the kit if i knew it was going to be that difficult.... The body shop that put it on did a pretty good job though.....

Looks fucking sic man :up: Props to your bodyshop for taking what normally looks like shit and making it look good.

Yes the Montreal road are the worst. I bent 3 wheels already...not that bad was just off abit. I got them fixed...75$ a wheel to fix. I drive abit slower especially if I dont know the roads. But In TO well in Ontario I really dont have to worry. I could actually speed along the exits.... great way to test my suspension.... Thanks for the feedback guys.... Does anyone know where i can get a decent price for the hella smoked elipsoid head lights?

Hey I saw your car at DKN, I was trying to find the owner. You should come back to TO for Bimmercruize, in October. Over 200 cars, at least 30 E30's you can bet on.

[montrealM42]

I would love to go....was thinking of it...So what usually happens at bimmercruize.. what should i bring? what to expect? Any women? date? place ? meet? Pls fill me in.... would deeply appriciate it..... Were you in the dkn6 show? I was wondering how many e30 car were there at dkn6 someone told me 5....

Bimmercruize was started and is still organized by Randy Sparre. This year it's a huge show on some island that's ours for the day in the west end (Randy apparently needs some $2 million liability insurance for it) where we all meet at around noon. The day is spent just checking out everyone's Bimmer, there's always a bunch of surprises like original Z1's and 3.0CSL's pulling up, etc. After the awards ceremony, we all go on a nice cruise out to the backroads. Nothing is set in stone yet besides the venue, but every year it's typically very similar. Keep an eye out at maXbimmer.com, and I'll probably post something here when the website is open.

I was actually very close to being in DKN, just to hang out with a few friends who were there. I can only think of the red 318is with the AV3 kit (Al aka windsor318is) and your car, can't recall any other E30's.

looks good, damn 4doors are taking the scene

[montrealM42]

Thanks Spaz.......Hey Mystikal what awards ceremony you talking about? Awards for what exactly? Has anyone gone to the bavarian show and shine? If so how was it in the past?

[Mystikal]

There are awards for each series car, in both modified and concours categories. I was with Randy tonight, Sunday Oct 17th is a semi-firm date right now.
