Hi

This is my e30

I live in Iceland and just imported that e30 from Poland

316i coupe with sundroof, Automatic gearbox, only driven 130.000km, no rust or any problems!


Im going to change the suspension and wheels, make it manual etc!

Here are few pics of it in Poland














But now its finally in Iceland!

I started taking the instrument cluster apart to put a tachometer in it




Ready!




Much better than that big stupid clock!




Changed both control arms and bushings in front.






Bought brand new Borbet - A 16x9" with new tires!








But i dont want to put the wheels under without lowering,, so i bought 60/40 lowering springs




Im going to install those springs and wheels at the weekend!

will post new pics after the install! :D

It looks extremely clean, nice purchase! I really like the first photo as well.

Off to a great start!

[ApexScalpel]

That looks really clean, congrats! I visited Iceland 2 years ago and drove a rental car up and own the west coast, I'm very jealous of the roads you'll get to carve up with your 316i!

I had no idea some E30's came with a clock instead of a tach. As quirky and charming as it is, with a manual swap the tach will be much more useful. My daily driver is a Prius C with a CVT transmission and it doesn't have tach either, but I really don't need it.

You could probably sell that "Flava Flav" Tach to someone via ebay. A few years ago I saw a few threads where people were swapping them in for the novelty.

Took some photos of it before the new springs and wheels, and now its on Icelandic license plates!


















And now its time to change springs and wheels






Stock springs




Little diffrence










Brake fluid change






Time for Borbet - A






Wheel alignment






Very happy with it!!!








But ofcourse im going to buy some "real" suspension later,, and do a full disk brake conversion etc..

[lukeADE335i]

Looks great - the Borbets have always suited the e30 well :)

[ZEKTI]

Looks beautiful! I didn't see too many older BMW's while in Iceland so your's must be extremely rare. Looks like it'd be a fun summer road trip car.

What a nice, clean looking e30! My favorite color, as well ;>)

[Mazi!]

Got a brand new OEM ISlip






Painted!




I like eyelids on e30 so i bought a pair




Bought clear/smoked turn signal lenses from FMWTuning.de




The old orange ones are cracked and ugly




The front end after eyelids, islip and smoked turn signals :D

I Bought new original SE sideskirts

They went straight to the paint shop and then on the car!




Feels bad to drill holes :( but it has to be done












Got new license plate lights






Much better!

[Mazi!]

Took few photos of it before winter storage

















Next up is painting the rear valance white and make the exhaust hole bigger like on 6cyl cars.

[Mazi!]

Small update


I took the car to a paintshop to to make the exhaust hole for (-OO------) exhaust, and get the surface smoother and full white (its black and white now)




i sold the front valance because i wanted the valance for AC cars




Old one




New one :)




Bought that peace new






I did not like that radio panel




So i bought that one used but in good condition




Bought that clock on eBay






I also bought the original BMW electrial loom for clock off ebay




New bulb for that clock




The clock frame was scratched :/




So i bought it new :D






It will look better!




Bought a Alpine bluetooth radio with RGB backlight.




And new backlight bulbs for everything




Im now waiting for the car coming form paintshop and some more parts :)
