*** Editors Note: To balance out the mint, OEM unmolested examples I knew I could show the other side of the spectrum. This one comes from across the pond from Europe and is an extensively modified example. Browse the mod list and quite a bit of work has been done. The pics aren’t new because the car is locked away in a garage until Spring. Here in California I’m not familiar with such a thing but maybe after the most recent cold front the rest of y’all can relate... Enjoy and congrats to abit!***

Story behind the car: My first car, bought almost 9 years ago when I was student with little knowledge about cars and that's how this all car thing started with me, with knowledge that I gained building this car, now I have built few sport BMW's and helped to other auto sport enthusiasts. e30 when I bought It, it was practically fully disassembled (I bought engine/tranny separately) and looking not so good, haha. I believe mostly no one would bought It :D learning about e30's from pictures at google, somehow got all parts together, plus all this with money who had being student, so first years It was like little missile car, but year after year, I upgraded car, engine (almost every winter I was searching for more poweeer :D), and slowly it became pretty nice car. I'ts been on its star hour when first years I drove It daily and everywhere, then priorities changed and I drove with It pretty rarely aand of course it's been not so happy times also, chassis needed some repairing, so previous 2 years it was in garage slowly taking back in shape, so now it's again fully repainted and ready to rock again! Of course many things still needs to be done, but still car gives some nice driving joy and I like It!
