I know the owner before the PO, I assume. I used to see it around in my high school days. Sorry in advance for having to go to such a butt crack place like Thousand Palms, CA.

So that car was getting parted out but you managed to save the whole thing?
Very cool! Good to see a nice car saved.~Rick | 1990 325iC ~Noelle - Her build/cleanup thread http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=179507

wonder what happened to that car's interior"I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

The car is pretty well sorted mechanically and up to date on maintenance, mostly thanks to e30 motor werks.
The suspension has been re-worked. I added Dinan vert springs and Koni SA shocks/struts. I also added a 16mm Dinan rear swaybar. I kept the 21mm front swaybar, but switched to an M3 strut-mounted set-up. Ground Control RSMs were also installed. The car already came with IE subrame bushings and strut brace, as well as aluminum control arms with m3 offset bushing.
I haven't driven it much, but it feels great; exactly what you'd expect from Dinan, performance with an emphasis on comfort. Luckily all the parts were used, so I didn't pay the Dinan premium. I'm also really happy with the ride height (it's got plenty of low for me ).

A local guy sold me the canvas top and frame combo. He had the work done, but never installed it. I also put the BBS RGs from my sedan on the vert. They are 15 x 7, like euroweaves, but forged with more lip. They are painted nogaro silver with polished lips. I like the contrast with the sterling silver.
I also installed a 95 m3 rack and a 4.27 torsen LSD from a Z3.
Still waiting to be installed are euro smileys and plate filler, newish fogs, 12mm spacers for the rear, and a conforti chip. After that, I'll concentrate on the interior. I'm still hoping to find a coupe/sedan sterling silver trunklid. Stay tuned.Last edited by robrez; 09-12-2017, 02:41 PM.sigpic
