'88 Henna M3 project

That, sir, would be excellent!

Either way, I've been meaning to get into an E30 M3 and just ride.

Car is awesome!
Need to get two square bumper caps(dealer) and two front tow hook covers (BMA Auto parts)

Ps. I dig The TSW Wheels too.!

Looks like a clean start! can't wait to see it "done"

[IronJoe]

Very nice! You're fairly local to myself. I'd love to check it out. Maybe get a ride in an actual S14 car ;) I'll give you one in the S50 heap!

To be honest, I've never sat in, been closer than on the highway to an E30 M3. I know, under privlidged.

Sure thing, any time. Come drive it, and tell me what else to fix ;-)

G_d that's a beautiful car! I think I need to find an E30 coupe in Henna... Can't wait to see more pics as you go!

Things are coming along nicely. My goal of having the car ready for the Pt Townsend drive is looking attainable.

Last week I installed new PBR Metalmaster pads and Zimmermann rotors. I replaced the fuel level sender, refinished the steering wheel and installed the e36 timing chain tensioner.






Next up is to mount the wheels & tires and get the euro tow hook covers painted & installed.

Wow, I know I've commented on this thread before (just a couple of posts up, actually), but I've gotta say it again...Your car is beautiful. If I owned that, I'd never get anything done again. Not work, laundry, dinner, sex, anything. I'd just be in an endless cycle of drive gorgeous car, drool at gorgeous looking car, drive gorgeous car, etc, etc, etc...

When are you mounting the wheels & tires?

[hi its me alec]

+1 on the wheels. Your current ones aren't terrible, but they don't do very much for me when I know the e38 weaves are on deck... Will you leave the suspension stock?

I love the car... so much

Haha thanks. I admit to sometimes walking into the garage and just staring. I got real lucky finding this one.

I will definitely have to drop it a bit... I'm looking at my options right now. I want to keep things fairly streetable so either H&R Sports or Race, or the Eibach ProKit. I'm still doing my research before I pull the trigger.

FWIW, Toyo R1Rs are available in 225/45-16 now. Unlike the T1Rs, those offer great grip.

What about G/C?

[IronJoe]

Got the new wheels on. 225/45R16 BFG KDW2 on 16x8 e38 Style 5s.

Better pics this afternoon but here's what I got. Got a bit of reverse rake right now, probably need the springs to settle after changing the wheels.

Very nice looking car man, good work!
