So clean man! i would love to own a e30 m3 one day... Congrats for such a clean car!
Good luck and keep posting progress

[IronJoe]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. It's a work in progress with lots of little issues to fix.

Here are some pics I took this afternoon with the new wheels. Suspension will be going on this weekend.

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...

This. Would. Be. Me.

Nice M OP! The motor looks spotless! It really cleaned up nice.

Very nice looking car man, good work!

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.

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.

What about G/C?

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

When are you mounting the wheels & tires?

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

+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

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.

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!
