how rare is Euro S50ed, 5 lug, big brakes e30 M3 Touring in US? Vlad is building it !

[vlad]

Hey Vlad, I'm going on vacation in three days, can you hurry this along so I can see the finished product before I leave? Thanks, I owe you one ;)

I am aming for it to be done by the 27th of August :up:

battery tray fixed, new pieces of metal welded in

Hey Vlad, i think you should stick with a stock E30 M3 color. It'll look like BMW Built it back in 88'.

fixing the rust in the battery tray

that looks like mine.... What causes this? Any idea?

Henna.

Exactly what I was thinking....

Battery acid is my best guess. After I had my car redone I left an old sears charger on my battery for a week trip. Came home to a garage that smelled like sulfur, unplugged it and later that year found my battery tray rusting out and had to repair it.

As far as rust in this area, check the lower trim on the side window - if it doen't seal properly, water gets in and runs down inside the quarter panel and sits in this lower area.

Interesting - the battery on my touring is under the hood, not in the rear fender.

As far as colour, I'd leave it silver since that's how it was born. Royal blue 198 would be another choice, but I'm biased.

thanks! "check the lower trim on the side window "

My battery is on the front as well.

BTW: info on your suspension and front lip please?

[lgb240]

thanks!



BTW: info on your suspension and front lip please?

Front lip is stock. Suspension is IE3 springs and Koni yellows.

I will say it, Dakar Yellow.
