just reviewed the M30 section of the thread...

I'm sitting here @ the office wishing I could just get home and start mine, what a motivating thread/build:D

Brandon when you put dropped the engine a 2nd time from above (with no load leveler) did you have the tranny attached?

Yes, I installed it with transmission on while designing the engine mounts(aligns the transmission) and again when I installed it for good as it sits now, I am not a fan of installing starters and transmissions inside when I can just put it in with a picker.

Well I may have just wasted a chunk of the last day or two reading your build start to finish. Awesome car! I'm curious to see where this thing goes in the future.

If you decide to go fun over track... M70b50 maybe? haha

Thanks for enjoying it! and my local buddy is doing a v12 already, I am going for some boost soon(hoping).

Honestly never been a fan of those fronts on e30's(though I love them on e28's), but it really works on yours. Looking good dude!

<3 thanks Stu, I really love your new e30 a LOT...makes me want to get another e30 for comfort.

I'm digging the new lip, Looks Great

Thanks! me too, I am very happy with it.

Matt aka Mr 325 tipped me off to a Pfeba on ebay, one day later it was mine and being packaged to become part of my build! Once it arrived I sanded nearly 7 layers of paint off it to bare ABS and painted it with truck bed liner to match the rockers. Many years trying to nail one down...I am super pumped with the final product!

I'm running the straight blade version of the SPAL fan you are using. I mounted it to the A/C condenser; that thing cools the motor great! However, it's been eating up the #18, 30 amp, fuse lately. It's less than a year old so I'm probably going to give SPAL a call soon.

4 doors-CHECK, shitty paint-CHECK, missing trim-CHECK, No Fucks Given-CHECK

I'd keep an eye on those ziptie clip things. Mine backed out and I ran over my fan.

Fabricating some brackets then welding them on this weekend.

Raised the rear .5" and took a few hours with my metal working tools to flare the fenders more. Rubs a LITTLE bit in parking lots, but nothing from bumps, very pleased!











Went back to where I burned my BFG tires last week? nice long 90+ footer

Dood, letz do out own kevlar. New tires look great. Wonderful seeing NO stretch!

I am down for that! I just want a wider body so I can go lower and never rub at full lock.

Love your car, Its my new computer backround. Reminds me of this country song: David Lee Murphy - Dust On The Bottle. Haha keep up the good work!

Thanks <3 I am glad others enjoy my passion and outlet.


Don't worry little Hobbit ;D
I give you 245/40/17 and 215/45/17 tucked nicely on the BMW e30 with stock fenders **HEAVILY flared** I am now researching wide bodies and looking into Rocket Bunny kits and seeing what would work best for my new path. I don't rub too much front or rear, I am just going wider and more meaty in the future.
