2 Calypso verts in Chicagoland

How many e30s do you own? I lost track....
I like the engine bay picks!!!!

lol. I've owned 7 of them, 2 of them verts, 4 of those IX coupes, 1 a 318is. I'm down to 3 E30s now and one of those will be a parts car.

Actually chicagolande30 stopped by today with his 92 S52 convertible. It's exactly 2 years newer than mine, same color, same options from the factory. His is a late model lowered and ground controlled, 24v swapped and freshly painted, mine a DB car Euro'd and soon to be MT1d, Alpina'd and stroked. Both of us have windscreens, hardtops and huscos. So lots of fun doing comparisons... Even cooler is he lives close by. We met through R3V.

Check out his 3 piece Schmidts










a sea of headrests..


Love hoods up pics


and.. another engine bays shot

You did not receive my last text on Alpina Z1 with Alpina 17x8 4x100 tire size 235-40-17?

I was surprised Alpina used different size tires. Did you like the pics of Alpina 17x8 4x100?

which pics?

Alpina 17x8 is perfect for an E30 M3 rear. I think 8 is too wide for E30s on the front, even M3s.

Here's my bud Gary's henna m3 with original 16" staggered Alpinas (they're for sale btw, but 5x120 of course)


Same car running 17" 2 piece RC090. He had to space the front out to clear the calipers.

On my Alpina magazine they listed that tire size.^^^ They also listed a other opsition tire size.

Interesting... Do you know the optional staggered tire sizes? I assume it's 195 or something. Maybe post of a pic of the page..

from this e30.de alpina german government doc

Nice rims!! hehe

I'm running the Direzzas, no complaints!

This is a seriously nice car you've got here man, wow.

Ha good to know! Right back at ya bro. Can't wait to see your ride. Have already chatted with Raúl about going further Alpina wise... just seems like a seriously slippery slope lolol. First the gauge pod.. then the cluster.. then.. then.. then.. plus my interior's done but Brandon's got the repro Alpina cloth... that on e30 recaros... nonononononononoonono

Like to see your MtechI rear apron on your vert?

It's so tempting to pull the rear off and do a quick trial fit! resisting that so I get the ITBs done.. there is alot of prep work to do on the parts as well. On the plus side, my MT1 hardware order has been placed with BMW. Let's see what happens..

there's a set of those wheels for sale in canada http://www.kijiji.ca/v-tires-rims/ed...els/1072772073

only 2500 usd! haha

Nice catch! 2200 views on that listing.. looks like a 16x7 square set. Best place to start if you can't get staggered, and you have much better tire options that way including rotation... Shipping could get pricey. I posted to the wheels and tires forum.

this is the Alpina fitment as I understand it
