my e30: s50 w/6262 and a/c

time to lower it cutting springs, yes, it's ghetto, but I will buy 325 h&r after the swap is complete, also bilsteins shocks, don't know if HD or Sport because we have a lot of bad roads over here, and I don't care about blowing the stock shocks right now, the car just needed to be lowered, the wheel gap was almost the size of my head..



got the correct carbon fiber license plate cover delivered..



visiting a friend with a 4dr 325 and R16 bbs rs wheels..



license plate cover installed



which my father's e28, has been in the family for almost 22 years..



Nokya yellow high beams..



time for some detailling



you can still see the difference although it's a cell pic..

this is before waxing the car...











waxing it





almost done!



deleted the US side markers..



and ready for a meet



put some led lights for the rear license plate







it rained but the next day I still could see the gloss :D



remember my partner with a e30 m3 (m106 swap in the works) and e30 2.7 turbo, he also has an imola red 36 m3 and a 323 e21 which He sold last friday, so we went for a ride



another friend, which had two e30 tourings, sold them and got an e34 and e38 M5's









and anooooother friend (must have a lot of friends here, is a small country after all) bought another 318is..

scored a e34 oil pan for about $60 and another friend which has a m50b25 e30 gave me a free intake manifold..



getting there...



had my parking light delivered



bought new fog lights and a 3000k 55w hid kit



smoked headlights delivered too





installed them with orange LED city lights..



love how it turned out!

e30 s50b30 (from supercharger to turbo)

The same weekend I got an hid kit, wanted 4300k but got 8000k instead..





I already had ordered some carbon fiber emblems which I got on the first week of onwing my e30







Since the car still had the IS lip, I made a custom splitter for it



a friend was selling his e30 with euro grilles, so we swapped them before selling it



orderded a carbon fiber license plate cover, but got one for a pre model, so I sold it to my partner which has a e30 m3 and a late model e30 with a 2.7 turbo



Most of my cars have a black/smoked theme, I love how a car looks that way, so it was time to give it a better look

so this year I started searching for a e30 on March, I wanted one that was in good condition, working a/c, p/s, etc.. back in 2005, my friend had a 318is which He sold it to a customer, it was for sale, but I didn't want a 4 banger, long story short, I got that 318is on 28 of July, it was the perfect candidate for what I wanted to do (m52/s50 swap) to make it a perfect daily driver, since I became father in 16 of July, I would prefer to drive a swapped e30 than a stock e46 :D

I already got some black kidney grilles before I had an e30, so here is the first picture of my bmw



This is how I got it.
