    The E30 from Norway. (Euro S50B32)

    Back i 2011 i bought my self a 1990 mod BMW e30 320i. The car came with a lot of parts like complete original m tech 2 bumpers, sideskirts,wing , new front fenders, exhaust and so on.



    The previous owner had changed the rear inner and outer fenders. And i was told that the car was almost ready for paint. After some time i found out the there still was a lot of rust and the car was far from ready to get painted.


    Some of the plans:
    - New paint
    - M Tech 2 bodykit
    - S50B32 w/ M50 oil sump and pump
    - 5speed ZF320 gearbox
    - Mishimoto radiator
    - E34M5 brake booster
    - Custom exhaust.
    - Adaptors for using E46 325i brakes and bearings
    - E30 M3 rear suspension with brake discs
    - 188 LSD 25% (Upgraded to 40% -> )
    - All new bushings
    - 60/40 supersport (coilovers in the future)
    - Relocat the Battery in the trunk
    - Some enginebay shaving.


    The pictures in this first post is what i did on the car before i went to college

    The day i baught it.
