Project Lessmeister: 91 318iS Restomod w/ MTech2 and modern drivetrain

[Jordan]

There are wheels... and then there are WHEELS. Paul Ehrlich completely killed it on these wheels. I cannot recommend Ehrlich Wheel Works enough!

I went by BMW of Houston North this morning to use their eleventybillion dollar touchless mounting machine and got everything put together. Here is the initial fit on the car. The fronts *just* clear the calipers, but the tire rubs the strut tube. I'm going to need some 3mm spacers in the front.

16x8 ET24 BBS RS, with 225/45R16 Dunlop Direzza ZII's.

I set her down on her new shoes this afternoon and rolled her out into the driveway for a MUCH NEEDED bath. A couple months of dust accumulation from continued work in the garage really muted the color.

Its now been 5 and a half months from the day I unloaded the car in my driveway with Thad, to today. What a long stressful build its been. While its not over quite yet I'm not fully in awe of what I've created in this timeframe, all while working 50hr a week or more. Nights and weekends thrown at this car. My poor wife and kids lol.

As always none of this would be been possible without those that have sponsored the build with parts and services. Many thanks goes out to BMW of Houston North, Guten Parts, Imperial Collision, Castro Motorsport, Dsylva-Tech, Stitched Wheels, UUC Motorwerks, Ehrlich Wheel Works and Lonestar Imports.

The day she came into my care:


5.5months later:











After she had her fill of fresh air and overcast skys I rolled her back into the safety of the garage:

[getouth]

Of the 2 million+ E30's ever built, this is without question the GOAT!

I need to get me those tires, car looks amazing, but ... I really want those tires lol Ive been itching to pull the trigger on them, and this might pull me over the edge.

Nice work Sir, its definitely something special

My OCD is satisfied. Great job

[nugentnsb]

[Staszek]

Wow! Perfection. Anything left to do?

[vitiokas95]

That inerior is just out of this world. You can't go wrong with BBS RS, and this color combo really looks great.
