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

Really nice man. The 16s look a bit small but I'd bet they are perfect in person and surely more functional as a daily. Somehow pictures can distort these dimensions.

I have to address the elephant in the room only because the suspense is killing me. Did the widebody ever get painted by the new owner and more importantly can you share a picture of the finished product or at least update the thread over on e30tech if you dont want it to distract from this build.

I ask because a lot of work went into that car and it would be nice to find out how it turned out and yes, "end" that chapter!

Wow! Perfection. Anything left to do?

A lot of little stuff, and the exhaust system. It should all get checked off the running list pretty quickly over the next 2 weeks or so.

I'd say the 16's are just right for the car, particularly in keeping with the period correctness.

The wide body is largely untouched. Production work comes before his own projects. Its been on a lift in the shop just sitting since I sold it. As far as I know he hasn't even driven it since I delivered it as the battery died and it just got pushed around as needed.

16's are perfect for E30's

The car looks superb, Jordan. Inspirational!

Must win lottery NOW !!!

So much WANT !!!

Absolute turn-key perfection !!!

Now just slap a twin screw on there like you did for the 5 and you've got an absolute beast of a car, pretty much as much show and as much go as anyone would ever want in a concours level package.

[Jordan]

It would be quite easy for me to add a twinscrew package like the 5 has. Certainly an option in the future.

Ive been following since you started the thread. Thoroughly enjoyed the process and looked forward to updates on a daily basis. Phenomenal, incredible, amazing work Jordan. One day, I hope to build my e30 to this level.
Great great great job man. Thanks so much for sharing. And thanks for the inspiration. I will be referencing this thread for multiple things in the future.

I love every bit of this build man. Best part is you didn't pay a bloody fortune for red seat belts haha you made them. The rest of it was really expensive I'm sure.

What's your long term plan with the car? Do see yourself holding or offering it for sale?

The more I stare at this thing, on the ground, freshly washed... man.... It might be easier to get rid of the wife than the car.
