Dropped it 1 1/4.
Manual swap.
Timing belt and water pump.
License plate filler.
Front IS lip.
Euro smiley head lights.
Rear headrests













Debating about IS spoiler. Yes? No? Black? Color match?



Temporary shift knob. Authentic one soon.

Wow. That is immaculate. Great find. Definitely go 215 if you haven't already. I have 205-40-17 and find the ride a bit harsh.

holy goat that is a clean car!!

It's super easy and will completely transform the car. Definitely do it. Get the trans, flywheel, pedals, driveshaft and cross member used (or junkyard like I did) and buy the rest new. RealOEM.com is your friend for diagrams and part #'s.

Yeah definitely, thanks for the tip.

Yes, giving the fact that its auto trans is shifting hard into reverse. Changing oil and filter didn’t do much. So swapping to 5 speed is a viable option.

Good Lawd! Park that at the local BMW dealer some would think it was new.

Congrats on finding an amazing survivor. Can't wait to see what you do with her as long as it's "tasteful"

Haha

Agree. Although I wouldn't be opposed to a 5 speed swap.

Buy another one to screw with. This is a small gold mine your sitting on. Moding the shit out of it and driving it in illlinois during the winter and your pristine car will be just another rusted crap e30 within 4 or 5 years.

Totally agree. Nothing crazy just few original parts to complete it. And it is sitting in the garage not seeing winter or even rain.
As of now it is sitting in the garage and my 2017 Lexus IS is sitting outside 😂

Call me boring; preserve it, don't mod it. Buy a $1500 beat e30 to mod.

I'm loving that car. So clean, great find.....

[Nalex]

Holy fuckin bananas! How does brand new 90’s leather smell?!?

smells like West Germany :D

Cracking example! That is one of the cleanest and lowest mileage 4 doors I've seen in a long time. A nice "i" or "iS" paint matched front lip spoiler would clean it up even more.

Any other future plans with it? Do you want convert it to a stick shift or leave it as is?

Also, how and where did you find such a low mileage car?

its only problem is rough shifting into reverse. So a swap to manual is a possibility here.

Got it from an older gentleman that had a collection of European cars BMW, Mercs, and Alfas.

yes I agree an IS lip and spoiler to be added.
