My E30 325i. Slowly getting on it's wheels

[Larsinnj]

I know it's special and it's definitely a like/hate object.
I sort of like it, and it turns peoples heads. It's a 10 min job to swap back to the black one.

But for now.. It stays..

You deserve to be slapped for that hood.
With all the work it ruins it. Its not even different its just a gay as fuck copycat trend. I dont understand.

End Rant

thehood makes baby jesus cry

Coilover mounted in the front. I'm satisfied with the height up front, but it needs to be lower at the back. I can't drive until I've rolled my wheel-arches.

I haven't mounted adjustable at the rear. Not sure if the bearings on the shock can handle the stiffness.

Haven't updated in a while. Let the pics speak for themselves.

Engine stripped again.


The reason why



Got the cylinderhead to a workshop that did some work on it. Porting, valveguides a sealings. Basically a full overhaul.

Before:




After




Crappy pics, I know..

Got this package some days ago. :D Along with adjustable camberplates.


How it is today.

Centercaps for the wheels have been bought, and the center of the wheel itself have been painted. A friend of mine have the lips and he will sand and polish them! :D
Can't wait to get these on the car. :p

[Larsinnj]

Did some photoshoping today. Found out that yellow and gold doesn't really fit together. It's wasn't a very good shop, but you see how it will be.

I also lowered it, fixed some scratches in the paint and made a silver M5-stripe at the bottom of the front and side skirts.

What's your opinion on the wheels? Keep them as it is, or paint them silver?

[Larsinnj]

My MHW tail-lights finally arrived today. Can't say tha difference is that big from the old ones, but at least theese are original. And I have another set of tails. I will paint them red and see what I like best. :)

Dirty car! :thmsdn5:

[Larsinnj]

I think so too, Kristian. :)

Cool that you like the wheels! :D I will buy new centercaps, but I won't paint them in that color until I have the wheels on the car. I wan't to see how the colors match first.
But I sereously believe that it will be perfect in that color.

Just needs to be a bit lower. Considering coilovers when I rebuild to 5-lug. :)

[KristianF]

This is gonna be great.

Looks Great. Seriously Jealous about the wheels!! They are sweeeet!

[Larsinnj]

Got something done this week too.

First of all, I took out the sunroof. It was full of rust, so I removed all the rust and painted it with rustpaint. Nothing showing on the outside.
Then I opened the drainpipes from the sunroof. They were full of old dirt.

After that I replaced the floormat. The old one was from a E36, so it didn't fit very well. A buddy scrapped a E30 touring a while ago, so I got the mat from that.

M-seat was also fitted. :)

Old vs new


"New" floormat fitted


Centerconsole in place



M-interior in place

Got some pics of the new rims today! :) 8,5 and 10x17 OZ Hartge! :D

The centercaps are missing but I know where to get new ones, so that's not a problem.
Just have to start looking for M3 hubs and brakes now! :P

[Larsinnj]

Bought a new set of rims today! :D

You'll have to wait to hear what kind, but I can reveal: It wil be win! :D
