    Midd Air’s 87’ 325is aka Slim Chunky

    Aloha people here is my 87’ 325is Here she was when I first got her Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Been a fan of the e30 since I was in high school. Been on the hunt for an early model original 87 325is black coupe in manual. When one popped up, ya boi swooped it up and started the build process. For the build I did not want to focus on speed, I wanted to focus on handling and aesthetics. I was already impressed with the m20 drivetrain. The cool thing about these cars is that you can change the look of them pretty quick by using the different bumpers throughout the different years. I opted for euro bumpers and a alpine front valance. I have some pics I gathered over the years. I will post em' as I go through my phone and computer. Thanks looking

    regards,
    Robin

                      Again photobombed by my kiddo.....for wheels I had to go with the chuck Taylor of wheels, the classic BBS Rs’s. I found this set in AZ when I was on a work trip. I actually ubered to a Hertz to rent a car to drive to the nearby town to pick em up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
