Hey R3vlimited. Been lurking for along time with owning many different e30's over the past 6 years. First one was a 1987IC with auto Transmission, came with 16x8 xxr wheels, hacked springs, kyb struts and hacked e36 seats and smelly interior. Test drove her on beautiful spring day and that's where it all started. Before driving the car I always hated verts. Looked funny with soft tops in general.
(SOLD)First car mods. Full GC coilovers, Poly Bushings, Resealing different things around the car, fixing alot of different things around the car and just enjoying it as is for awhile with swapping with ESM wheels...
(SOLD) Second car was Black 1989iX brought from another member on here. Spent all my time fixing and never really driving the car much :-( . I know how some of you feel on this.... Did a bunch of things to the car over 1.5 year ownership...
Third car was Red 1992 vert. Originally only brought it really for hardtop but then he brought out some other BMW e30 vert goodies and I couldn't say no. So then I liked this car better then my silver vert so I swapped over all parts I wanted to keep. Had to fix the softtop window, struts were blown, swap out soft eibach spring with GC touring kit, suspension with adjustable subframe, LSD installed, New OEM bushings, Fuel lines, CA bushings, Control arms, Stereo upgraded, subs installed, 17x8.5 Apex wheels. ....Making it great comfortable daily... Now the car has been swapped with 5 speed tranny and upgrade touring bimmerheads top end with 93 chip and 19IB pound injectors as of last year. Now for the build sheet.
Fourth Car 1987IS MT bone stock when I got it. Swapped in my GC coilovers and have ton , Massive Big Brake kit up front, Have poly bushing and yes I am just going to make build sheet for this car.
(SOLD) Fifth car , 1990 Coupe, with Bimmerheads touring head and IE 3.1 stroker bottom with CXracing rods, New oil pickup pump and other parts brought with the car. Engine had knock. One of bearings is messed up :( Not running just bought it for parts and have since sold the car shell. Have to gete the block and crack looked over to see if I can use it….
SixthE30, Running and driving vert, Damaged in front by deer. Parted out.
Seventh E30, Just Recently picked up German Imported car with mtech 1 goodies and redone interior, Newer top, Bosch Headlights, Headlight wipers kit missing the parts in headlights. Body is rust free for most part but there are many small dents around the car not seen with phone camera. Car needs some good TLC and possibly dent removal guy and maybe more, haven't check it much…. Just got yesterday 2/18/2018.
Thought it's better to make build thread now or I'll keep forgetting everytime I get another car…. Thanks R3vlimited with helpful build threads, DIY’s, Photos. My grammar sucks, Bare with me please.
