Car is looking great! I give you credit for taking such a nice example back out on the track. Though it's not often I see track videos with snow just off the apex!

The track conditions at the last event were certainly far from ideal (frozen track and snow on some of the apexes). I didn't push the car very hard and gave myself plenty of room in the braking zones. Coming from a series of high horsepower AWD cars, driving this low power RWD was a fun and new experience. I'm hooked. ;D

If I start going more events in the E30 I'll pick up another set of wheels and mount a respectable track/autocross tire.

Not E30 related, but I took my wagon to the last track event due to the weather. Lots of fun! Big thanks and photo credit to Mach V Motorsports (again) and Alex McKenzie!

The F31 has been great for a family of 4 (forward and rear facing car seats in the back). The ZF8 transmission is quite good, but I'd still prefer a manual, which is not available in the US for the 3 series wagons. I do wish there was a little more cargo room, similar to a Volvo V70, but I put an 8' cargo box up top for overnight road trips.
His looks exactly the same except he powder coated his wheels back and put back grills in the front. Really made it look nice1992 325i Convertible - "project"

Sub'd really fell in love with the look of your car. So much that I purchased stock weaves to replace my 16" style 5's. There is almost nothing I'd change on this car. By any chance did anyone ever tell you what they soak the dash in? I know someone mentioned 303 but wanted to know what you ended up doing

I can attest that 303 is indeed really good stuff! PS this thread and that wagon are FIRE!!!!!!FEEDBACK:
