Hi guys, I'd like to introduce myself on this forum. I'm more active on E30 and BMW forums, but I've been coming here a lot lately for fitment questions and figure I should join to actually be able to ask them.
So I'm a young guy from Edmonton and I'm into old BMWs pretty heavily, but I appreciate almost every kind or style of car.
Here I'll show pictures that I have on me of my cars right now and give a quick run-down on what they are/what they've had done to them.
First up: my absolute baby and first car, The Bonsai Bimmer. This is my Japanese-import 1990 325i Touring (wagon in BMW talk). This is the car that got me into E30s and I love the shape of the wagons. Most of these photos are at the height of her glory, but being ~4" lower than stock in the front eventually ruined the front end and smashed the oil pan
So what has been done to this... I bought it and knew it needed to be lower, I was not a fan of how high the front sat so went all in and fixed everything it needed. I installed an H&R race cup kit, UUC sway bars, IE front strut brace, upgraded the brakes to IE's Wilwoods front and rear 310mm rotors and 6 piston front, 4 piston rear calipers. The shifter also sucked so I put in an IE short shifter with urethane bushings, and a full headers to tips IE stainless exhaust.
So that sufficed for a while, I was on AC Schnitzer Type I wheels. I put on a Mason Engineering front x-brace and skid plate to protect the oil pan, and it did a great job. But I needed some new wheels and tires that were slightly more agressive, so I had a set of Rotiform ROC 3-piece race wheels made 16x8/9 and put some Falken FK452 tires on them, and some KA Motors ultra-wide flares to make them fit. For now I think that's it...
In those photos you can also see a few other cars, one of my other E30s and my 2006 Audi A8L, and my brothers MK1 Volkswagen GTI on his old crappy wheels. Here are just some assorted photos of my other cars. None of them are especially nice right now, all of these are projects. And one more of the bros GTI.
