86 325i BMW e30

[A-Aron]

Hello everyone,
I recently traded my 87 supra turbo for an 86 e30 m20 stroker. Car is sitting on some 15x9 XXR 527's. Looking to get some chrome 16's at some point. Also plan on going lower as soon as I get some extra $$. Going through college right now so times are a little tough. Serious fitment issues but I can live with that for now. I'm enjoying it so far. #4doorformorewhores

Its a 2.7l block and a 2.5 head. Previous owner did the stroker rebuild so im not totally sure what the specifics are. About 20k on the rebuild and it runs good so far. It has an old flow master exhaust that sounds nice but is pretty beat up, so i will replace that at some point. Its on h&r springs and tokiko blue struts, would love to be on one piece coils but that will also come down the road. Its the start of a slow project for me, i'm just happy it is reliable and somewhat slammed.

Welcome.

Looks like a clean e30.

Lots of us around here know the university struggle, so you're in good company.

If you've gotta have the shiny on those wheels, do polished instead of chrome.

Looks like a clean platform to build off of!

Thanks for making me feel welcome. And yeah, polish is what i meant when i said chrome. I would love to get some polished chrome dishes at some point!

Just to clarify, polishing is smoothing the surface of the aluminum until it shines with abrasives. Chroming is a surface plating. The two are very different, though they look largely the same. Both have pros and cons, but polishing would be the way I would go every time.
