E30 - Factory Fresh and Grounded

[racer86]

Yo!

Well, I nearly bought an E30 5 years ago but it fell through... 5 years later, having just sold my Roadster, the right car came up at the right time and I jumped on it! So here's my new daily:







The car is beyond immaculate and has been in the care of the RAF all its life; basically it's been pampered and kept under a cover or in a garage.

It's also optioned up to the max for a 316i



















I did the decent thing as soon as I got it home and gave it a major service (not that it needed one, it has a full dealer history and every recipt from new!)



Yes, that is OEM BMW Underseal and I made sure the car was covered in the stuff!







Next on the to-do list was get it sitting right. Within days of it being on my drive BC coilovers, a sump guard and new rims were ordred:









I booked a couple of days off work so I had a long weekend to get stuck into it. It wasn't all smooth running (more on my blog: www.racer86.com), but I got there:













The result of all this:











Once it's settled this weekend I'm going to drop it a little more, but you get a good idea. The wheels are Axis OG2s which I have spaced out (20mm rear, 15mm front). I know replica, fake splits...I suck at life.

Anyway, I'll keep this updated as I go and hopefully it will end up being cool.

Thanks dude. I feel dirty as I write this, but they are Axis OG2s...fake splits....fake SSR mesh. I've gone from a Roadster on genuine SSR MK2s to running these. What can I say? The quality is really good for the money and they make a nice change from OEM BBSs but keep the mesh style that suits these cars so well.

Specs are: 15x8 et25 with 20mm rear spacers and 15mm front. Tyres are 195/50s.

I'm not cool.

That's one of the cleanest car's I've ever seen that old, it looks better taken care of than most new cars.

Can't wait to see it settled/dropped more.

[MadMax]

Looks so good

Very nicely done, you found yourself a great platform! Keep up with the status of it.

Who cares if your wheels are knock offs? Your car is absolutely beautiful... so you can pull it off


Lovin it man!!

So, the weather has sucked the last week, but I managed to drop it another 15mm now it's settled. A bit of tweeking and it still rides nice too which is a bonus. I've also ordered some slightly bigger spacers so I can hand back the loaners I'm running now.





Sump guard runs pretty low now...






















Thanks for all the props too!
