Hello everyone and welcome to my build thread. After many years of being in the 240 scene I decided to try something different. I picked up a 1991 BMW 318i around 4 months ago. I've done a few things to it since then and I would like to share it with you guys. Enjoy!
My last 240 before I converted lol
Now on to the e30...
When I first got her
First things first, did some motor maintenance and alittle bit of engine bay cleaning
Now its time for the fun stuff
My buddy Cesar from E30 Motoring helping me with the cutting and welding part of the install
Coilovers installed
Oil pan is pretty low and the roads in Jersey ain't so pleasant...
So I went ahead and got me a Race Skids plate
Also installed an OEM lip, the "IS" lip is cool and all but I kinda like the way this one looks on the e30s
After about 3 weeks of driving around and enjoying the car, I accidently took a lane that I know I shouldn't have taken. I was in a rush to get to work when a car in front was going to slow for me. So I went around it and there lied a nice big and wide sewer drain that dipped down a good 6in, enough to destroy some shit. Lesson learned!
OUCH!
Hammered it back in place
Luckily I had an extra oil pan lying around
Finally got some new shoes and tires
Why didn't I roll the fenders the first? another lesson learned lol
Time to get rolling
So that's it for now, the car still needs some suspension tlc such as trailing arm bushings, control arm bushings, etc. I'll keep you guys updated, thanks for looking.
