My first e30! Daily driver turned into show car

Oh nice, like i said, couldn't remember haha. Forgot to mention, glad to hear you are sticking with the tan, everyone seems to go to black instantly. Kept the tan in mine and it really grew on me, I'd do tan in my e21 but it would look terrible with baltic blue haha.

I love the way this is turning out! I would ditch the comfort seats for some OE sport seats or some era specific Recaros & find some IS side skirts and rear valance!

I love tan lol. Makes it look classy. My girls e30 has all black interior so I stuck with the tan.

IS's didn't have side skirts (well OEM BMW anyways) or different rear valances than the other years. There are tons of aftermarket options though. Also anymore you'd have to find some sport seats and recover them, e21 guys have the same issue with oem recaro's.. most are trashed since they are 20+ yrs old.

I'm not saying I don't like it, shit my 7 series from this era is on rs'es. It's overdone because it looks so good, but its nonetheless overdone.
I dunno I feel that the cars that really stick out are the ones who's owners take chances with them.

Hell I like it this way too, just there's so many e30's with nardis on rs'es

Also stance the camaro. got that solid rear axle like a truck bruh.

Haha, there's a guy that put a C4 Vette IRS in one. I thought about that. But I still think a stanced Third Gen would be badass.

Thanks guys for all the positive comments. I got the nardi knob from this shop called crowders customizing. And ive always liked the way bbs looked on e30s so thats why i bought them. its hard to be unique when literally everything has been done you know? i havent really seen fully polished rs on e30s thats why i did mine that way my nardi wheel is also rare ive only seen mine and one other. paint is different never seen a jet black e30. i can go on lol im going to make it my own though so thats all that matters.

I'd like a Nardi wheel for my AMG when I refinish the AMG wheel, I want a set of polished 17" BBS RS for my AMG too.

Don't worry about trying to be different, just build it for yourself. There are tons of e30's so doing something different is a rarity. There is a Black E30 in KY right now (originally was in FL) that sits on fully polished RS's, different shade of black and is swapped with a 24v but yours is clean as shit. All that matters is that you enjoy it. Id rather see 50 clean e30's that look the same than 1 e30 trying to be different as most of the time they are over the top.

Also, might want to do some checking on the seats... if my memory serves correct 4dr seats mount different than 2dr seats... but its been a couple years since I had mine. Moved on to e21's haha

Agreed, I'd rather see a lot of clean E30s, than over done cars.

I saw a old E32 7 series the other day, blue, slammed with some wide ass tires, looked good.

I didnt get sport seats because a lot of people have them, there are no original mint sets out there for sale and because the comfort seats look better with the nardi wheel. more oldschool and im not a fan of the recaros

See these skirts:

Those are OEM side skirts, I know because I own a couple sets with OEM part numbers.

And here are your part numbers:

Interesting, out of all the e30's I've seen I've never seen those. Thanks for the link, always nice to learn something new.

[e30abe89]

Where did you find the wooden valve cover? I've been looking all over the place for one of those! It goes so well with brown metallic, I need one!
