It all started once I traded my 96' A4 for my 88' E30, I instantly fell in love with BMW's and wanted something I could actually feel was right to call "mine." The E30 I traded for already had work done by the owner so basically I just drove the thing and ***** being asked what I myself did to it, which was nothing other than stretching tires on it. It was a nice car to have senior year of highschool but once I got that itch to do something myself and be able to actually say proudly, "yeah she's mine" I knew I needed something else.
Interestingly enough, a few weeks later I get a text out of the blue from this guy with this E34, had 110,000 original miles on it and every receipt for maintenance and oil bought since 92'. The E34 hadn't grown on me just yet, but when you are in Oregon in the winter and your heater no longer works and you test drive a car with a working heater, your mind plays tricks on you. lol. So because of the heater working and it driving nice, I traded straight up for it.
The day after I traded my 88' E30 for this 92' E34
I didn't like the rep mirrors so tossed on the factory ones
Bike rack time, also was getting ready to move from Oregon to Arizona at this time. Loaded her down with all my stuff which surprisingly fit easier than I would have thought.
Arrived in AZ!
After a 1,000 mile long but nice drive, got the ODO to come up a bit
Painted my BBS
Funny thing, not trying to be a "subaru guy" but I do a lot of driving out into the dusty rocky dirt roads to go shooting and thought these might help save my paint. Didn't work so i took them off.
Had too... lol
Finally my coilovers came in with my spacers. I don't have a lift and I don't know how to weld so I had Tony out in Glendale, AZ do the work. he did an awesome job and recommend anybody in AZ go see him for work.
Rolling into the shop ready for some low!
This is the aftershot, well side shot after the coils went on, also
Got my muffler thrown on and also have these headers going in hopefully by today
This is how she is sitting currently, I love it a lot but need bigger spacers now to bring the wheels out where i want them, new tires went on as well surprisingly don't rub. Went from a 235/45-17 to 215/45-17, tony rolled my fenders as well and touched up my cracked fender thankfully
I work and live on the road so it might be a few more months before I get home to continue working on this, my plans as of now is for a motor swap but still haven't decided on what motor I want in, maybe later I'll know (; Fix my cracked front bumper (ran over a few rabbits going 80, unintentionally) Replace my fog lights that were taken by the bunnies, fix my headlight issue and my seat lean. She is far from perfect and it's still a long road till finished, hopefully I can buy a nice camera soon!
