Ok, decided it's about time to show off my progress..and from what i started 
Story of getting the car is pretty simple. I've done some freelance programming and from my first moneyz decided to get a car. My father had e30 few years ago..and we both were totaly in love with BMW's..
so here's what it looked when i brought it home
it was pretty much f.ked up - only 3 ou of 4 cylinders worked, head was blown, lots of suspension parts needed change etc.
Fortuna smiled to me, i met with a guy who was studying in university, and he needed to make a warehouse controlling app to graduate..also he was a very talented when it comes to engines and cars in general (he drives e30 m30b35 ) i offered him my services for exchange in engine swap
so i got an engine swapped for free. Then was the time to change bearings etc..
then local dealer of used BMW parts contacted me and asked for web page in exchange for some parts. I wanted some wheels and tires..Style 32's
then was the winter and some drop.. in this pic car is frozen 
some snow..
was browsing internetz and found bimmerforums..Droooooled all over the place and cought slammage feever there.. Sean, Silv3r, Mike and Austin are responsible for this
Thank you a lot
Decided i need some bbs in my life and then swapped my style 32's for BBS RF Styling 5000. 8.5 et40, 225/45 fronts, 235/45 rears
and got this broken mtech bumper for cheap
rattle canned the bumper only pics i have is from primering..
polished whe wheels and spaced them out (20mm)
not on the flat ground, don't mind that huge gap
got the coils. mounted them. was happy with ride height for about a week. Lowered. Again, week. Lowered. Two weeks. Maxed out. Week..want lower
this is how it sits at the moment..

here's how i want it to sit in the rear
oh an here's random reflection shot
also there were lots of mods i don't have pictures of: installing hids, fogs (had to do all the wiring), swapping mechanic windows to electric ones etc etc.
plans: bring the front another inch. Bring the rear a looot.
drop in m50b25 with m52b28 internals (~230 hp). Get white leather interior. Recaro preferably. Get mtech sideskirts (twisted ones). Get rear mtech bumper. Search for wider lips and widen rear RF's to 9.5-10inch.
Respray whole car.
basicaly, this is my lego kit i love this car. I love how much i learned about cars in general, while owning it - i didn't know sh1t..and now..well, i've done almost everything on this car myself..
i love all the memories asociated with this car. (no, i didn't lost virginity in it. but there were a lot of good times. 
)
just looking at all these pics is something..
oh, and note - my ground clearance is smaller than a fender gap was
Thanks for reading.. comments and suggestions are wellcome
