  • My e30 318is after a mini overhaul

    Picked this 1991 318is up as a daily driver 2 months ago and have put in quite a bit of work on it since. Just got done completely overhauling the suspension with all new bushings, control arms, sway bar linkages, etc. I also built a set of Ground Control coilovers which consisted of shortening the strut housings by 2". I am currently filming a "video build" of all the work I do on it step by step, so that will be coming out once I'm done painting it.

    Now that suspension and wheels are done, the next task is paint and then the car will be complete and my attention will go back to my Roundie. Let me know what you guys think.

    So clean. Only thing I can say is the rear could come down a little bit and it would be perfect

      Unfortunately the rear is maxed out. Running no adjusters and no spring pads, just the spring and top nylon cone. The whole car would probably be about an inch lower if this wasn't the case. Thanks though!

              I was a bit skeptical of the caps before I put them on, I kind of liked the looked of the bolts showing. Once I put a cap on though it was obvious that I had to run them, it just completed the look.

                  Thanks! I built that a few weeks ago, it was a fun project. Here are a few pics from that build:

                              Ive always liked the look of the 16" style 5 on these e30's. After paint it'll look fantastic!
