'91 M42 E30

Spec 1 · 09-16-2008, 02:47 PM

Took the E30 into work today as a lot of my morning had me out driving backroads.

Decided on one of my stops that I'd take a couple pics before I got on my way again.

Nothing major, just a few random shots. Still have lots to do before she can be a garage queen, but she's getting there. Comments of all sorts welcome.

It's a '91 E30, last model year.

Mtech valence
Custom skirts
17" Alpina reps
M3 Control Arms
M3 Polyuerethane bushings
Koni adjustable shocks
Vogtland springs
Cross-drilled rotors
Performance pads
Performance sensors
Redline fluids
Euro grliles
Euro projectors
55w HID kit
Infiniti 5 1/4" speakers
1000w Kenwood monoblock
Dual 12" JVC 1000w subs

More mods, too, but those are basics.

Looks clean man. If I had an e30 though, the first thing I'd do is try to order factory parts for the boxed fenders. I think the car needs those.

What do you mean by that?

Fenders are OEM. Are you talking about the "boxed"/widebody fenders the M3 has?

Yeah. I was saying I'd look for the part numbers for the e30 M3 boxed fenders.

thats wicked

FotiosF90M5 · 09-16-2008, 06:20 PM

I love it.

Wouldn't work unfortunately. You'd only be able to replace the front which would be uneven. The rear fenders are a part of the body so are not replaceable. Nobody makes a kit for it either besides some cheap Ebay fiberglass crap which will never touch my car. I really wish I had an E30 M3 to be honest, but I can't justify dropping $18,000 to get one

Damn that's too bad. Whatever though, it looks great as it is.

she is a real beauty. just... wow. try to get a different camera and put a bigger resolution.

also, can i get the picture originally used from your signature? i want it for my desktop background...

once again... that car is simply sexified.

Spec 1 · 09-17-2008, 07:23 PM

/\ Thanks. The above pics were taken with my work camera which is on lowest image quality. I haven't had a true photoshoot yet because I keep thinking of what I WANT it to be as opposed to what it IS and feel it's not worthy.

I'll see if I can find the pic from my signature. I know I've got some more high-res ones at home too so I'll get that as well.

Spec 1 · 09-17-2008, 07:29 PM

Here's a couple from that shoot, including a low-res one of what you wanted:

boxed fenders???/

i thought the boxed fenders were only for the 2 door m3's.........

iheartsole · 09-19-2008, 11:42 PM

looks clean

iamwiz82 · 09-19-2008, 11:47 PM

Couple of things:

1. I would love to restore an e30. Forget 60s era Camaros or Super Bees.
2. Don't lean on the freaking paint, man! You're gonna screw it up! /detailing freak
3. WTF is up with the VW? It's a frankenstein!

1) Me too.

Hoping to have this thing mint by the end.

2) I know!

I had to rebuild the front end and skirts and painted it all myself, so they're off a bit in hue, and I intend on completely respraying the car. I shouldn't touch it, i know, but for now its meh to me.

3) Haha! That was owned by this girl I hadn't met before. She could handle the corners well enough in it, though I think it must have been totalled once because the entire front end was rebuilt. Stock GTI engine, seemed a bit slow to me honestly.
