While you where at bimmerfest...my car.

[christophbmw]

Anyway here is my car, finally.

Mods:
-Pretty much stock (thats the way i like it).
-rebuilt engine, suspension, shfter (and yes its a stock shift lever...I can shift fast enough.) and most of the interior.
-leather boot for e-brake
-anolog clock
-alarm delete
-bilistein shocks W/ stock springs (love the setup), rubber bushings (i like it quiet).
-"is"lip spoiler
-oil cooler inlet peice on air dam
-french fogs W/ clear lens's
-H1 high beams W/ 100W bulbs
-55W rack mounted backup lights
-tinted windows, new fenders (front)
-chrome ex. tip
-michlin tires (best mod so far
-Over 1000W Alpine stereo (mind you i only have an 8" sub, i dont like to "bump")
-and my "M" stripes, i dont consider being a poser unless there is an actual "M"

Mods for the future:
-Chip
-more sound insulation
-LSD diff (possibly 3.93)
-re-upholstered leather seats....possibly 2 tone
-new carpet (the factory stuff is very cheap)
-.....i think thats it, maybe a re-wraped steering wheel, oh and definetly a new paint job, the paint really looks like shit!

And this one was taken at Avilla beach the same day as bimmerfest (man i wish i could have gone), that is Pismo beach & the Oceana dunes in the backround.



.......enjoy!

picks no worky, first pic is nice, i like what you'v done. personaly i like the M stripes, if its a technic car then why not. However i think you need to drop the front...  and perhaps some euro trim and detexturize the air dam. did you keep the motor stock  or did you build it up a little when you rebuilt it? has it been dyno'd?

Engine is stock. i will detexturize the air dam, rocker panels, and rear skirt when i get the car re-painted. for now im just keeping it stock, im trying to buy a house so im being very frugul when it comes to my car. I have good plans for it though.

no hurry, just a couple of my thoughts. i have many things i plan on doing/am doing but it all takes time, i understand:)

nice pics, i guess the rack's a must if youre riding/living in tahoe. i like the wheels w that subtle dished out look, who makes them??

[mikesjo]

BMW makes them, they're rare I think.

Ya i think they are pretty rare, ive only seen them on one other E30. They came W/ the car when i bought it.

[kowalski]

you can buy them from bmw still, they're fairly expensive and iits cheaper just to piece your own together and it will look the same. the visor is a nice touch tho, i really like the racks with the visor for some reason.

Ya i paid a premium price for it on ebay because thule doesnt make that visor anymore (it make the wind noise VERY much quiter).

Hey does anyone ski/snowboard in the Tahoe area?
