Hi Guys,

I've had my Lazur Blue 318iS for a while now, and I thought it a good idea to post some pictures up for you guys to see.

I've been very busy with the car, bringing it up to the standard its in at the moment. I used a clay bar to clean up to paintwork last summer, which significantly improved the shine of the car.

Engine: Standard, I only intend to keep it running in perfect order.

Suspension: I recently fitted a H&R cup kit - comprising of 60/40 H&R springs and matched H&R shocks. The handling is exceptional.

Brakes: Standard

Interior: UK spec Silver Anthracite Recaro Check seats. M-Tech 1 Steering wheel. (all standard on UK iS's)

Exterior: Alpina replica wheels (came with the car), i'm not a big fan of these wheels as they're not good for performance, but they look rather good. :)
I've also got a set of 15" BBS wheels, which I may spray negaro silver in the future. Kidney grill sprayed matt black. German plates and holders. Smoked Indicators front and clear side repeaters.

Future Plans:
1. Upgrade the brakes - Fast road EBC pads and goodridge braided brake hoses.
2. Powerflex bushes and ARBs.
3. Have the engine and interior steam cleaned.

Anyway, heres the pics:

Lazur Blue is one of the best colors for the e30. Nice car and tasteful mods.

Don't paint the rims, they look very good in plain silver. That is a very nice car you have there, interesting brake duct treatment.

Car looks awesome, especially with the 15" weaves. Love the Color!

[punk_sy]

Thanks for the comments guys, its nice to know that the car is appreciated by enthusiasts such as yourselves.

As for the interior pics, sorry for the quality as it was taken on my phone (and sorry for the mess - im a 19year old university student!)

I will be having the interior professionally cleaned this coming summer, its a very light grey colour so as you can imagine, it hasn't taken kindly to 17years of daily use.

As for the 15" BBS, I took them off because the guy I bought them off had budget tyres fitted to them, so they don't really look pleasing to the eye. They are the right size (205/55/R15), but I think i'll buy new tyres in 205/50/R15.

Nice to see a UK member on here. As for the foglights, they were on my car when I bought it, but I believe they were a factory option as I have seen many iS's without them.

If you want to learn more about your e30 maybe you could try these sites:

Very nice 318is you have over there Ajay (and a very rare color like mine :)). It looks like brand new! Original BBS alloys look better on this E30 model (the only thing I personally dislike are the kidneys painted in black because the car lacks personality without the aluminum ones and the front air intakes in silver or gray).
Congratulations and welcome! Keep the car in the great condition it is!
