wow, BIMMER, you have one of the sickest E30s ive seen! looks great!

Looking back at those pics ive noticed i havent updated for a while.
Heres a few newer pics showing a few changes.
Wheels are now 16" Hartge,IMO one of the best wheels for the E30!
Also tinted the rear lights Red and smoked the front fogs.
Bought a pair of new rear wheel arches which will be fitted as soon as the weather improves.Old arches will be cut off,inner arch repair as needed and new arches fitted.
All this will be carried out by my mate Chris who is a welder/fabricator by trade with superb welding skills.
Then i will be having both sides of the car sprayed upto the top of the wings.This will be done by another friend Andy who will also be doing the finishing of the rear arches first along with any other marks/scratches etc.
Hopefully the bodywork will be done and completed by July time?

H&R 40mm springs have been ordered and should be here this week.Ride height on 35mm is just that little bit too high for my liking so 40mm should be perfect.
E36 M3 eccentric bushes and standard E30 antiroll bar bushes are to be fitted at the same time as the H&R`s.Should make a noticable change to ride/steering feel.
May also look into fitting an E36 rack in the near future.

Anyway heres some more recent pics!

well, i'd hope nobody on here would want to hook up any car "in a ricer way"

those pics DO make we want to do an M50 swap. maybe out in the future when my engine finally gives. IF it gives before my body. where did you guys find your M50s?

For an e36 steering rack the "shortest" one is the Z3 steering rack, even less than the M3's it seems because a lot of track drivers change theirs out to them.
