They should be able to, it seems like there should be another way but my minds a blank. I know on the e30 there were several different reds, I will see if I can find the list.
Hows the dashboard, cracked or good? If its good I would say you got a pretty good deal, looks like a pretty clean car with a pretty good interior (my #1 thing I look at after the body to tell wether or not e30s have been well taken care of.)

the dash has no cracks whatsoever, i looked all over the front under the hood, the only label i can read in the front shock tower is "BMW zinnoberrot", the other labels were too pilled to understand.
i used online translator and it said "tin-upper-red" i guess it is the color of the car after all, if any1 has a better translation let me know.

Yea thats your color right there, just call it zinnoberrot and call it a day, all the reds end in rot, hence brillantrot (Brilliant red). Since no cracked dash I would say you got a nice ride there, i mean besides the slushbox and dakar rally suspension.

u jelouse man i can feel it
how can i find out what suspension does the IS model have, i assume is different than stock models, are the springs lower or the shocks are sport
i do plan on doing the H&R/billstein in the future, i think that will be my only upgrade, but the car handles very well as it is, would like to see it lower though
what are the rims of choice, i mean size wise, is 16's the preferred on the E30 or 15 is ok too? thanks

The sport is slightly lower then the normal e30, it also has a better shock unit i think. The H&R sport should drop it nicely with the bilsteins it will be a fun ride. Either 15s or 16s work well, i have 17s but if I were to do it again I think I would go for 16s.
