...Damn.


Pulled the odo gears, three of them broken. That's 75 god damn dollars just to ensure routine oil changes. Not sure if this is worth it just yet.



The tach didn't work, so I pulled the SI board and desoldered the batteries. I've got new ones coming.

 

So are you swapping parts from the light blue one into the Jamaican one, or parts from the Jamaican one into the light blue one, or keeping both driveable? I'm confused

 

Blue car has a blown transmission and I'm still working the bugs out in.
Rasta car also has a blown transmission but should be relatively reliable other than that.

Plan is, fix blue car, fix rasta car, get blue car sorted out, then rasta car goes under the knife.

 

bump for updates!!

 

That has been one hell of a project, keep up the good work!

 

..... im a 325ix guy myself. I love to see people breathe new life into these cars.
Keep up the good work. May i recommend the Alpina kopi (or knock off) wheels as the best looking wheels on this car. enjoy and good luck.

 

I like Kopis but they don't come in 16x8, which is really the only size they should have come in. Too bad.

Anyway.

Sooo... I didn't bring my damn camera, I had to use my (horrible) phone camera.











Mad rake yo!

 

Rears







Not super mad stanced yo, but it was more about the proper suspension than the stance. I've got M3 endlink tabs now, but no endlinks long enough to reach them yet.

Here's the final height after I revised the front height. Herrafrush super mad tyte stance status omfg!

 

lol you need to drop that ***** another 2" and ride on 24s yo!

Lookin' real good Nate...I want to get my e30 in the garage soon...still looking been finding $500 shells with little rust.

 

i love the new height! y0!!!!!!one!!1

 

Now I'm starting to like see what you saw in this car.

 

And surprisingly I haven't been totally bankrupted by the incessant need for excessive maintenance by this money pit of an old BMW

 

looks good, just dont buy those low offset steel wheels just to be "flush"...

 

I will get some low offset wheels, but probably not diamond racing wheels, and they won't poke out of the fender wells.
