This is a 1988 BMW e30 m3 in original Henna Red w/ VIS-racing carbon hood, & many new parts.

These 1st set of pix are w/ its current Beyern wheels, the second set is with my stock BBS wheels.


The next few pictures are of my car with the OEM 15" BBS wheels with Kumho directionals. I use the 15" wheels and tires for hard driving such as at the track or pylon racing. They seem to track better as that is the stock configuration BMW raced originally. The Beyern's are for taking my wife out to dinner, shiny objects you know.

It is incredible to drive, like a go cart with only 2,600 pounds and a 220+hp dual overhead cam motor with no lag in response. It has the following improvments:

-VIS carbon hood

-Dinan 18hp performance chip

-Nology hot wires
-Nology power core
-Mallory hi-perf coil
-Nology silver-tip plugs

-Tokico 5way adjustible hi-perf shocks (adjustment in tower), the strut towers have been cambered in 1/2" each, requiring a custom made Ireland Engineering strut bar for fit.

-Kumho directionals on my stock 15" BBS's

-These are my 17" Beyern's; both sets of wheels, Beyern and BBS are made in Germany with BMW models in mind.

-Eibach sway bars
-Eibach 2" racing springs
-Racing Dynamics rear strut bar

-DevilsOwn alcohol injection system (See page 3)

-Aluminum air intake boot by "EngineWorks"
-Custom cold air heat shield
-FSE power boost/adjustible fuel regulator
-Spectrum cold air filter & adapters

-Euro H1 smiley lights


-Borla exhaust

-M-tech2 Euro leather steering wheel

-VDO extra gauges and center console pod

The interior is fairly stock. It has been redyed and hand rubbed to work the dye into the leather. A good portion of the age wrinkles are removed. The dash is and was perfect and it has a new console.

The rear seat has also been redyed and redone.

The headliner was restretched and reglued after the previous owner basically tried some "do it yourself" wierd remedies on it. This led to basic destruction of the back pilar covers as well. These have been removed and recovered with black cowhide.
