My e30 will be gone in a few weeks, as I'm giving it to my cousins. Check out page 7 for my new BMW.

Chip, Pioneer Speakers, Yokohama Tires, Tokico Shocks - 64My 1986 325e. Has a 2.7 liter inline 6 engine with a Dinan performance chip installed. Also has Eibach lowering springs dropping it about 2 inches and Tokico performance shocks. I have also rewired the sidemarkers to flash with the turn signals. It's a easy mod, and it cost me nothing to do, I recommend it.

Chip, Pioneer Speakers, Yokohama Tires, Tokico Shocks - 96 I've painted the front and rear chrome window strips black and have had the windows tinted. I now have EBC Green Stuff brake pads and EBC sport rotors. See page 3 for a picture.

("e" from the eta cars, "30" from a newer e46 330Ci).

Chip, Pioneer Speakers, Yokohama Tires, Tokico Shocks - 97Front view of car. I've tucked the bumpers, check page 3 for the new look. The smoked turn signals are from Turner Motorsports. I have moved the front plate to the drivers side and installed the front plate delete piece from Bavarian Autosport. I also got personalized plates, (86 E30) check page 3 for the picture, as well as the e36 M3 mirrors.

Same view as above, but at night with the lights on.

Chip, Pioneer Speakers, Yokohama Tires, Tokico Shocks - 57 Another front view of my car. I painted my chrome grill black again after my last one broke, check the top of this page. I also made the side markers smoked, as well as adding an air intake through my driver's side high beam. I then replaced the stock air filter with a K&N filter. Check page 3 for a better picture of the side markers and of the headlight intake.

Chip, Pioneer Speakers, Yokohama Tires, Tokico Shocks - 52 Rear view of my car. I painted the amber turn signals red. You can't really tell the difference unless if you go really close to it, but it's better than $350 for OEM all red tail lights. I also added another european option to my car, the rear plate background. I had to drill holes for the California plates to fit. Check out the third picture on this page for the difference.
