E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series My Sony Xplod cd player. The face of it flips out automatically to reveal the cd loader and all of the controls.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series The inside part of the cd player. Glows red and blue in the dark. I'm also selling the stock premium 5.25" speakers, which I have 4 of. E-mail me, or sign my guest book if you're intrested.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series Smoked front turn signals from Turner Motorsports.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series Red painted rear turn signals, it's an easy mod, and looks so much better than amber turn signals.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series Before bumper tuck.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series After bumper tuck. It looks a lot better, but took a long time to do. Sign my guestbook or e-mail me if you need any help on this, or any of the other mods I've done.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series Before rear bumper tuck.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series After rear bumper tuck. The rear bumper tuck also turned out great, I need to adjust it a little to fix the slight gap between the bumper and the plastic molding though.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series The Team Dynamics Racing 17" wheels.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series Smoked side markers. Easy to make, it only took about an hour.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series I removed the 325 badge, and replaced it with e30.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series New EBC Green Stuff pads and EBC sport rotors. Also replaced the calipers.

I added the high beam intake I custom made myself to my car.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series All euro spec gauges. I just swapped the 5k tachometer out for the 7k tachometer from a 325i, since my redline is no longer 4800, but 5300. For some reason, it reads the idle 200 rpm high, but everything else is correct.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series Going with the euro theme, I installed a euro check pannel, written in German.

E30BMWPower's 1986 BMW 3-Series I painted my grill black again, and I also painted the front bumper trim.

Hey, just had a few questions about some mods you did on your car. when you painted out your reflectors and stuff, think you could tell me a little more detailed on how i could do that myself, same with all the trim and stuff, also, when you tucked your bumper (as have i) did you change the valance? or is that the stock valance? Thanks, if you reply, think you could reply to mats_pc@hotmail.com Mat.
