omg that car is soooo clean! this is what every sleeper E30 should look like. nice car!

[mdistel]

Thanks, it is a sleeper. Other than the lowered stance, agressive exhaust and wheels you can't tell.

Thanks for the trade offer but I'm trying to reduce the amount of cars I have.

Let me know if you decide you don't want to reduce:D(trade, assuming you'd be interested). Otherwise, free bump, I'm starting to really like M50 E30s!

[dude8383]

if i may ask, why the mismatched shocks and springs?

clean car...i'd love to have one eventually!

[mdistel]

I originally put E30 M3 springs all around but the rear was too high so I installed bavauto. I have the front bavauto springs and they will be included with the sale. I read that HD were a good match for the M3 springs. They were installed first, when I switched to the bavauto for the rear I choose to put in the sport struts. Done at a latter date.

I have been looking for an E30 M3 to put an S50 in since i sold my E30 325i 3 years ago but I am intrigued with your car. Which Diff is in it? Have you dyno'd it or been to the track to know what kind of 1/4 time and trap speed your getting? Im sorry for all the questions but I really like the looks of your car, and when I do buy another E30 M or not I want Henna Red or Delphin Gray, my E46 is Silvergrey so I think these two would look nice together. Also If you have more photo pm me and I'll send you my email.

Sexy. Very well done.

[grydemon]

Clean car, good luck on the sale...

[mdistel]

Thanks guys. I may become more motivated to sell (i.e. price drop, make an offer), found a Z3 coupe that may be hard to pass up. Will also consider selling my 95 325is 76k miles as well. Enjoy
