[Sam's E30 Dubai]

Hello Everyone,

Sam here, from the UK but living in Dubai for coming on to 15 years. Last week I was fortunate enough to realise my dream, an 87 E30 2.0i, which I am turning into a childhood dream come true.

I have plans for this and lucky enough some of the work has already been done but am progressing at lightning speed to get my dream on the road.

It's a 2.0 replaced with an E36 2.5 straight six and gearbox and an E28 differential.

Interior has been neglected a bit and I need to work on that as well as the electrics and wiring need a little love and care.

I am in the process of doing a 5 bolt conversion and am just waiting on coilovers to arrive so I can get moving with that. I work in a wheel company out in Dubai so am currently looking into the wheels but for now I've got a set of OZs until the right set comes along (multi piece Schnitzers or Hartges).

I am going to be removing the sunroof and filling it in with a sheet of metal and once done and the mechanics all sorted, I will be doing a full respray in a BMW orange but not 100% decided on that yet. Ive nearly ruled it down to either Orange crush or Fire Orange but knowing me, that might change.

Once everything has been sorted, I will be putting a small turbo on there just to get a little extra mmmumph.

Hoping to get advice from everyone on here along my journey.

Posted a few pics so I can keep all my progress in here.

Ate you doing an m3 kit on it? The back looks like an m3 quarter panel with deck lid

Yep. It has an Evo kit fitted on to it now.

Do you by any chance know how I can post up pics that display rather than just links?

Good luck on your build and welcome to the forums! I think you can use the inline image button at the top of rhe message box.

Thank you. It says add an image from URL and doesn't give me any other option
