The E30 Trailer... Picture Timeline (Almost 100 Pics)

[Mad Machine]

very very nice. I am kind of surprised you did not do something with the sparetyre well. Sort of like how the Honda Ridgeline has that underbed storage space

[tabasco]

So cool. I like that you matched up the wheels. It really ties the whole thing together. It definately needs a drop!

That is soo cool man. So innovative. Very nice.

Good job.

[RRocket]

Awesome, i was waiting for the full process pics!

great work man!

this is why the e30 > all, because even if it gets f-ed up, you can still use it for something!

[StoRm.328i]

Thats awesome.
Came out great!

That is cool and all, but you need to put that euro rear bumper on the car, not the trailer. Swap bumpers because your tow vehicle will look 1423x better with Euro front and rear instead of euro front and US rear. Please, the diving boards look 50x worse when on a car with one euro bumper.


That is my only gripe, otherwise, I LOVE this project. Very cool, and looks like some high quality work as well.

props man, that's cool as heck!

[///M3Matt]

very cool.....well done

I'm confused. I thought you had the diving board on there so you could use the tow hitch, but this picture shows the trailer attached to the euro bumper. I guess it was not actually attached?

Also, they had tow hitches in Europe, so couldn't you find another euro bumper and use that on the rear.

One more question, is there a differential on the trailer, or did you fabricate a new axle or something?

Looks like an awesome project, and it turned out really well!

needs a drop
looks good man

Also, it IS lowered damn it! I'm keeping my eye out for some rear Eibach Prokit springs though, they would lower it a bit more. It's currently on Racing Dynamics.

[MR 325]

I love how you left the door strikers (latches) on there. Awesome job. Did you part the rest of that motha out? I can't remember...

The work great as extra tiw down points. [And bottle openers]

[MR 325]

Yeah... I think it needs a drop and some factory BBS wheels!!!

Later on when I have some money to spend I want to do the Konig "Remember" 16x7 BBS RS replicas in silver with a polished lip for the car and trailer. That would be perfect.

[MR 325]

You should have tried to wired in the lights. Now that would have been a sight. Great job on the conversion.

The tail lights are fully functional.

[MR 325]

Nicely done.

How much does it weigh? Any tracking issues?

I do not know how much it weighs but I really would like to find out!

No tracking issues at all. This thing rolls perfectly! It doesn't bounce around or any of that crap like a lot of smaller trailers do.

There is a plan to make a hinged lid for the spare tire well.

There's still a few things left to do. Adjust the bumper, put the ends on it, paint the hubcaps, etc. I think we are going to paint the hoise black aswell.

The car has the rear diving board bumper because the tow hitch I have partially mounts to it. I know the Euro bumper looks better but function over form.

Nope, it is not actually attached at all in that picture. You're 100% right though, I have seen pictures of Euro cars with hitches. Maybe later on I will look in to that but for now this works for me.

The trailer does not have a differential. The main boom actually runs all the way back through the subframe and is welded there and supported in many places. We went ahead and seperated the axles and just put the end back in there to hold the hub together of course. Worked out well.

[Mthrillah]

Very creative. Nice job !

[Wylie coyote231]

what is this trailer ment to carry? any thing in specific?

[dynamik]
