Alrite People!!

I drive a 4 door 3.20i - Sometimes i look at it and think it looks too long and i feel to stop modin as it will never look as good as a 2 door!! I know the chasse is technically the same length... but thats not always reassuring!!

This post is for all you peeps who luv ya 4 doors and feel to show em to support me in this trying time - Interested to see what you guys have done! Here's mine to kick off!

Not sure about the wiper mod. Fair play for doing something new but I can see them being a bit less effective in the rain for some reason?

Some paint on the bumpers and mirrors to make it look "spec'd up" would be a nice addiction maybe.

Bottletops really aren't that bad looking when clean. Just a shame about the size.

4 door rightness my man

Surely that's an estate, meaning it has 5 doors?

Its worth it in the end, 4 door e30's look very right in my eyes, although I am after a 2 door sister for this car!! First things I would do to your car are dechrome the window surrounds and colourcode the mirrors. Some 15" BBS slways look good I think. Would be nice with a Hartge body kit too!!!

I was waiting for someone to say that

And Steve you've been modding a 4-door for years! Get it finished!

I have a 5 door, but my love of 4doors is strong-so much more practical, yet still as much fun, and cheaper too

here's an idea of what yours will look like with

alpina's

smoked hellas

black grill

colour coded bumpers

looks like an Alpina space-sava wheel on the back

Stoney! luvly ride mate low low have you dropped her??

I haven't got a four door but this one looks dam cool! Nufink wrong with a four door if it looks like this!

completely agree geez!!!

320Touring - Damn Thats looks crazy!! Never considered the hellas before... looks sweet! your obviously a PS man after my own heart!!! Cheers mate top job!!!

When i got her she was v.plain didnt even have the bottletops!
Ive put in the smilies, headlight wipers, fogs
since this pic ive colour coded the wing mirrors!! after looking at stoneys ride i think i shud do the bumpers too.
I put in the rear view with map lights, ICE, just got some Alpinas FINALLY!!! (cheers Jamz) they go on soon as i can figure out how to avoid getting them stolen and the car by the locl chav brigade!!!!!!!

Keep the pics coming guys great thread !!!

Will look nice once you have those pinas on mate.

Transform the look completely I think. Good to meet you, although it was very brief on Saturday, sorry about the state of my hands! They got worse though.

She seemed to be hunting a little bit at idle I noticed when you were pulling away, so you might want to clean the idle air control valve or check for air leaks. I'm sure it'll be an easy fix.

this is what mine looked like about 2 years ago on pina's



change a lot since then

check out my 4 door auto 2.5. As u can see it's a minter

it's been tuned by Racing Dynamics and has full council scorpion, hear before u see exhaust. also 225/50/15 rear tyres too as i couldn't get the power down with the normal 205/55/15 tyres

They call it red flash on my estate

enjoy

Fabo - I think we might be related its like looking in the mirror
Nice pics mate!! She looks in good cond!

Hey Jon!! Nice to meet you too bruv! (took ages to get back that day due to accident!!) No worries about the hands how'd the turbo fitting go?? Thanks for the heads up on the idle it is giving me probs and on the odd occasion cuts out - Im new to the e30 so i'll get in the engine and find the bit you mentioned!! Much appreciated its so much help when someones about who knows there sh!t !!! Hopefully we'll meet again soon!

Will look nice once you have those pinas on mate.

Hope so cant wait to get some time to get it sorted!!!


Steve - thats nice bruv, a lil look at the future - But dont tease me mate! what does she look like now??

They call it red flash on my estate

Wow Steve thats different - but i like it!!!! I can just imagine the red flash going by - Great Nickname!!

Jay: There is no difference between a standard 325i engine and a motorsport or Mtech engine

Jay: There is no difference between a standard 325i engine and a motorsport or Mtech engine

Hmmm Cool - As you know i did not know that! ... live and learn... Ok so without doing my research (But i will)... whats the deal with motorsport? Is it just a brand, the racing division of BMW, I always assumed it was the highest spec engine available... In honesty i dont know the history, but knowledge is power, so - Do tell??

After that we can get back to 4 Doors!!

Motorsport is a limited edition cab

Mtechnic (sport) vehicles have factory fitted bodykit, sport gearbox, LSD, maplights, bbs alloys, straight exit exhaust, black headlining etc...

Dont get the two muddled up or the Motorsport Mob will hunt you down and shoot you

Thanks for the info mate! You have shed some light! - As for the Motorsport Mob I'm more worried about rather the scary dude in the Ski Mask!!!!!

The thing just below the red dipstick with the electric plug on it, take that off, and the two hoses and give it a good clean with carb cleaner or something of the like.

HTH

Jon
