E30 M50'd Tourer

[GemE30]

Bought the tourer back in June as my daily shed (Vento) broke yet again but that's been scrapped now

Thing's I've Done:

Change the wheels (3 Sets Later I'm finally happyish )
Engine conversion
Tint the windows
Spray the Grille
Remove the light washer jets
Leather Interior
Splitter
Strut Brace
Darker front tints

Thing's to do for next year:

9js all round
Rear windows going Electric
Electric fan sorted with a proper switch
Refit air duct
Splitter
Few other bits need sorting too.

Anyway, this is how I bought her

Looks good, properly 'murdered'

[Falkster]

Looks good - brows, rear lights and flaps need to go FTW

[andrew320i]

Nice looking touring, but flaps & rear lights have got to go!

[dougall]

Nice. Is it 60mm lower and are they 17”a wheels? Agree with you guys on the light but I like the flaps and I’m sorry to say it but I also like the eye brows. Cool car

[Sanchez]

Flaps will work with smoked headlights and black grill.

Thats if you like the black look.

Defo agree on the rear lights black bin bag for them!!!

[gra325i]

nice touring..

im not bothered how "gay" you lot think the rear lights are so i,ll take them off your hands if you like, on an exchange + cash basis for either mint standard rears or home tinted standards

let me know if you are interested

[andrew320i]

I’m sorry to say it but I also like the eye brows. Cool car

Don't be sorry, light brows look great on the E30!

[zaust]

I’m sorry to say it but I also like the eye brows. Cool car

Don't be sorry, light brows look great on the E30!

Agreed there fella. Love my eyebrows on my e30's too.

Nice black on black. Now a bit blacker. Dark headlights, dark indicators, and all black rear lights.
Mudflaps a fat + I like 'em!

[GemE30]

Thanks, I mentioned yesterday that I wanted smoked indicators, got a few bits to sort out otherwise it's in great condition.

The seats are pretty bad so want to change them as well

[Bulletje]

Home made black headlights. Only a bit of work and not the hella price!

I made mine myself. Only the cross in the high beam light are a real b*tch to fit.

[gra325i]

i do, as it happens...

standard..




smoked..

[GemE30]

Cheers, Will let you know later

[ImysE30]

Nice touring, looks a bit mad max style

I'm sure i saw this advertised on eBay not long ago, from Swad IIRC?

[GemE30]

Yeah that's the one

[SLIMADI]

As i said on UK Modified your touring looks sweet well something like that

[GemE30]

Thanks

[RiCh_LV]

Nice touring m8 ;)
Just few things missing to be perfect front Mtech II spoiler and rear roof spoiler.

[GemE30]

Hmm, they don't look too bad.

Money's abit of an issue atm unfortunately so need to pay off some debts before I consider buying anything else.

[GemE30]

So, I've decided to keep the rear lights, we're going to fully tint them.. Fixed the running problem, and now need to change my rear mounts as they rattle like mad, Also taking off the light wipers at some point and need to sort my rear washer out as you turn it on, and it doesn't squirt.

Here's a new pic of it atm (Will upload some more tonight)

[GemE30]

New leather interior



New wheels ;)

[GemE30]

New pics of my shed with my mates (monster truck) touring

Been looking for somewhere for ages with graffiti and finally found some.. along with 2 coppers asking what we doing, shortly before asking if she could pose on my bonnet. Err no.


Finally got round to changing my Alpina badges for BMW ones.

[schnaarf]

Those BBS look way better - good work. iS splitter and rear lights and you're there!

[initial_g]

Looks well those bbs are begging to go black and itneeds light brows bk on

[GemE30]

We're gonna get a bent BBS off a mate and do a tester on colours.

There either going black or white, I'm feeling white more for some reason.

I've got a splitter, just waiting on fella to fix it up abit as Gaynor had multi coloured cable tied it up

[GemE30]

Now for some trippy stuff..

Car or water reflection?

[schnaarf]

Now that is a quality picture. Where was it taken?

[GemE30]

Somewhere in Nottinghamshire, I'm not exactly sure where it is

[ImysE30]

Slightly O/T Gem but do you still want the indicators?

[GemE30]

Few with mates cars (Havent really done much recently, haven't had the chance





Started working on the car last night about 7 and the 2.5 was in mine by 2.30am, (I didn't get many pics as I was knackered but those I did are camera phone pics so apologies.

The 2L

Sparky Looking Sorry For Herself

& the work begins..I didn't get pics of the 2.5 being taken out but it took 2 and half ish hours
Because of this, they decided to take out the 2L and fit the 2.5 as well



Engine out

Now what?


2.5 24v :wub:


And that's it so far.. tonight they've got the wiring, piping, radiator & exhaust to sort out.

[GemE30]

Now for some better pics




M50 & Aluline Cups (The wheels are for sale)

Pretty Engine :love:





aaaaand we are up and running








And she passed her MOT

Day 2 of 24v conversion and it runs and drives fired second time sounds awesome with no headers.. John drove it yesterday and said it's a bit of a handful as he hasn't fitted the brake servo yet, just exhaust /servo /an new rims to do. Yay!

& looking like a monster truck :fpalm:


Bonnet bra came today
