Absolutely bloody gorgeous mate, hard for me to say of course as those in the know will point out it doesnt have the required amount of doors i.e. 4................
However for a 2 door its still stunning, looking forward to seeing in the flesh on Sunday, any chance of a little trip out to help evaluate the 3.5

Perfect mate, no other word for it.
Only minor point and it is very minor...
I would take off the eyebrows, i dont like them at the best of times but the rest of the car is so tastefully done it's a shame.
But thats nick picking. The wheels, the stance, the paint, the engine, interior..the best of E30.

Looks great Lee - I liked it when I saw it at the Midlands meet - looks even better now with a 3.5 under the bonnet
e30topless said : Proper BMW's have 4 headlights, last of the run was the E30 and E34/E32 anything after that is just complete shite

Cheers for the comments guys!
The wheels are BBS Mahle's normaly found on E21's 15" x 7j,as rav said they are mainly on german ebay but they do crop up on uk ebay from time to time,centres are gunmetal with the dish polished,they were vile when i got them,black centres with badly painted silver lip(ive got a pic somewhere in an old phone,ill dig it out)ill also get close up pics of the wheels too as there seems a lot of interest,
I am considering losing the E30 badge on the back but cant decide whether to go debagded or 335i,or even 316 for some fun at the lights.
Ive got a spare set of grills up the shed so i might see if it suits without the brows,some say they make the e30 look sleepy but some say it gives a more aggresive look.ive never been without them so cant say what it would look like,we'll see.
As requested here's the pics of the engine,(the day i finished the swap)

for downbadging, anyone who knows bmw's enough to recognise a 316i badge as being a slow 4 pot will also know yours has too many tailpipes and has a 6 pot, just from the sound.
a 320 badge is where it's at
that'll upset a few folks

Remember seeing a E39 '520d' with suspicious looking quad tailpipes a few years back!!!
Understated BMW = Pure class
Stunning E30 btw.

clean engine bay. just out of interest what washer bottle did you use? i ended up with a nissan micra one fitted on the other side of the bay, yours looks a much better fit though.
i would leave it with no badge or 335i. the 316 badge will only work if the car looks like shit, yours doesnt.
