What do you think?










































All opinions welcome.

Who cares about opinions when your car looks like that???

Enough said... Stunning

Mike

Looks very nice, any close ups on the wheels?

Lee

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

Stunning Lee, love it

More engine bay pic's please

thats the fookin nuts lee

them wheels are fookin awsome too, think i have found my perfect e30

Lee what can i say but


























































































FOOKING AWESOME MATE!!!!!!!

Stunning look!
more engine bay details?

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.

Just stunning, what wheels are they? looks like BBS with dish

looks lovely....

Lovely...

I think you should sell it to me

Beautiful!

Looks stunning.

Looks a seriously nice car and with the added bonus of a 3.5 under the bonnet,looks factory fresh.

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

I'm jelous, his engine bay looks better than mine

very nice, a credit to you

wow that is one looking car

come om dude what are those wheels???

do tell. they make a nice change from 15" bbs ( wait for it ).

looks pretty much perfect to me. just lose that e30 thing on the back.

The wheels are 15" Mahles iirc.Some on german fleebay

I really like it Especially the stance

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)

^^^ M30 porn

Lee, don't forget to put on a strut brace in the bay.
And leave the badge of it mate, i have, keeps them guessing

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

Genius... Go for it.

Remember seeing a E39 '520d' with suspicious looking quad tailpipes a few years back!!!

Understated BMW = Pure class

Stunning E30 btw.

Very nice looking car.

That engine bay is beautiful.

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.

Wow, wheels look lovely as well.

mate we salute you, top job!!!!!!!

Where were u today, didn't turn up to the meet????

^^^ What he said, i was looking forward to seeing it as well

I think quite a few people were wanting to see it.
