Clean & Low 320i
Posted: Sun May 23, 2010 1:08 am
Well I am in the USAF and am by no means new to E30's, I had Lapisblau 325e that I had two years ago and was slowly building into a drift/autocross car. Had wheels, suspension, and a M50 swap. Well the car caught fire when my shop burned down and isnt nothing anymore. So now the recap is gone I'll start with the little story of how I got this car.
So while I was in afghan I was constantly looking for another E30. I searched high and low and every website the UK had to offer. After several months of looking and passing up some of the most amazing deals in hopes to get something Ive been looking for I finally found what I wanted. The only problem was that I still had a little over a month left in afghan and no one to get the car. It was priced so low that I knew it would sell quick. I went to bed every night trying to plan how I could get this car. So I finally get back just one week ago and the guy still had her for sale so I went and picked it up within 24 hours of me getting home. Enough talking, more pictures.
This is the car 10 minutes after the purchase. Paid $9.34 for a gallon of gas compared to what I usually pay. (.83 cents american per litre)
Rare Glass sunroof from the dealer.
Simple and clean interior.
Bimmer Club, one day ill make the hour drive up to silverstone to see what its all about.
I then bought some items for it.
Mtech1 Bumper
Mtech1 Skirts
Mtech1 spoiler
Mtech1 Rear Apron
Mtech1 steering wheel
I then installed coilovers
Coilovers doing work.
I then drove down to London and got my wheels. I polished one and decided Id just wait for winter to come to polish them, so I painted them for now.
Here it is now, 2 weeks after buying it. I had to cut 1.5" off the front mudflap so I wasnt a bulldozer to every rock.
This is low as the England roads will let me. If I didnt live on such bad roads it would go lower.
Future plans:
318is Interior
&
Engine Swap
