Well this is my newly purchased E30 320i SE. I know its not what you call OEM but to me its all about personal preferance.

It does need a few things but over time it will have bits carried out to make it unique

The only bit of the car i dont like is the interior so im on the lookout.

I'm planning to paint my track car this kind of black, what kind of paint did you use and how much prep did you undertake ?

Nice work by the way. :D

loving the matte black! i think you should keep the clear glass. will be a bit too much black. maybe paint the rocker cover and intake manifold matte black. engine bay has gotta match :cool:

A mate of mine has sprayed his E36 tourer satin black using rattle cans and it looks bloody good! Satin black & matt black is a really easy colour to do a DIY respray! Just make sure you give it a good wet&dry rub down and do a good job with the primer! 8) Here's a pic -

I know a lot of people don't like Momo Arrow's on E30's but I think they suit the shape,
