E30 Zone

Hi

Here is my latest BMW, i have mostly owned E36's but have previously owned an E30 318is (last year) while i searched for my E36 328i Sport.

I missed the 318is when i sold it so have just purchased this. The pics are how it looked when i bought it and it is in mint condition.

So far i have removed the M badge and bouhght an M tech 2 steering wheel. Next i am looking to lower it slightly so any recommendations on some good springs would be great.

How about a full mtech1 kit? Seeing as you have the rear skirt already it would be rude not too

Noice motor,

Welcome to the zone fella.

i also agree it needs a tech 1 kit and some BBS Prehaps

looks very tidy indeed, i quite like the wheels as well.

I,ve had my cab since november,and the only thing i didn,t like was the handling.
So after much research i came to the decision to go for a set of Toyo's Proxis,which helped alot as the old tyres were nearly illegal.
My main idea was to keep the ride comfort the same,and improve the handling.
My first suspension upgrade was to fit a set of Eibach ARB's,the front bar is set up for hard,and the rear bar,soft.This set up seems a nice compromise.
Being a cab,i didn,t want to make the shake and scuttle any worse,so i,ve opted for a set of standard Boge shocks,with Boge -25mm drop springs.
I,m getting the shocks and springs fitted next week.
So once the suspension settles,hopefully i,ll have a sorted cab.
In brief
Good Tyres
Eibach Anti Roll Bar Kit (Zone Shop)
Standard Boge Shocks (Motorforce)
-25mm Boge Springs (Motorforce)

Nice car would look even better with a complete tech 1 Kit

Nice cabby - welcome to the zone mate. What engine is it - with twin pipes I'm assuming its a 6-pot ?

I have been asking around about decent lowering springs recently - the general consensus seems to be that Eibach springs with Bilstein shocks is a good setup.

Post some more pics when you have them - another vote here for the rest of the Tech1 kit too.

Nice looking car , has potential i agree with your bbs idea the current wheels look wrong . Iv just purchased a cab today , 1987 325 but it needs an engine and some tastefull additions my project for the summer .

Nice chrome cabby dude, I like

I would look at a front tec1 valance too, cos ur sills r colour coded already the car would look alright without the tec 1 skirts

The car is a 325i, I was not sure about the wheels when i got the car but they are growing on me and are pretty much brand new so will stay for now. I will def look into the tech 1 kit though although i am not sure about the sideskirts of the tech 1. I would like some sideskirts though but am looking for an OEM look that just bulks out the sills a little bit as it looks like it is missing something at the min.
