i've finally got some half decent pictures, so this is my 318i (hopefully going to change soon with an S50 or S52 conversion winkeye ) this is all future things though.

i know my choice of rims is quite different to most of you guys on here, if i would replace i would get only a set of 17" bbs rs rims.
And i've been asked a few times, the bodykit is a BBS bodykit.

tell me what you think.

also do you reckon i should get some foggies or just leave them out?

ok cool, what model E30 is it?
rims and a lower stance improves the look dramatically, and the bodykit always helps, but you might want to save for that one as it's not cheap and you have to paint the kit at the same time, THERE IS NOTHING THAT LOOKS WORSE is when someone has gotten a bodykit and hasn't had the money to paint it. so make sure you have money to do both.
it just takes time to add the things that you like, be careful not to get carried away though with gourdy items that cheapens the look of the car. (some people would say my angel eyes are gourdy, but because BMW make them on their cars now, i can get away with it.) Ebay will be your best friend haha.

Lovely looking car and a couple of the pics REALLY stand out as faves- good job there. On a personal note could you not get spacers on the rears to step them out a bit- just looking a lil' skinny in the rear for my liking. Very nice looking car though- like the rims :D

Kool, yeah i do like your wheels. I don't have spacers myself as I run 9" rims on the back but any place that sells wheels would/should be able to supply spacers for you. Just needs them on the rear as the kit is quite wide and would look way tougher if the wheels filled the arches. You mite have to get the arches rolled though if you space out? Worth it though :D

Levie, that car is a credit to you. Great photos of a car that is obviously loved. Very nice work.

I've not seen many BBS bits on E30s here in Australia ~ I didn't think I would like the look too much ~ but it really sits well on your car. I like!

Keep up the good work, man.

I reckon you need something in those holes, not sure what though? At the mo they just look like holes don't they- how about turning them into brake cooling ducts or some other useful function seeing as you're doing track days? Could always find some fogs that fit into the smaller holes and run brake ducts in the larger holes? Just an idea- I'm sure there's people on here with much better ideas than me :D
