The outcome of my meeting- E30 M3 M30 Turbo Cabby rep

[johnt0709]

Imy only one way to go.........and this is it

[ImysE30]

Funnily enough, that is my desktop screen pic at the moment, inspires me everytime i see it

Mine will look similar to that, just lower and wider wheels

[Mayze]

that was the picture I was thinking of when I said white m3's look the dogs.

[johnt0709]

Imy IMO that looks perfect. Wouldn't go lower or with wider wheels unless your going for a modified look?

[ImysE30]

They certainly do look awesome, can't wait to finish and drive mine.

300bhp with the wind blowing through ya hair

Being me, it has to be modified in some way, nothing silly but just the personal touch.

I'm hoping to stretch my budget to fit some coilovers to go lower properly but will see. Wheels wise, looking at getting at least 9J on the rear and probably 8J on the front.

Low and wide

[kingcruizer]

looking good imy. all the hard work is worth it in the end. thats what i keep telling myself anyway. keep the updates rolling in.

[leeparkes]

What wheels are you going for? BBS or something different.

These guys are not far from me and didnt bootyman say he could get discount, plus you can go as wide as you want.

Dont go final reveal, progress pics are better

Oh and keep some loot back from your budget as you will need it when your doing about 10mpg

Thanks Clive, loving your project too

Lee - Not sure on the wheels yet, Style 5's or some BBS RS17 or maybe some custom made one's from Image if i have enough left over

I'm not looking forward to the MPG but i'm not bothered, i'll only be driving it on the good weekends anyway

8mpg FTW!!

[beemerbird]

Woo, hoo, Imy. Looks like a very promising project. Congratulations and good luck with it.

I LOVE a bit of 'doubter' bashing

[ImysE30]

Cheers Fi

I can't talk too soon

Let's hope the weather is nice for the weekend

[magpie]

looking forward to having a l@@K in sept

[ImysE30]

Hopefully it will be ready by then

[bmw-mad]

Hopefully it will be ready by then

pull your finger out and complete it how far you got with it anyhow

Been away on holiday so not touched it in a week. Just got the brakes lines to fit (one's in the bay), need to get new ones, fit ABS, dashboard and then ready for engine/gearbox etc.

I'm hoping to get it in for engine fitting by Saturday

Will put some up on Saturday just before it hopefully goes in for the last stage

Then just need some wheels and Vader interior to find

vadar interior aye guess what i have and still a few sets of split rims

[ImysE30]

Is there anything you don't have

I noticed it on PistonHeads

Think i'm going with toplines for this one

I'd keep some of your budget in the kitty for a new turbo. XS power turbos are infamously wank. It's testament to the spectacular unreliability of this particular engine that the turbo has lasted as long as it has.

On the plus side, the car was properly fast.

The guy who is fitting my engine said the same thing, will see how much longer it can last

He's got some spare Jap Turbo's available and a couple of Holset's too i think

[bmw-mad]

guess what?

I have a set of 17" and 18" toplines available too

[Rav335uk]

Who's fitting the engine?? A zoner from Derby

[Rav335uk]

Toplines on an M3 cab????
Don't do it, it won't look right

You should open up ya own shop with the amount of stuff you've got

[ImysE30]

Nah not a Zoner, a good friend of my dad's

Oh, and toplines are way cool on a E30

Nah 18's will be too big, 17" max

I may have a set lined up but i'm interested (as always ) if the 17's are 8.5J and 10J depending on price

The 17's are NOT staggered. personaly i dont think toplines are the best wheel for a bmw. it would have to be some style 5's or hartges split rims on your car. I only keep toplines for council types lol

Yes on an E30, not M3 lookalikey

[e30topless]

M3 rep , M30 donk, vadars and toplines= 24 carat solid gold major fail

[Royalratch]

This is shaping up to be a Council fest par excellénce.

You're young, get it out your system I guess and you'll soon come back to your senses.

[ImysE30]

Well you only live once At least it should stand out

I can always change the wheels if i don't like them

[bedumon]

I'm loving the idea of "low and wide" E30 M3 cab. Was planning to do this myself in the near future. But I definitely would give the toplines a miss.

I would personally go for some ACS Type I Splities. Would look awesome on a low cab with huge poke and stretched rubber.

[ImysE30]

What about Borbet B's then?

8.5J and 10J
