just picked up my first 325i sport. anybody got any ideas of some suttle mods i wanna keep it as standard as possible. its been lowered and had a vader interior put in. i have a bit of work to do on it i.e get the front bumper and rear spoiler resprayed and sort out a little bit of bubble rust on the rear arches. other than that it is pretty sweet. everything is working perfect on the inside and there is no cracks in the dash!
any suggestions on alloys? not to sure about alpina's may go with some bbs? just thought id put it on here to get some feedback from other e30 owners!!

I'm not a fan of that rear spoiler.

refurb the wheels you have and shine them up nice.

replace the black grill for a chrome one.

Job done, nice looking car.

First thing you need to do is ditch that interior, it will make you a laughing stock. Send it to me and I'll dispose of it.

Nice.

keep wheels as they are, best ones imo.

Keep everything as it is, just maybe take off the m badges and get grill back to silver, but thats what i would do , depends on how you like it.

looks pretty nice as is, but if it was me, then i would get a chrome grille, lose the m badges (although i beleive some sports had them from factory).............if you did that, then it would look like my car so i would say that wouldn't i :mad:

one thing i'm missing is a top tint widscreen which i think looks better than the clear...it's on my "to do" list

seems like you've already got the original tailpipe trims which look tidy

already checked for rust, bought from a mate of mine and we both examined it when he first got it 6 months ago, alls good under the kit, slight rust in the boot but nothing to bad and also the rear arches have a bit on but can be sorted!

i think im going to keep the grill black, makes the front look a bit more aggresive!!

the guy my mate orginally bought the car from said that the m badges were on their from factory.
but who knows!! i think im going to keep them on there.

pukar if thats your e30 it looks like its just been rolled off the production line!! fair play mate

nice colour, best colour for an e30 imo, i would loose the interior and get some proper sports seats and the m badge at the rear, the black kidney grill does give it abit more of a aggressive look i agree.
