I was recently inspired to post this by the most heinous example of an e30 I had the misfortune of laying eyes on.

This is just my opinion on what I think most e30 enthusiasts would consider sacrilege, including myself.

I used to have a few of these modifications myself before I toned done and would like to know where you guys draw the line:

Excessive Body Kits
Image
Someone had to approve this design.

Fart Cans
Image

Neons (Interior and Exterior)
Image

Bad Boy Eyebrows
Image

JDM Spoilers
Image
Reserved for EVO's and STI's only!

Angel Eye Headlights
Image

New Car Bumpers
Image

Headlight Delete
Image

Modified Grills that just never come out right
Image

Saved The Best For Last

Rectangle Headlights
Image
Cannot be unseen

You have the right to do anything you want to your car. But please remember during you're excessive tuning, you're representing BMW owners and automotive enthusiasts.

Are you giving us a good name or a bad name?

So where do you guys draw the line? Upload your sacrilege too.

For quite a while, mudflaps were considered taboo on E30s, though I rather liked the proper BMW ones on my first E30, a 1984 Henna Red chromey 320i moredoor.

These non BMW ones, however, look pretty shite, as do the American 'diving board' bumpers:

Then, of course, there are the rare Alpenis ones:

Which don't look like they'd actually serve any real purpose...

Aside from the headlights, that last picture of the red chromie is epic! What bodykit is that?

Looks similar to the Zender kits of that time.

In certain countries in Europe if you didn't have rear mudflaps fitted then the car would fail the equivalent of our MOT test.

nowt wrong with bonnet vents if done properly.

Yes.

There's a guy with a set of E30s that look like a pack of Daleks on the loose, complete with the gold leader. They have blobs and knobs in odd colours.
