Firstly id like to say hello to everyone on here.
Ive learnt my lesson and sold my 200sx and got myself a BM.

I started life out as a Jap lover and bought myself a GTI-R (was fun until gearbox No.4) then onto a S13 200sx.

After chatting to some friends and looking at their cars, I fell in love with Beemers.
So i took my time and finally purchased a 1988 E30 320i in black.
Its still as though it rolled out of the factory and has been looked after extensively.

So as me being me, I want to change that.
All im looking at doing to it, was lowering it, nice dished rims and tints, so i guess Euro really.

one question, will M3 suspension fit on a standard 320i, as i have a mate that has got a full set up spare, as id guess its a massive improvement on standard

many thanks

Tony

you can indeed swop the e30 m3 setup accross to your narrow bodied shell, you'll need all of it though , will tighten up the handling but still not be as nimble as the M car due to the S l o w steering we're blighted with

5x120 PCD will certainly open up your wheel options dude.

welcome too BTW

we're all nuttahs, you realise that though right ? :lol:
