How badass. Euro rules!

[hammoj28]

Just thought id post this up. Was looking through a thread on bimmer forums about hot e30's and came across these two. How naughty do they look! Im gonna go and spray my other kidney grille now and try and make some smoked hella's.lol. Also notice the guy staring at them.

Just makes me realise why i love e30's so much. Cos they RULE!

Why doesn't my car look like that? :/

(because I'm a lazy ass probably )

[hammoj28]

Mine doesn't look like that cos it ain't slammed with dished wheels and smoked front end.....and im lazy with no money.lol.

[alan325i]

Would be a nightmare being that low with all the speed humps in the UK but they do look A1

[gilb]

my grills satin black does look alot diffrent im biddin on some crystal lights now so i fink the insides of them will be done now to

[hammoj28]

Yeah i had my grille painted on my white car but wasn't sure about it on the black o. Will try it as i have and extra grille.

[panesar_e30]

fuck the spee humps!!!!!!!! just rive over them at an angle

[hammoj28]

Hehe, yeah, my mate has a mini thats so low to the ground it unbelievable and it gets over most speed bumps.

[bigpimpin]

He He,
Remember James, I've got a spare set of BBS RC 090s....all you'd need is M3 suspension and you'd be there !

[hammoj28]

Hehe, i would if i could. Wouldn't only be m3 suspension id need either. Would need a lot of cash!lol

[hairypete]

i know this sounds stupid but how the hell do they get those fekkin gorgeous rims up under the arches that far, have them sticking out that far and not fekkin rub!!!! i love that squatted down over fat arsed tyres look, but every car i have ever slammed has just ended up sat ON the tyres!

i mean im not stupid, i know stiffer suspension must be in there, but it must be solid else the back arches would be creased at the first pebble under the wheel! i dont know, just jelous i guess!

and anyways, i will hae me some of those damn smoked front lights, when i get me a spare weekend to waste! lol, damn they do look good!

nice motors, cheers for sharin those matey... back to the drawing board with mine again!!!!

[Bob_S]

Here's my car at the beginning of aug. just made the outers smoked

[hairypete]

dude that cat is beginning to bother me!

[Bob_S]

well rape it then ;) saves getting rsi in your wrist ;)

[bmwe30mtech]

Lovely looking. I might try a black front grill now!

[kirils]

ze Germans are crazy, mine is the same color burgundrot mettalic, but looks nothing like the one on the pic

[e36boy]

Euro look kicks ass, Ze Germans have got it well sorted when it comes to styling. Im into Vee dubs to and as you will all know, They do some awesome looking golfs etc.

[d6dph]

Just not practical in this country! I'd love to do mine like that but wouldnt be able to use it.

[Morat]

OK, first up - I really don't do the slammed look at all. But..this one

yes, right there
HOLD IT THATS PERFECT.
Sold to the fat bloke with the touring!

[hammoj28]

Hehe, yeah thats a very nice e30. Had it on bottletops for a while with that ride height and it was looooow!

[stuartgallafant]

they look fucking naughty!! gorgeous gorgeous examples!!!

[Jhonno]

That silver one with the throwing star reps belongs to a guy called TJ in the states.. New wheels and iS lip on it now..

[Cotty]

I think they are on a slight slope so they look lower than if they were on level ground

Im getting there, just need a slope to reverse up

[Taz]

hi:

wat size rims and tyres are on those euro cars?? also how many mm do you think they they are slammed??

anyone? know

[mrLEE30]

they definately look lower due to the angle of the cars and camber of the road, and here you tend to go for 16inch rims, these lads will be on a 60 drop with 14inch and low profile.

take a picture of your own car on grass and you will get a similar effect,

thats not to say that i dont like em, they are sweet

mrlee

[Taz]

those rims look too big to be 14"!

[hammoj28]

Nah they are 16" prob 9"wide at the back and 8.5 or summat at the front.

[dobbie82]

I love those wheels!! shame i'd probably need a mortgage to buy them!

[mudskipper]

phat, super phat!
i love the euro look.

did anyone notice the Reg Plates on either of them? even sweeter

[steerfromtherear]

They are more than likely 16's imo on both those cars.
I would guess they are both about -60 to -80mm lowered.

Plenty of uk e30's are -60 on 15's without major headaches that pic just shows them on the transition between two angles so it looks lower.

They look shit hot and some fat euro wheels will end up on a bm of mine one day

[mrLEE30]

stand corrected,, i measured the ratio of rim height to tech 2 lower valance height and came with a ratio of 2.08:1, then measured my car,s 16inch trims to my tech2 and get 2.04:1, so we can deduce that they are on 16inch rims, and that is cetainly a low low car!!!

mrlee

[bootyman]

Well why run 9" rims at the rear when you can run 11's like me

I put even the Euro boy's to shame with 1's rear and 10's front and the Rieger has 12's rear and 10's front

[steerfromtherear]

Ah yeah but yours has extended arches and the rieger has mahoosive arches.

As much as I like your motorsport, and marvel at the rieger, imho euro look is all about widest wheels possible, whilst retaining the original look of the arches/car.

Obviously arches are rolled and flared but as soon as you start adding extra width I don't think it qualifies as euro. Just imo obviously lol

[ChizFab]

i really do love the euro look, wide n low just works sooooooo well!!!!!!!!

must rub like foooooook!!!!

[hammoj28]

Yep they must rub like hell but it would be worth it.lol.

Also thought this was well tidy! Not so euro but cool. Shows how good the e30 looks compared with the e36 and e46.



And iv just chose my faves from the threads. Sorry bout the amount of pics.




And is it just me or does this look like something bootyman would do to an M3?
