After the wheels are on and the paintwork is done I will see about Bilsteins and H&R for an inch drop. Also possibly a chip from TMS. Nothing major a few tweaks here and there to amke it mine and leave the rest the way BMW dreamed it up.

Thanks guys heres a couple updates, the car has been in paint for almost a month getting a new windsheild cowl installed and the front bumper, rear spoiler and and small spot of rust on the rear drivers fender repaired. In the meantime parts have been piling up waiting for the car to come back so I can get busy in the garage.












Sad car is sad

That car is downright amazing, I love the E30 M3's. One of our customer's has an E30 with 40k miles on it in excellent condition that I drove and it felt like a little go cart. Wait until you start driving it around and see how much attention it gets. Can't wait to see more pictures.

Not really changing anything but some trim and all original parts will be rretained for easy swapping back in. Even the stereo was purchased with a no modding install in mind.
