The red bmw e30 coupe

Right well here's my e30 coupe i got off a good mate of mine, J.A. Kelly on here.

I bloody love the thing even though i broke it a little while ago (playing too much i broke the diff)

Its going to get a 3.5 12v out of the 535 sport next year and hopefully an LSD as im giving up with the welded diff... well maybe not but we will see welded diffs are fun.

Hopefully get the sport recaro interior on the go etc etc usual e30 nice bits really.

Its pretty mint inside and out all original dealer bits and bobs it has been well looked after but i want to get the 2 rear arches done as they are going like on most e30s, this one wasnt helped by a dodgy arch rolling attempt by somebody.

Wheels need to go in favour of some wide 16s probably some borbet A's but got a hankering for some BBS rims with gold centres.. Not sure yet.

Heres how it stands at the moment :







Heres roughly how i want it besides the wheels obviously

thats nice
have the wheels been re-drilled without the original holes being welded up or is it my dodgy eyesight?

Niiiish

I have a very big soft spot for e30 318is's

Lots and lots of fun and well built cars. nearly jealous.

No they are just crappy replicas with some dodgy pattern im guessing its 4x100 and 4x108 look dodgy as hell

:O! how dare you real BMWs have 6 cylinders Haha the 318is is very nice though and i would love one.

i really really wanted a e30 325is before i got my mk2 vr but they was jsut abit out my price range.

plans sound goood

Finally you put pics up!!!...now i don't have the car with the biggest arch gap

yeah they are silly money really for the few extra's they have...

Or in my case CSL

I do so like the e30 I had a run around estate a couple of years back it was faultless and when clean and polished looked like a gem, I'd have another one if one popped up.

The is's have lovely little quick racks on them too and with a little application of foot can be made to slide very progressively.
They are about as much fun as you could have without buying something that falls apart every five bloody minutes.


In that shade of red when they catch the sun they are just
be e ute a full..

I couldn't knock it if i wanted to.

Thanks dude , yeah they are so awesome to drive handle great and like you say they slide out so progressively and controlable compared to my sierra that just used to snap to full lock when you got sideways its heaven. I was amazed when i got it at how well built they are and how nicely they drive ive had an e36 and e46 admitedly they weren't 6 pots but they felt crap to drive compared to the e30.

multispoke borbets needed mr tiz

borbet B? they are nice but they are split rim money....

Looks lovely mate, cant wait to see the plans in action.

Nice car Borbet Bs would look the part though, just so expensive as you say.

what about m3 evo rims?

Nice car mate. Looks clean

Have seen a few of these with a v12 conversion

mental, bit too much weight up front for me though and i bet thats a hell of a job getting that in

yeah that may be so but it is offset with 300+ very easy brake at the rear !

haha yeah true but i bet its a hell of a mission getting them in and making exhausts etc.

ahh, dint know that tiz my bad.
what about a hub conversion or adapters though??

not a fan of adapters on a car i will push as hard as this one hub conversion could be done but with the wheel choice you have with 4x100 is plenty good enough i think, might put some rota grid drifts on it.... they would look pretty slick
