Igorionia's BMW e30 325i *rebuilding rear suspension*

[Igorionia]

yep, we started new Repairing/Rebuilding mission
took off full rear suspension. Need to replace some parts
+ etc etc etc... :roll:

[ARMAN]

those wheels look kickass dude
would love to have 17's myself but will definitely need bigger engine as M40 will have troubles to get the car moving

[Igorionia]

4th set of BBS RS in collection of me and my friend
I got 2 and he got 2
R15x7 4wheels
R16x8 2wheels R16x9 2wheels

friends:
R17x8 4wheels i quess
and these one
R16x8 2wheels and (!) R16x10 2wheels

+ we have 10 Alpina wheels
i got R17x10 set of AZEV's
Who's the Wheel WHORE there ?

Looks Like it would be fun to take the photoshoot of all these wheels together

PS - no new stuff happend with my e30
have no passion for rebuilding suspension
no money
no time
+ I got girlfriend ops: And I'm so happy with her!

Seems like you scrounged up a nice pile of wheels for your E30!

I don't want to speculate much.. but within a few months I may the be a proud owner of a black '87 325is with bilsteins shocks, h & r shocks and borla exhaust

[Igorionia]

the R16 RS not for e30
they are 5x120 looks like more for e34
I'd like to have e34 touring 525tds
for everyday
R16x8/9 will fit perfectly

BTW those 16x10 for e34 too. They are 5x120

but it's not hard to fit those wheels ant on e30
but...

we will see


dutchmasterflex - e30 nice car. Only advice I will give. Try to find NOT rusted one.

[Igorionia]

+1
same here

I just don't want to invest $$$ in rusted car

e30 is nice. but it's 20 year old car!!!
Fun to drive. But...

dont even know what should I do?
sell it!
repair suspension and "drift till it die"
or....
I don't know

[dutchmasterflex]

oh yea, forgot to mention it's a southern car, with ZERO rust

When I was on the look out, rust was the main thing I was told to look for. The guy who found the E30 I mentioned builds BMW track cars and has made tons of money rebuilding rusted E30s He claims this 325is has no rust.

Seems the perfect E30 has finally come my way.. the seller is also installing a new racing seat with the sale.

lovely car, I suggest removing the chrome shaowline and the sideskirts.

[Igorionia]

decide to post some pix for inspire myself
and for you guys to not forget my 325i

plans for the future.

-shadowline
-side skirts
-fog lights
-to repaint chrom grill into black

and maybe m50b25 swap. Drove few days ago e30 touring with m50b25. 200hp N/A engine. Damn I like it! Plus it's more economical, new, more torque and HP. And it's not so expensive.

local e34 535 M-optik

[Igorionia]

working on my e30
and... look what i found under the skirts (wanted to take them off! not anymore!)



So I know that MIHALS, ARMAN, Dani's bro got Chromed Grills
I'm not a fan of them. If you'll decide to paint em black. Maybe it will help you.
Looks Like i got some Sweden or I don't know what kind of Grill but it's without holes in it. Plus some Christmas LED's I have no idea who did it!
So plans was to delete chrome. Make holes in grill and paint everything black. No finished pix, sorry guys. But i'll post em when i'll finish.



My advise. take the chrome part from the grill OFF! and use steel knife!
You can actually and paint em without takin off the crome. But paint holds VERY bad!


replacin my old steering wheel with MOMO Corse. Like it very much!


and one more update! Finally i found fog lights!



still waiting for my new rear alluminium bishings
and no, i'm not goint to repair the body.. It's not worth of money and time.
Just'll take only technical part.
Will have some fun. and someday transfer all parts into new body.

THAT'S CAR FOR LEARNING! not my everydays or something
parts costs twise more that the car

[ARMAN]

wow this is worse that I havethose iX skirts was there for a reason

I wanted to paint black the grill and blacken front lamps but didnt get to it yetalso that will make me a police magnet

[dutchmasterflex]

Heheh, told you the side skirts looked good

I'll be looking for some replacement fog lights as well.

Just got an E-Mail I should have my 325is either by the end of this week or early next week. Cant wait!

[blinkmeat]

coming along Igorionia ... Now if only you can get DMF to stop hijacking your thread

[pilotvtm]

I respect your work.
In 2 or 3 days the papers for my Ford Mondeo (1996,16v,1.8l,115hp) will be ready..
as soon as i will make some cash i'll start rebuilding it (paint,rusty parts,interior...etc)
