I chose the E30 because growing up as a kid in Germany it was my dream car. I still think it is the best looking model that BMW has produced ever. Here are some pictures of the project, keep in mind that i only paid $650 for it and it runs. In these pictures I have already stripped a lot of panels/molding/lights etc for paint. Slight of change of plans though as I will reassemble the car until Mid December when it will be getting painted.
It will be getting painted alpine white or black.
Plans for the Car :
New Suspension- Lowering
New Wheels - Picked up a set of mint te37s for it
Paint (Alpine White or Schwartz Black not sure yet)
885 head to make the motor a 2.7i (High revving 2.7L I6)
Turbocharger setup
CHANGE OF PLANS
Bought a 95 M3 Parts Car with a S50 in it.
I will be swapping the motor/tranny/steering rack into the e30

Here are some of my Dad's 91 318i that we have done a whole lot of work on already. All it really needs is the hood repainted.

Dad's Car-
Almost everything on the car is functional and working and all maintenance is done including all new gaskets in the motor. Mine is being built for performance while his is more of a nice to look at cruiser.
I have cleaned much of the car up including the bay. I will get pictures of how it sits now when I get a chance.
Here are the wheels I will be running on the E30. Only flaw is that the stickers are peeling. There is literally no rash on the wheels. 17x7.5 offset 40. I will probably run 15-20 mm spacers. I'll see after I test fit them. I won't be going for slammed, the gap will be similar to my Eclipse.
