My mates E30 325 project

[_Tom]

I wish i had pictures from when he got it but it was a wreck and completely standard. With us all chipping in we have managed to get it to this in around a month. Its had a full respray, engine rebuild and lots of goodies fitted. Still there's lots to come -

Ze engine bay -

How its currently looking -

 

[Budgie]

WANT!

Not a huge fan of the wheels, but I love it.

Whats with the playing cars on the roof

 

[_Tom]

Its a wrap..doesnt look good in the pics but looks good in the metal. Its to have a Casino theme. Again, sounds gash but i really think it'll look good. Tbh the wheels were cheap but his main plan is to get the body and interior up to spec. He's also done cool mods like plastic weld the front bumper indicators out and relocate them into the headlights..

 

[Budgie]

That's properly cool. How much does it owe you guys, out of interest?

 

[-J-]

Love it (Not sure on the red on the wheels) Always had a soft spot for E30 Tourings

 

[Poopensharten]

Is that a can on the engine bay???

 

[_Tom]

Yeah thats a 1/4 of a monster can over the oil cap..haha

Not a massive ammount. My mates dad owns a body shop so just cost of the materials there. i have a mate who is a mechanical geneus who did that labour free and just parts. Another mate did the wrap for free. The wheels, coileys were cheap as his bro in law owns a alloy place called projeX. So all in all not much! lol

 

[Triki]

Ditch the Red centre caps. That will make the wheels look a million times better.

 

[chrispy.clio]

Haha, love that.

Not sure about the red bit on the wheels as it looks out of place

 

[Christopher]

Love that!

 

[DaveDreads]

Love it, when I turn the 172 into a track car i'm having one of these as my daily driver.
Don't like the wrap though, but then it's not my car.

 

[_Tom]

It looks much better in the metal. Its dropped more now and has a camber kit en route so that should be cool. All the arches are rolled now so..

Oh and the engine bay is cleaner than in the pic. That was pre respray..

 

[VeinAST]

Very nice mate Style 5s?

 

[Winston]

Dope!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bluebeard]

Red centre caps look daft, but other than that its very nice!!

Theres a big Rasta that drives 330 converted E30 325 around bristol. I always see him around hotwells.

 

[Matt Cup]

Love E30 Tourings, and that one looks spot on! (Apart from the centre caps)

How has he incorporated the indicators into the headlights?

What he said! But I dont mind the centre caps, could take them or leave them tbh. Thought it was gonna be red oneside and blue the other, motorsport stylie

 

[_Tom]

Not seen the Rasta in hotwells dan..they do look like they should ganja smoke bellowing out the windows..lol

If you look at the headlights the outers have little smiles cut into them. He's basically cut a section out and used the orginal indicator lense from the front bumper, cut that into shape and relocted all to there. Looks oem and just passed a mot.

 

[Jason_E]

Have been looking at 316 Tourings for myself recently

Thats gorgeous!

 

[Millen]

Damn thats nice, I'm really getting an urge for a BMW at the moment! Keep this thread going mate that looks really nice so far...

 

[hughesclio]

my first bmw was a 325i touring and never looked back since
a timeless classic that will always look good
