Brockdixon 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2009 Hello there BMW Fans! My names Brock & i've recently bought my 2nd car (Bmw E30 320i 1989). This is not the best looking e30 in the world but it's mine , It was a great buy to! only $1000 the only thing wrong with it is the alternator needs servicing (still need to do that) & the front shocks are completly stuffed (purchased some new ones), one door is fully stuffed (someones backed into it, got most of the dent out possible with a hammer and a piece of wood ). What i want to do: 1. Buy a new drivers door. 2. purchase some 17" wheels (not sure what yet). 3. Buy some "low" springs 25-35mm drop. 4. Buy a M-Tech ii bodykit. 5. full body paint Gloss Black or FireEngine Red. Well heres my old girl: http://img6.imageshack.us/slideshow/webpla...id=96490491.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 Hello Brocky... Glad to have you about on the forum... I'd hazard a word of caution to mod's on your car at your age... only for the insurance hike your no doubt looking at / potentially not getting insurance... What i want to do: 1. Buy a new drivers door. 2. purchase some 17" wheels (not sure what yet). 3. Buy some "low" springs 25-35mm drop. 4. Buy a M-Tech ii bodykit. 5. full body paint Gloss Black or FireEngine Red. I'd check with your insurance company about lowering and increasing wheel size.... not sure if you have to mention you have add'd a factory bodykit to your insurance or not... car looks in good condition tho man...

Brockdixon 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 Welcome dude. Are those genuine hella crosshair headlights or no? Not too sure what your saying there, but everything on the car is factory (No mods what so ever) only thing i'd concider a mod would be the sound system lol. Ps. is that a good thing or what?

Welcome to Bimmersport Put where you're from in your profile too, As I may have an alternator that works good for sale soon. Thanks mate, But if it costs anymore than $25.00 theres no real point i can do a full service on mine for $30 or get someone to do it with parts for $70. Thanks mate!

QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your purchase! Ellipsoids are a type of headlight found on Facelift e30's such as yours. They are the later type of headlight, and use a projection system. "Smoking" is a method of darkening, part of or the entire headlight for nothing but aesthetics, nothing wrong with it, I personally like the look. They are not factory however. You can purchase them direct from Hella, or there are several DIY versions around also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
