Rowan's E30 Vert aka The Blueprincess

Recommended Posts

I'm in the process of rebuilding some 16x9 & 16x10 BBS RS so will post new photos when complete. Im still deciding on colour. Either staying with gold or going with a cream/beige, white, or metallic grey pearl like my old set.

Very nice cabriolet, Rowan.

They say the E30 cab is one of the emerging BMW investment classics of the future.

I'm not a mods man myself, but to each his own.

Superb photography by the way, and that's a pretty tidy looking E21 lurking in the background too.

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I definitely don't plan on letting it go anytime soon. Its one of those cars thats just not worth parting with. Even as I get older and grow out of the mods etc I can always put it back to stock and have a nice collectible. And the e21 is my mates. She's pretty tidy.

Thanks that would be good. I may or may not know of a vert that needs some inspiration :ph34r:

Yes Im OCD on the badge in general. You have it on there, may as well have it on there right!

I found this one lying around. I'll take one from the back tonight. This gives a better side shot though

Thanks. Will be doing satin black bolts all round. Easy to maintain, match the centre caps too.

What size lips??

Looking sick

Cheers. 3.5" lips on the rear. I think the fronts are 2".

Too much dish on the rear IMO, Compared to the front + Sticking out too much.

Looks alot better though, Can't beat an e30 on RS'

agree, are the barrels bigger on the fronts? The rear dish seems a lot more that 1 inch compared to the fronts..

(not saying it's too much, but the front lips need to be larger to compensate)

edit #2: where did you get your lips from? I'm going to buy some 2.5s in the future...
