I would say swap but if theres a budget might be better going turbo. Cheaper to throw it in vs a new powertrain. You know you wanna make cool Bov noises at all the cheese festivals in Wisconsin. 😅
I'd sell it and start a new project. The E30 is a great car, but lets face it, you wish you bought the 2 door version which means you'll never truly love this car. Get out now and start a new project car.
@@xandres9451 You don't take the classic out by customising the car to your liking, the main thing remains unchainged, and that's it's look and what it represents in our minds.
I bought my e93 almost a year ago and dumped a bunch of money into it. First mod I ever did was remove turn signals. No added benefit but I didn’t need them.
I love that you're doing an E30 and that you're doing it the right way without hacking too much. Also +1 for doing a 4 door. That being said, what's your plan for the car? It seems that you're doing stacy stuff (bags and big wheels) but also track car stuff (fixed back seats, steering wheel, door cards) and I'm not sure what the purpose is. Either way, I love the videos, keep it up!
@@FitmentIndustries Ok! I would just suggest working on one thing rather than both. Like do the stance thing if you want, just don't make the car any less comfortable with track stuff. Or do track stuff and focus on that. I know it's just a personal opinion, but throwing baller parts at a car with no end goal in mind just seems like something to get insta clout and youtube views (although that might be the whole point).
@@chaospotato5511 niiice my best friend used to give me rides home in his m52 swapped E30 I loved that car so much I saved up for a m52tu Z3 and later built and swapped in an m54 although that car was fun I still miss that E30 so elegant yet so sporty. Back seat was super comfortable also
@@erendyalatorre7785 sorry I didnt realise you replied haha.. i somehow went back to this video and i realised your reply.. man i know for a fact i would never sell e30's their price is going high, especially if its all original
The e30 is special. Used to own a 325 e30. Miss it so much. It was so much fun! I put alot of time and cash on it and it was the most fun car i ever owned. Not alot of power but a welded diff and it drifted like crazy.
one of my friends' dad bought an auto sedan e30, converted it into a coupe (easy because coupe and sedan are same length) and manual swapped it and shoved an s50 in it and i can't tell you how much i loved the sound
When these cars were new when I was 13 14 15 to 18 I remember just staring at how beautiful they were. They were perfect and so stylish. The 5 series was so pretty that it was painful to watch them go by expecially a manual 5 series. I'm so glad to have just picked up a barn fine e 30 and I will bring it back.
So I need some insight/help so I'm debating weather I should but a 325Xi that needs a new intercooler and a thermostat or a 1981 Lancia Zagoto Spyder that need new upholstered seats a new soft top cover and a couple other things. The Lancia hasn't run since 05 which should I pick. (Oh and they are both stick).
William Braynen there’s eyebrows for these cars, two piece eyebrows or a single eyebrow that goes all the way across that makes it look like the way it does when the hood is opened
So I just bought a 1988 BMW 325iX, so yes, Mine is AWD! I need to do a budget build for this car. I need a fuel pump and front suspension but I want to do a full suspension on it. I want to keep stock ride height with bigger rims and tires which I have already acquired. Help?
Shes looking nice my dude, I just got an 85 318i I'm pretty hyped to start working on it, picked it up for $500 things look good so far it just needs a starter to run so hopefully I'll have it running tomorrow and I can start replacing all the old with new/refurbished stuff it's gonna be a project forsure though shes rough 😂
@@davincicalisthenics I'm stuck currently, took a different approach trying to remove it by taking my air intake off, it's currently holding on by one bolt and I need to lift it to get it out, other than that she should start here this weekend hopefully, haven't had much time to mess with it the last few weeks
hey guys does anyone know where i am able to get good parts for my 1987 E30 325e in the US?? I dont mind sourcing out to EU sites to get them, any information helps!
I mean nice looking car but installing coilovers and wheels count as a build ? I've count maybe 6 or 7 mods on the car including 2x wheels and coilovers+bags :v
heck yea my grandpa and his 2 brothers and sister worked for Korman auto works in the 70's/80's for him in for the pit team and raced the BMW E30 coupe and won a few races driver was Ray Korman
My dad has his old 80s e30, it’s been sitting in our garage with a lot of issues on the outside it’s in perfect condition and he worked hard for the car to stay almost perfect looking in stock same with the interior but it’s been almost 15 years since it’s been on the road, not sure if it runs and I really want to fix it just cause how cool e30s are it’s sad for me knowing a very popular and cool car is near death in my basement
You guys should do a circuit track build next. I feel that the e30 platform is perfect for a race car build. That's of course if the budget is good for it
What should we do to our E30 next? Drop a comment below and don’t forget to add YOUR ride to our Fitment Gallery! www.fitmentindustries.com/add

Depending on how much you're driving it, swap that steering rack and get some smileys
Fitment Industries send it.

You can’t hate an e30. Something about this classic hits different.
how about 190E ?
Yea its a classic but when you start changing the interior you kinda take out the classic
But i get he going for a race build, just personally wouldnt do that to these cars
@@xandres9451 You don't take the classic out by customising the car to your liking, the main thing remains unchainged, and that's it's look and what it represents in our minds.
This is a quite unique build, never seen a BMW with turn signals before :P

Gotta add the resistor to fix the blinkers flash rate.
Love the door cards. Source?
Tight fit. What wheels/offset?
Door cards are from Condor Speed Shop! We'll get you the wheel specs asap!
Wheel specs are 17x8.5 +10 and 17x9.5 +15
all black..
now tell me how can you not love this car even more?🥺❤💯
Loved the black wheels
I beg you to get rid of the wheel camber. It doesn't make the car "racey", it just makes it look small town fast and furious
So you want a: Datsun 280z (any Datsun series tbh) and AE86!

what did you spray before you painted the carpet?
Could y'all list the time frame for all the songs in the vid? The beats are fantastic, and same goes for the build, it looks sweet!!
I have an old 87 325is garaged and have not started in 8+ years!! My question is where do i start? I want to put it back on the road. And baby it!!

Agreee
you can also get LED halo lights which arent full circles, it gives the car an angry eye look, i saw it on an e34 before.
This is the car that European John Wick has.
What size tires do you use? on the first set of black wheels
