      Looks wonderful but i didnt see any work done on it. So in reality it's still that same tired 40 year old BMW with oil leaks and worn out suspension. Kind of like unemployed single mom from trailer park getting a haircut and tons of makeup, thinking she is ready to marry a millionaire. I feel bad for person who is buying this car for 20k thinking that it's in perfect condition.

    Wow, what an absolutely stunning (and satisfying to watch!) transformation! I've had my beloved E30 for four years and it's awesome to see other owner's restoring their cars to the original look, I'm definitely not a fan of the drifting/wide body look a lot of people are doing to these cars. You guys knocked this one out of the park, it looks phenomenal. (And it was fun to see the other beautiful cars in the background at your shop, too). I'm going to go check out your other E30 video right now, this one was great!

    Wow, That was dejavu. I had one excatly like this in 1988, same wheels and a coupe. Mine was "just" 320i, with 127hp. It had the 7x15 BBS Split-rims, 205/50/15 in front, and 225/50/15 in the back. Dreaming of having a striped out coupe again, with a little more hp, to have fun on trackdays.
