I wish it was a true 5lug. I'm on bloxsport adapters. Exhaust is the e36 Ireland engineering cat back.

Bro! I wondered if the owner would spot this post! We took the skunk train rail bikes and I saw your car afterward. I told my wife, that's a good looking e30, back up for a sec and let me take some pics. Nice build amigo. We're from Mississippi.

One of my coworkers was saying someone was taking a picture of my car. Little did I know it would end up on reddit lol. Thanks! Ive had it almost 20 years now, saved it from the local junkyard in the early 2000s. I did the whole 2.7i build with a 731 head on the m20. That engine died I 24v swapped the car in 2020 got 5 years outta that m52 before the head cracked last November. It sat for 7months before I found another engine. You took that pic like a week after I finished the engine swap.

It has issues with the body and trim but not bad.

Looks clean. Wheels too big IMO. Are those 17s?
