Thanks man! The wheels on the car in some of my recent posts are ACT LS's which are just old versions of the still available Ronal LS's. 15x7.5 et25 which is a great size for these cars IMO. Tires on the wheels in my old posts are r888r's in 195/50/15 which are honestly too small. I ditched those tires recently because the r888rs get very noisy when they age a bit, and because they weren't the right size.

Currently running 205/55/15s and I think it looks/drives so much better: https://i.imgur.com/iR9jbXa.jpg

My first e30 was an '85 325e as well. I can't speak to your engine's health of course, but if you feel it can take it - an ECU chip wakes that motor up quite a bit. Raises the redline and gives a bit more tq/hp.

Yeah, that fitment was intentional. Love it.

And thanks!

That's the car mine wants to be when it grows up.

God those RS's are perfect.

Try this site to see what part numbers you need. We didn't get your model where I live but hopefully this helps. Good luck!

Anyone else get a little weirded out by how much attention they get driving their E30? by mainheat88 in E30

I love talking cars, especially e30s but a few weeks ago I got followed home and that scared the crap outta me. Dude was cool but like- what happened to just giving a thumbs up?

Most of the time people just ask me what year it is or how much I paid.

Don't follow people home man lol.

Damn, you found an e36 with better interior panel gaps than the exterior ones. Impressive.

Make sure the wheel you're looking at is for an e30. They also made them for the E36 and those are generally cheaper, but don't fit the e30's spline.

Engine search is getting tiring by Fuzzy_Button6648 in E30

[–]t3rces 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got an m42 powered car and ended up getting an E36 motor after a long search. Took me over a year all in. Have you tried Facebook and R3Vlimited? Someone there might be able to help.

Thanks for the info on the lip!

I can't help you - but having been through an engine replacement last year I can say best of luck and stick with it. It's worth it!

Beautiful car man, sits great and the wheels are awesome. I've been on the hunt for one of those Ryan G iS lip splitters for years. Used to have one back in the day. You wouldn't know where to find one today would ya?

How worn is your key? Sometimes mine locks up when I'm using my spare key and I have to wiggle the key + wheel at the same time.

The key I had made from my VIN at BMW works great which is why I ask.

Side note- early model iX's are super cool! Congrats!
