Arrow First Post - My 89' E30 - Work In Progress
I've been creeping on everything that's been going on here at StanceWorks and there are some incredible cars and I finally registered and thought I would post a couple pictures of my 89' 325i. It's a slow work in progress that gets something new every month or so. Recently in the past 3 months it's been lowered, new Euro Smileys, new window tint, and the Halloween toe hook addition.

Next on the list is 15mm wheel spacers (no money for some nice wheels just yet) and some paint for the roof and hood (previous owner left it outside in the Texas sun all day everyday it seems.

Stock wheels 14x6.5 with 195/60/14 right now..

Anyways let me know what you think!

Thanks,






















- GBS

Haha it's only for halloween, I was going to see if I could get any candy donations considering I don't want to go door to door for candy this year.

Falken had them, I bought them about 8 months ago.

I'll have the raise the back up a little.
Until I can afford some iX struts for the front.

I bought the GC coilover conversion kit. I'm not even using the perch's haha. It's currently as low as it can go with the current setup.

It's a work in progress. Just gotta have some more money.

The exhaust sits pretty funky. Straighten that out and keep saving for nice wheels and it'll be a clean ass e30. Oh, and moar lows of course

Thanks man,

ya we are actually working on exhaust this payday, gutting the cat and changing it from the (2) 1.25" pipes to (1) 2.75" pipe. Should sound a tad better as it is silent other then when I get on it. Also should help with the odd crooked hang of the muffler there..

I was thinking BBS RS's if I could find a pair and manage to save about $3k. Any comments on that?

Thanks,
I'm not set on RS's at all or the price haha..

I'm very open to suggestions..
I kind of liked Rota Shockatons maybe a 15x8. But I saw RS's on a few of the nicer E30's and they are awesome. But it would be a game of saving forever I have a feeling.

Thanks guys! Appreciate the nice words.

Yep it has been taken care of for the most part. The previous owner mentioned that it was owned by 2 BMW car club collectors before him so that may have helped.

When I get a chance to clean inside I'll take some pictures. It's in amazing condition for the age.
