I'm probably gonna get some IGGEE seat covers for it in black, I've never been too fond of the tan interior myself
I just cant wait for the rest of the suspension stuff to show up so I can check out the stance!
!!!!! i'd love to have your front seats as spares, find some black ones so i can have them!
-
i almost bought an e30 auto tranny so i could cross section it and display it like those pictures you posted. then i realized it would be too much work. thanks for sharing!
-
i approve of these cars. the cobra front bumper makes such a difference on the pony!
-
besides a few minors tweaks, its definately my favorite currently available BMW. i'll take one in that orange color! i'd love to see a sub 3000lb car, but 3200 is pretty close and hard to argue with.

looks like you are going to do some great mods to it! i love the interior choice, i also went from gray to tan vinyl! those wheels are going to look really good too.

SUNDAY, MAY 15, 2:00PM - ?
You bring your BMW, some food item (chips, veggies, whatever), and I'll provide drinks and some hamburgers/hot dogs/whatever vegetarians eat if we have any attending.
I'm in Milwaukee near the lake, so I'm relatively central to those in Appleton/West Milwaukee/Milwaukee/Kenosha/Northern IL/etc. I have a driveway which will accommodate 3-4 cars and we can park 15 or so cars comfortably on the street right in front of my house.
If people hang around long enough, we may drive towards downtown and take some nice night shots.
PLEASE RSVP IF YOU ARE COMING by PMing ME. I will give you the address through PM.

yes, it does make sense for a lot of people. i love the iPhone interface, i cannot lie i do want one for the fun of it. been tossing around the idea of an iPad, but it doesnt run much useful software, so I might as well get a laptop.

8 is good.
having another issue, although it may be browser related: a couple times now when i submit the quick reply, the box just goes empty and it doesnt post the comment so i have to retype it. edit: figured it out. if you type a message and hit the +Reply to Thread button again (blue one above the reply box) it erases your message! i have to stop pressing it lol.

As far as my skills go. Im learning more and more about body work everyday.
i might have to hit you up for some work!
as far as me, i have no official training, but ive been wrenching on my e30s for 7 or so years now, so I am competent doing any suspension work, brakes, interior, wiring, m20 maintenance, etc. short of major drivetrain work, ive done most everything. i can do small painting projects pretty well like shadowline, trim respray and wheel refinishing.
i am a pro and rebuilding/smoking/modifying ellipsoid headlights!

i cant possibly justify spending over $1000 on a phone and its service per year. thats a lot of money to listen to people babble.
-
i think mine is the battery, as its not cranking with much ooomph right now. i had to have my client pick me up this morning (embarrassing!)
-
snow was bad here too. not as much as you guys, but the drifts were terrible. i have some pictures that ill post.
but funny you should say about the cold. this morning was the first day in 7 years that i have had a bmw not start.
the m50 wont crank over, its too cold! now I need to see if they have a block heater for this motor. -
you bring back memories. been to Frank's Diner yet?
-
Alex, it says we are allowed to post a maximum of 4 images in a post when I tried placing 7. Any chance of upping it?

a couple more:
Kenosha Public Museum (lol kenosha!)
War Memorial Center by Eero Saarinen:
not really a landmark, but it doesnt get much more 'Wisconsin' than this:
-
How about a fun thread to start this off? Rules: Everyone post your bimmers at landmarks around the state! If you dont have any, try to snap some new ones!
I'll start it off...
I just sold this e30, but it went everywhere while I had it. I plan on whoring out my new e30 all over the state as well.
At Concours BMW:
In the Historic 3rd Ward, Milwaukee:
At the new Harley Davidson Museum:
Harley again:
-
Yeah those were really good ones. I even got comments from non-car people who liked them which was unusual!
However, I have to say VW did well with the Darth Vader kid commercial!

its a small show, but worth $10. i believe they have a student day, and if you bring your student ID you can get half off or something.
