Big thanks to everyone who made it out today. Fantastic turnout as usual, probably 100 cars throughout the day. Also, thanks Glen for helping out with directing traffic! Cool to see Chris Young win the main raffle prize.

UPDATE.
Sorry for the lack of updates. This last 2 weeks have been a super hard push to get the car done for an event on the 30th for testing.
That being said there is a long story to get into about the tune, but first... I finished wrapping everything but the modded rear diffuser along with spending a Saturday morning putting down some gtequnick HALO ceramic coat for wrap.
Super hyped on the way this thing is looking with bigger lips and all one color!

I also forgot to mention that I had the trunk worked on, a friend was able to make it ALOT nicer than it was with lots of sanding and a re-clear. Not perfect but its alot better looking! 




I also installed the aero wolf mirror visors I have been hoarding for a year.

 
And here is the engine bay with all the body panels surrounding it. 😊

 
I also got another pair of lips in so I mounted those up on another pair of weds kranze Cerebus 2s.

 
I ordered and mounted a fire extinguisher bracket FINALLY. I always had the extinguisher but since putting in the cage and interior I needed a bracket.

 
Just need to get a pull keychain.

 
I also drew up and printed some inserts for the rear bumper slides to take care of the M3 bumper sag issue.


 
They aren't perfect and need some work but they will work for now and creating an entire bumper slide bracket is out of the question time wise right now lol
Before.

 
After.

 
NOW. 
ALOT of shit has happened with the tuning/troubleshooting but this is the best I can type it out.
The original tune with the supercharger came from Classic Daily (CD). It barely started the car on cold starts and took atleast 4 tries and the car ran like absolute shit. The throttle response was super lazy but I was able to drive the car but there were some spots that it was sluggish and leaned way out.
Talking to the tuner from CD we did all kinds of diagnostics including smoking for vacuum leaks, checking fuel pressure and even bypassing the charger by putting the maf straight off the throttle body.
Nothing really solved the problem and showed a definite smoking gun. 
The only thing that made me 100% sure of the tune being the problem was I could take my old DME with the n/a m54b30 with b30 manifold tune plug it in and the car would start, run and respond better to throttle LMAO
So I hit the internet searching for the best options and the quickest as there is essentially less than 2 weeks before the first event I will be driving.
I found a tuner that has good reviews, is communicating super well and we began communicating/sending tunes on Wednesday the 19th. Today is Saturday the 22nd and I already have been sent a new basemap, taken some data logs of driving and idling and sent them off for revisions. 😊🤘
Now that that's out of the way the final update goes along with the tuning.
The injectors I got with the kit are green seimens deka of some sort. All we can find online is that they are from a Mercedes. No part number on the injectors. SO I got a set of maroon? Seimens dekas from a friend they are still 440cc injectors but they have part numbers and good info on dead times online.

 
Swapped them out on Friday along with uploaded the first base map then drove and data logged today! (Saturday)

 
Now we wait for the map revisions and hope the remote process continues as smoothly as it has so far!

I'm hoping to make it up for Saturday at minimum, but thinking about camping Friday-Sunday since it's always a fantastic time. 

Subframe secured, electrical all connected, new slave cylinder and lines installed, front axles installed, new tierod in, suspension all buttoned up, driveshaft/heatshield/exhaust installed, radiator and all hose connections done, and steering shaft connected.
Waiting on all fluids to show up in mail this weekend. Then it's on to changing oil in front diff, rear diff, transmission, transaxle and engine.  Along with new coolant and brake fluid.
 

It's official, the E30 Picnic this year will be held on Saturday, June 5th 10-3 at Village Park in Pewaukee. Excited to be taking this over this year and even more excited to see an actual event take place!

Thanks Glen for the flier!

That would imply everyone's E30s are actually running and not in pieces 

Yup, definitely should be able to make this one

I guess I've never considered my one stop light 2,500 person town a city 😂

No, it is some special ordered nasty gold color.

Another vote for hanging on to the forum. The mix of threads on car projects, other projects, and other things of interest works. Tech and diy information from folks who get their hands dirty, aspirational / inspirational projects,  and local classifieds from folks you can trust are things to be valued. 
 
Covid hasn’t been mentioned but this has had a disruptive effect on gatherings and narrowed a lot of focus to home, increasing work demands if you’ve kept it, and all the needs and importance of family  with school disruptions if you’ve got kids. Even though events still happened last year there was a Covid effect.
Hopefully this is a better year. TJ has the e30 picnic in the works for early June, planning for DE and other assorted track events are underway (shameless plug: Midwestern Council has a track weekend with DE and a race comp school on Saturday, and sprint races on Sunday at BFR later next month, April 24-25). Spreading the word through the forum about local events will be a help. 
 
Think about ways that Badger Bimmers can help spread the word about what WIBimmers is about and up to.  The Immer is always looking for stories and seeing the length of some threads I know you guys can write. This might generate some more traffic to the forum. Let me know, I just started a stint on the board.

I'm heading to Florida next Friday and managed to score some tickets to the 12 hours of Sebring from Michelin!
