    No idea what your talking about. My E30 (despite the fact its always got something wrong with it ) is extremelly easy to work on. I'd say its almost as easy as the CRX, and a hell of a lot easier than a lot of the other cars i've worked on.

    i think the foglights are a must! that orange makes the holes in the front stand out.. looks cool tho. woudl look better lower with some different wheels. the black wheels kind of mmake it look too bold. Maybe its the pictures...

    Rofl, soon as I read this I immediatly thought about Pirates of the Carribean and those 2 chicks in the bedroom when she tells her she is too bold for asking about the others feelings for Jack Sparrow!

    I don't know why but you sir....are too bold!

    It is a lighter red its just orange in those pics.

    My plans are to slam it and get some hard poking borbet type As probably black. It has a fully rebuilt M20 ported polished cammed. Its turbo ready so in a few months I plan on getting a kit for it. Eventually im going to repaint it lol Color wasnt my choice.

    And the dash lights do not work lol common

    Nothing expresses a german car best but one being slammed on BBS's. Thats what Id do to your e30. Expensive? Yes! Worth it? Totally!!!

    Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.

    youre retarded. e30s are probably THE easiest car to work on, cheapest to fix, and most reliable cars from that time period.
