Some pictures of the E30

Took the car for a long drive then a wash and detail after the Turner CAT was put in and it drives much nicer now. Better throttle response, and most importantly, it doesn't stink up the whole car interior (old CAT had holes in it and was leaking exhaust into the cabin when standing still).

Euro mods includes butt warmers, rear manual sunshade with NLA parts, red E30 M3 seat belts, Euro ellipsoid headlights with proper Xenon bulb and ballast, and 3 spoke Euro steering wheel.

The Kenwood unit blends in very well with the interior, and is programmed to match the BMW orange/red dash light color.

The sueded headliner was custom since new headliner was NLA, and the original one was nasty from first owner's neglect.

V1 hardwire, very easy to do on older cars.

Bmoore, I have ES100's on my 14" OEM wheels. These are the best tires I have driven on the E30, they don't wear worth anything, but the traction for me is worth it. I didn't replace the lugnut covers because I will probably get the 15" Euro weaves.

Pretty sure because these cars are money pits, regardless of how pristine they look.
Andy, it def is one of the finest E30's I've ever seen. And I've seen plenty of beat-down specimens in my time.

So nice, Stuka and way to take good care of her. I would love to see this dropped on some BBS LM wheels. I'm sure it feels great now with the tuned M20 inline 6 engine paired with a proper limited slip diff and manual trans. I like the shorter plastic bumpers, headliner, red belts, and steering wheel.
