'84 318i - Euro Conversion


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if you guys are welcome to e30's, but i'll give it a go anyways, I do share the same engine as most of you guys.

I've been lurking on this forum for a while, mostly learning what the M10 is capable of. I've never really introduced myself or my car so here it is. It's my first car, a 1984 318i (e30). It's a San Francisco born car, I'm the 3rd owner (should be the 2nd, a Mexi dealer in Chula Vista owned it for a month and then sold it to me). Original Paint too.

I've done a lot to it, but nothing really mechanically. I have a wimpy M10 currently, but I figure, why shove money towards performance, and have a car that looks like crap? If I wanted to do that I would have become a ricer. So I'm directing most of my funds towards appearance and finding and installing coveted OEM options. I'll let the pictures say the rest.

Here is a picture of it at it's first clean car contest (BMWCCA San Diego Clean Car Contest '09). Not a very flattering pic, but you will be seeing it more and more at BMW events in SoCal.

Yes, my headlight cleaning system is fully functional as well as the intensive wash.

I document everything I do to my car in this thread:

My plans for it, are full OEM m-tech 1 kit, s14 swap, slight suspension drop (emphasis on slight), and lots of OEM options.
