I don’t usually cross post threads like this. But I figured Id post up my build here as well. So you guys can see what Im up to.

I have a 1990 BMW 325i. Its in good shape, high miles though. Here are the pics of how it was when I got it.

First thing to go was the chrome kidney grille. Black looks a lot better IMO

After a lot of researching and pestering other E30 owners, I pulled the trigger on a set of Ground-Control coilovers. Super low and static.

The sealed beam halogens had to go. I can hardly see at night. So I upgraded to new headlight assemblies and HID headlights.

The previous owner had some whack ass shift knob. So I bought a brand new OEM BMW one. Much nicer. And I also threw in a Clarion CD player. I can’t live without my iPod.

Then the coilovers had to go. I was all set to move into an apartment that had a ton of speed bumps. So the coilovers didn’t make sense. Sold the set. Decided I was gonna go air. Time to start piecing together the suspension again.

The first part to arrive was the Ground Control rear upper mounts.

I was sworn to secrecy by AccuAir for a while. But then I was able to break the silence. They had a new mounting solution that wasn’t released yet. And they asked if I wanted to get one out of the first batch. Shit yea I did. So i sent back the small black 3 gallon tank. Right now Im waiting for my 5 gallon tank and this awesome mounting solution. Should be available soon. I think they are being finished next week.

Ordered Koni Yellows. VW Corrado G60 front inserts and E30 rears. The G60 front inserts are shorter than the E30 ones are. So that will allow me to cut a section out of the front strut housings to get extra low.
