they did make an e30 325ix, but i agree with your decision not to bother

fastandhceap- whenever I stop buying other vehicles ill rb my 240z, and i don’t plan to keep that awd. rb25 tranny like whoa.

blk hatch -jam bought my old stroker bimmer, and its still together. im building a new stroker now with some custom forged pistons etc.

there are a few lsd’s available that you can find for ~$2-300. 325is had 3.73 lsd. m3’s had 4.10 lsd, and 318is had a 4.1 also, but its big case vs small

there was a groupbuy for 15x8 rota’s a few months ago, so you should be able to find them on either r3vlimited or e30tech

lastly, i hate those fucking metal bumpers. please buy euro bumpers, or put the ones on from 89-91. and that chrome trim looks a lot better black

but looks are whatever. the rb will speak for itself
