I can’t believe I have only done one e30 Theme Tuesday prior to this. As a former owner and current member of a number of BMW/E30 forums this is down right shameful.
Not to mention that the the e30 is such a classic and versatile chassis, they look great dumped and kitted on low offset wheels, but also respond great to functional modifications when let loose on the track.
Lets have a look at some from both camps function and form.
Diving boards
Say what you will about these bumpers I think if you know what you are doing you can pull them off. The early chassis also has the larger rear arch to it’s benefit as well.
Of course I am impartial… 😉
Non diving board equipped
Of course I have nothing against the later models either…
Track
Never underestimate an e30 on the track.
Does diving board refer to the old-school bumpers?
Ya, specifically the US spec early bumpers.
I actually like the “diving board” look, in fact, I’d like it even more if the bumpers were smoothed and fit flush to the body. I really like that first E30 on black Basset steelies.
Wish I didn’t sell my E30. One more will come soon.
The pterodactyl shit car (copper one) is pretty dope.
apart from M evos the 10th down might be the coolest bimer ever
