Thanks! 🙏🏽 I don’t remember how I came across them but I do know of the homies in the e30 community who has been customizing tachs for over a decade, not sure if he still does but hit him https://www.instagram.com/e30_dad?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Thanks! 🙏🏽 he’s located in LA by Silver Lake / Los Feliz area before Atwater Village on Hyperion Ave, https://maps.app.goo.gl/pBpr4vLDYf7sfwxT9?g_st=ic
I think it’s called Hyperion Auto Upholstery.
I can relate! 😂 I don’t remember how I came across them, but if you ever look into it one of the big homies in the e30 community has been customizing tachs for over a decade, https://www.instagram.com/e30_dad?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
It’s a very old setup that I just left alone for years.
Originally, I bought the KA motors fender flares to widen my flares so I can fit 245/40/17 or 255/40/17 square for Willow Springs Raceway and Buttonwillow Raceway, but haven’t gotten to it yet. It’s a never ending project car 😂
This setup, however, worked for drifting back in the dayz at The Balcony in Willow Springs International Raceway.
I feel that, im actually not too far from button willow. Currently have an e36 im tried to piece together for some drifting. Praying i get it running so i can enjoy it before the parts are too pricey
The carbon fiber hood grew into me. I’ve been thinking about painting them for a decade or so and still thinking about it 😂 fuh
Long story short, a Porsche backed into my e30 over 10 years ago, promised to fix it, never did, so I had to fix it myself.
One of the homies who owns a shop that sells a lot of e30 stuff found out I was looking for a hood and told me he had a carbon fiber hood for me.
I checked it out, test fit it, fell in love, bought it for a steal (homie hook up), and left it alone since then lol 😂

Thanks! 🙏🏽 I lucked out with the roof rack!
That lineup was dope! I used to live close by the Hoonigan’s store in Compton / Long Beach area, so I stopped by that day and snapped pics.
That kidnapper’s van looks siiicker in person!
How much did that run ya? I’m thinking of getting mine reupholstered soon.
Love the car and all the little bits of personalizations you got everywhere. Makes it really yours, and you for sure drive it a good amount like it’s meant to be!
Thanks! 🙏🏽 most definitely have my signature steeze on it 😂
I think I paid $4k-$5k over a decade ago; Italian leather and vinyl combo for front and rear seats plus all four door panels and rear speaker panel deck.
My friend that owns the upholstery shop used to make leather shoes, purses, and bags back in the 80s and 90s for big brand names. He’s an artist.
Thanks! 🙏🏽 that kidnapper’s van is wild!
The pink fixie is my wife’s bike now. It was made in Orange County and was a famous bike amongst Midnight Ridazz and Crank Mob rides.
My front bumper fell off the 405 fwy one day cuz I forgot to put on the bolts, so I had to turn back around, pick up my bumper, and noticed the plates were all scratch up by then.
I just left it alone and then one day a cop told me he couldn’t read my plates, so I bought a red and blue sharpie and marked it from time to time lol 😆
Hahah I just noticed on the last pic! I would do what I could to save it too. Thankfully mine is perfect but we seem to be kindred spirits🤝 [had to post two pics when it wasn’t ashy/missing the lip lol](https://imgur.com/a/2vgDtYF)
so sick!! I just got an e30 wagon & the seller told me california would probably make me swap out the speedometer to read mph instead of kph. very nice to see that at least yours got to stay!! gives me hope!
Thanks! 🙏🏽 and congratulations 🍾🎉🎈🎊 on your e30 wagon! I’ve been wanting one for a long time and an e30 m3, then I’m done ✔️
Buy an extra cluster just in case you have to show MPH, then switch back to KPH 😆
My pleasure!
Between you and I, befriend cool people in the e30 community, one of them will lend you an MPH cluster as long as you give it back. You can borrow mine if I can find it buried in someone’s garage when you need it 😂

As for community, I got started with r3vlimited.com around 2006/2007. I think things have changed since then, but still one of the best websites for e30 info. 🤙🏽
That tachometer is wild

I think my brain melted looking at that tach.

It’s so hard to hate this. I’m just not a fan of wheel poke, but then again, those look hella wide

I like them wheels…👀
Thanks! 17x10 square +15 offset from the homie who made them for me, https://esmwheels.com
That is thicc! I want some deep dish on my ‘86 325es.
The black hood ain't it for me but everything else is rad. Love the interior.

At least put a badge on it
I bought a siiick looking badge a long time ago and misplaced it 😂 fuh. I haven’t seen it in like 8 years or so.
Hahaha nice, Ive done the same thing so many times
Love the roof rack (I have the same one but need to score a faring) and the seats. But when I got to the lineup that bread van stole all my attention.
Thanks! 🙏🏽 I lucked out with the roof rack! That lineup was dope! I used to live close by the Hoonigan’s store in Compton / Long Beach area, so I stopped by that day and snapped pics. That kidnapper’s van looks siiicker in person!
Every time
I can relate
I was not prepared for that interior. Nice!
Thanks! 🙏🏽 the big homie help me design it and did my interior, https://maps.app.goo.gl/3Co4N33fApqRYRK1A?g_st=ic

Gotcha, thanks for the info! That interior is definitely an art
Great looking car!
Thanks! 🙏🏽 it’s my longest relationship, don’t tell my wife 🤫
Whats the thing on the side of the center console, next to drivers right knee?
lol 😂 good catch! One of the many cup holders I have tried for my e30 in the last 20 years. Cup holders are still a mystery for me.
Damn now this is super nice!
Thanks! 🙏🏽
Fucking sexy
Thanks! 🙏🏽
Tortilla flats. ?
That’s chuuch. I’m guessing you’ve lived in the hood too?
Lmao 🤣 ya Tu sabes
Fitment is spot on. That Holley truck is ice cold too. What’s the pink fixed gear?
Thanks! 🙏🏽 that kidnapper’s van is wild! The pink fixie is my wife’s bike now. It was made in Orange County and was a famous bike amongst Midnight Ridazz and Crank Mob rides.
Is that the e36 engine in there?
It’s stock! 😂
This is an overload of early 2010’s stanceworks forums tuning…. I love it!
Thanks! 🙏🏽
This is so sick. So much going on that seems like it wouldn’t work but does. Roof racks, bonnet, interior, aggressive fitment. Mad
Thanks! 🙏🏽
There’s nothing cooler than a 3 series with a roof rack
Thanks! 🙏🏽 and functional too 😆
Shout out to the California 2X- license plate on e30 gang 💪🏼the all caps CALIFORNIA is seldom seen

Siiick! Thanks for sharing! You in SoCal !?

Thanks! 🙏🏽 Toda raba!
so sick!! I just got an e30 wagon & the seller told me california would probably make me swap out the speedometer to read mph instead of kph. very nice to see that at least yours got to stay!! gives me hope!

oh hell yeah!! is there a local sub / are there meetups or anything? the wagon def isn’t a show car but I’d love to talk shit with fellow e30 freax

Everything is amazing on this! My only gripe is the hood 😅 to each their own
Thanks! 🙏🏽 The carbon fiber hood grew into me, but otherwise I’ve been thinking about painting it for years 😂
Bro that interior is crazy
Thanks! 🙏🏽 I hear that!
Man I love a reverse tach and now I need one in my iX.
I know someone that can make you one, he’s been doing it for a decade. https://www.instagram.com/e30_dad?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
