Greetings to you all.

My car is 82' e21 315 that looked like this (when i bought it):

With butt ugly Hyundai seats, E30 rear spoiler, ATS Cup rims and LPG kit.

Then after some time:

I bought whole 323i interior.

Image

Image

Recaro seats went to the upholsterer
Image

Rear seat didn't go in the car because of the bad condition.

After the interior I bought the angel eye headlights of my friend.

You're going in the wright direction mate, the car is becoming really cool especially with that M30B35. IMHO this engine suits E21 much betterthan newer m50 or M52, they look too plastics:)

:) yeah but you can take the plastic off and replace it with a metal stainless cover,

Im amazed at the size of the m30 though, must have been a struggle getting that to fit! so did you do all the work yourself?

I took car to the mechanic (friend of mine recommended him) that has experience with modifying BMW's. Because, unfortunately :( I don't have place, tools, knowledge, etc for that kind of adventure. But I am trying to learn every thing I can about it. :D

The new color is just perfect :thumbsup . Does the M30 swap need some cutting or it`s made just to fit in the chassis ?

Only thing that needed to be modified is position for engine mounts, nothing else. :D 8)

coffee brake you have on your car? Have something to do in this respect and may even jel that similar car
because I see that you put of 323 do not you think that a little weak for this engine?

raseeda green thanks, red looked nice but it stands out too much for my liking and ATS Cup are replaced with black BBS from the picture.
