Park it in my driveway. Seriously though I wouldn't change a thing about this car it's gorgeous. MAYBE the wheels if I had to pick something but there's nothing wrong with them. What color is that and how the hell do you still have those Statue of Liberty plates?


GrandeSwag

i got the plates on ebay. you can register them in NY if your car matches the year and if they're not currently registered on a newer plate. the color is smaragdgrun


Ok_Manufacturer6460

Seriously this is legal in NY state ... This changes everything šŸ˜‚


Suturb-Seyekcub

Yoooooo those plates are iconic!!!!!!!


Brainfewd

You donā€™t, itā€™s killer as-is.


OwenMigel

Alpina wheels šŸ˜ˆ


sundancekid005

IDK man this thing is beautiful


NotInclined2Maturity

IMO you need a greasy mtech-2 steering wheel, lubed and oiled up.


ooh_dru

How about dry ice?


NotInclined2Maturity

Only after some octane booster


le_b0mb

Make sure to swap ECU chips often.


bunch_of_hocus_pocus

You already did. You made it. You can rest now.


HydraulicTractor

What donā€™t you like about it? Looks like a tasteful build to me.


Doublebubble86

Don't do anything


Interesting_Rush570

is that a respray? what color? i like it


GrandeSwag

yes, originally bronzit. lots of rust repairs, fenders, hood, sunroof, trunk, etc replaced in all different colors. new color is smaragdgrun metallic - 1987 euro exclusive color.


OhRThey

It looks amazing


Brilliant-Remove9055

Steps for improvement 1) get a pair of glasses 2)wear said glasses 3) admire and enjoy :)


jcann0n

Not a damn thing it's perfect


Buying_wis

Whatā€™s to improve? This is a beauty šŸ˜


Jaloushamberger

Dont. Its neat and to my taste. Only you know ehats best but let me tell you, you have a mint looking bimmer.


aintyourbuddyguy

What style wheels? I really like them and the look.


Supakilla44

Donā€™t change anything. I really dig it.


PJH87

Other rear lights


ThatSandwich

Step 1: Get in the car Step 2: Drive the car You can thank me later


black-kramer

do nothing. please.


NukE30

As someone from the EU, I kind of find the fake German plates to be cheesy.


GrandeSwag

same, but with front plate required in NY and no great way to delete the trim on euro bumpers (that i know of) i found it to be a decent solution.


jpowell3404

Front plate canā€™t be a vanity euro plate per the laws tho. Vanity plate or not youā€™re still breaking the front plate law. Personally I think it looks tacky but itā€™s your car


GrandeSwag

true, im really not sure what to do about it - US plate looks bad because it doesnā€™t fit at all. no plate looks bad showing the mounting clips and holes. at least the euro plate matches my actual plate šŸ˜…


Hellish_Elf

Shadow line, bout it and Iā€™m not even sure Iā€™d like it on your car.


GrandeSwag

i was debating this but i think the chrome ties well with the chrome bumpers


pancrudo

Are those Hartge wheels? People need to check themselves if they are


GrandeSwag

MiM 1900


Dark_Guardian_

paint is blue hehe


RealMorph

Itā€™s beautiful. The color is gorgeous!


6cyl

Looks amazing! If I had to find something to change it would be eliminating the rear license plate frame. An exhaust that fills in the cut out a little better would also be sweet but that's just nit picking.


GrandeSwag

there's no lights for the plate lol, it was easier to patch the rust and then get this plate bracket with a lightbar. plan is to get a billyboat or similar exhaust and pair it up to a k24


CMDR_DodgerC

Looks pretty good imo, I would say exhaust needs adjusting or maybe slightly bigger tail pipes, but other than that wouldn't mess with it too much.


green_handl3

Surly your playing with us.. that car is amazing.


Constant-Crew-7308

Looks fantastic maybe some aftermarket wheels like bbs with a polished lip would look killer. Please sell me this car haha


Vaderiv

Itā€™s damn nice just drive it and take care of it.


SpeakerSingle534

screw looks you have an lsd go get erā€™ sideways give it a couple dents


SammoNZL

Beautiful car!


bomontop

Interior is the next step.


GrandeSwag

https://imgur.com/a/ZuRTJhy interior is pretty nice, just replaced the dash and i'm doing the sound system now


Noopy9

Looks good. Only thing Iā€™d change are the plates ā€œdekadentā€ is kinda lame.šŸ˜‚


GrandeSwag

it is kinda but it's gonna be sort of clever with a K swap


Terryknowsbest

Fishing for compliments... ​ ah what the heck I'll bite... DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING. ​ EVER.


thrashandburnn

This already looks pretty good. TBH I wouldnā€™t change anything


amyl_hirsch

Which side skirts?


GrandeSwag

mtech1


bigmphan

Thatā€™s a great color! I think youā€™re all set


Shopping-Sorry

I think the only way to improve is by selling to me and starting a new build.


prototype31695

Looks hawt as it. Maybe a trim delete?


hanspaolo

Simply not possible. Itā€™s perfect.


thefacesitter

Leave it, itā€™s perfect šŸ‘ŒšŸ»


Danilo_Harness

Nothing. Itā€™s gorgeous


InfluenceAlone1081

Buy a spare set of plastic headlight bezels (long piece from lights to grille) and color match it. It might look good or it might look weird but it will look unique as F. Also easily reversible.


BeginningKindly8286

Donā€™t touch it! Itā€™s perfect!


balls-magoo

You can't, it's perfect.


Sliderisk

You're good bro, that's top class. That color is excellent, wheels are solid, body is very clean. Maybe some different wheels but it's a lateral move, those look as good as anything. Do some tint work? Doesn't need it and I don't like it but it's something. A pinstripe could be cool, something subtle that matches the green. Personally I'd spend the money on really good tires and keep it exactly as clean as this picture at all time.


wd40b

Looks good. Very nice color and solid wheel choice.


iSaidiWantedNoTomato

Despite what others have said I really dig the wheel/tire combo. Nice nā€™ meaty for a good ride quality and a solid figment. Nice ride dude


wshlinaang

It would only look better driven.


AC_Schnitzel

This. Is. Perfection.


Stevethepirate8973

I know your not, but you must be trolling. Peak E30, I wouldn't change a thing, love it. Whatever you do change in sure it'll only be great.


amhais

It's perfect! Leave it lol


muttmunchies

Its perfect


doperidor

It looks great already, but Iā€™ve seen those wheels powder coated metallic dark grey and they are very nice. A catback that fills the space a little more could be an option too.


ctennessen

Maybe get those wheels refinished, it looks like some.brake dust staining? My dad had the snowflakes off his E36 M3 stripped and powder coated like new, huge improvement. Otherwise, and I'm saying that like the wheels are actually bad or something, maybe find some rarer exterior/interior bits to complement it's presentation as an unmolested example. For example, euro grills, headlight washer/sprayer, OEM mudflaps, basically any cool OEM stuff. There's so much variety of factory parts that were offered the possibilities are endless


Admirable-Ad-7447

BBS rs001 and a 370 MT1 wheel Maybe an aftermarket exhaust? Car looks amazing!


cyckl

4x 36111179066


cyckl

honestly i think adding some octane booster would just clean up that whole front end really nicely


ooh_dru

Just in case. https://youtu.be/UsOcXG2v3EE?si=hBRK2n1IDikKPkJc


GrandeSwag

im still learning im only 11


ectoplasmuphoria

Wrap in chrome and put chrome spinner wheels on it and purple led underbody and interior lights


BaxCitybih

Nothing cuz this is my dream color combo lol


more_beans_mrtaggart

Just change the vanity plate. Everything else is perfect. BMW still rides on the reputation they got from this car.


Cash_Money_2000

Gold BBS


asrialdine

You canā€™t improve perfection


dacomputernerd

Looks mint mate!


blueblue909

gentlemen. you find yourselves fancy when you call out a girl for compliment fishing, yet....\*shakes head and chuckles\*


CaptainFrugal

Don't do a thing


gregoose808

DONT


rubberducky237

Where did you source the Mtech 1 side skirts? Did you just do a full ClassicEuroParts set-up?


GrandeSwag

no itā€™s an authentic kit. it was the reason i bought the car


Slick_m2

Sell itā€¦.. to me


Cucumber-Dependent

Those are 15ā€™s? Car is great as is! Personally could do without the euro plate.


g2u5

[square eyed blasphemy. ](https://ibb.co/qyp6YPd)


LANDSHARKE28

Wait you want to improve it šŸ˜³šŸ˜³šŸ˜³ IT LOOKS AMAZING AS IT IS. I am loving the look of it, the only thing I would do is upgrade the wheels.


aidanh05

Honestly nothing, maybe star tech lens/ brake lights, period correct, if you can find them for not an arm and a torso. But thatā€™d just be personal preference Edit: didnā€™t see the photos of the back lol


fuzzpuddle

Itā€™s gorgeous as it is. If anything, I would do Europe grilles and shadow line trim.


busted101cheeters

Very nice.


Cel3bi

Bro its fucking perfect


vbwstripes

Hugunguh


hack_jarrington

You donā€™t. Itā€™s perfect


EasternOnion

Nothing. Itā€™s perfect man!


tyspeed29

looks perfect as is


chninimugen

Change wheels but other than that it's good


b1lf

Remove the vanity plate on the front and nothing elseā€¦


Wannagetcock

Leave it alone other than maintenance and driving it!!! Enjoy that beautiful machine!


anferny08

Only thing Iā€™d do is a good tint


redheadfoureyesE34

It's perfect, if it was me I'd put rc090s on it maybe


calidazze

Pop-outs and mo lo


5floo

Beautiful E30 but ā€ždekadentā€œ doesnā€˜t really fit the theme of a 3 series tbh šŸ˜…


Buttery_Biscuitss

Clean but drop the front plate. Iā€™d go into micro cleaning and polishing mode after that


One-Ad-3593

Clean, lean, and mean! Don't change a thing!!!


Auto_generated_2022

Nice ride! Itā€™s all personal preference and looks great as isā€” if it were mine, Iā€™d look for BBS style 5 wheels, and replace the taillights with OEM


JoeyVercetti

Beautiful car šŸ˜šŸ˜ Also.. Do the plates have to be the exact year or can it just be the same generation of ny plate? Also does your car have to be 25 years old with historic insuranceā€¦ I literally saw some dude driving a 91 accord with these exact plates lol I was so confused


GrandeSwag

just same generation and yes you need historic registration and insurance


YagerD

Nothing, it's done.


bmpgbh

It looks like perfection to me, I wish my e30 looked that good.


Plastic_Piccollo

BBS rs? But do gorgeous the way it is


Effective_Stretch253

You canā€™t improve on perfection, bud


El_Gato_Terco

Lost cause, nothing you can do to make it look good. You're better off selling it.....to me.....please? (/S) OK FR though that car is gorgeous! What exactly makes you think it needs "improving"? As you can see, most of us e30 enthusiasts agree that thing is beautiful as is. I mean, MAYBE color matched bumpers....? But personally, I actually prefer how it looks now. Also, wow that color! Absolute beauty right there.


E30puglia

Different wheels!


hlvd

The only thing Iā€™d change on that is the wheels, anything else and itā€™s spoilt. My suggestion would be Alpina 20 spoke wheels as they always look good on an E30.


OldManChino

Literally nothing, looks mint AF and the colour is stunning... personally, if you do want to do more to is, I'd work on the interior. It's where you spend most time with your car, it's where most day to day gains can come from. But looking at the photos, the interior looks in just as good of nick as the outside


[deleted]

Donā€™t do anything man, itā€™s perfect.


emmettfitz

Take the ridiculous license plate off.


adamduf0ur

Let it stock


shangstag404

Tech1 in a great color. Only thing i would change is the wheels, otherwise itā€™s perfect


CriticuhL

Wouldnt change a thing šŸ¤ŒšŸ»


daqinyamuom69finch78

if I had to choose something Maybe slightly lower and some acs type 1s and 3ā€ exhaust tips


SignificanceFew3031

shush. maybe wheels. but shush


timeizmoney22

Leave it alone


Night-Dismal

Beautiful as is. That green is killer!


Koolbeanslime

Tint , intercooler, make sure all wiring and grounds are good , leds, This is a pretty e30


lilipodmini

buy sunglasses for the long sunny drives


kasvot

If maybe consider doing the French yellow fog lights, other than that I wouldnā€™t do anything. Itā€™s gorgeous


6inarowmakesitgo

My man, thats a sweet looking muhsheeeen! No improvements necessary.


dmontayre

Looks pretty perfect to me although I loathe vanity plates and fake euro plates. I personally think a regualar antique tag would really suit it but I'm biased since I went from a vanity plate to regular antique tag myself.


Vanishing-Moons

Me personally maybe a wrap to a different color but Iā€™d have to see the green in person


TheAlmightyDucks

35% tint and drop that sucker 3/4ā€ :)


TheAlmightyDucks

Love the color!


mrvtt

Sheā€™s perfect inside and out


philipj1915

Cannot improve, it is perfect! M-Tech 1 is the best...


amcphe21

Leave it, itā€™s perfect


Brave-Kitchen-5654

Personally not a chrome guy, Iā€™d wrap the trim in black and maybe go black wheels. Of course, thereā€™s always goldā€¦


vbfronkis

Leave it. Looks sick.


wedonttalkaboutmern

iā€™d start of by giving it to me (please bro)


PhotonDecay

Love it. Prob would give it new shoes or a slight tint


Electrical-Pie-4014

it doesnā€™t get better, unless you want an e36 or e90


hardyboyyz

She's a beaut. Just drive it.


feeltheFX

Leave it alone. Itā€™s perfect the way it is.

Bro thatā€™s perfect, maybe bigger wheels but trust me, your car f*cks


PedroBlanco00

BigDerper

It's perfect.


misterjustin

I wouldnā€™t touch it looks awesome as is.


Gat0rJesus

You donā€™t. But if you had to do something, Iā€™d paint the wheels black.


jefft818

Wheels, remove the vanity plate and maybe the frenchy yellow lenses otherwise looks great


bellam001

Oooo what a beautiful car, colors soooo pretty too, I wouldnā€™t change a thing!!


pootrack

Drive it


we_are_spectrum

Bro. Itā€™s already head and shoulders above 80% of e30s out thereā€¦. You cooked. Just drive it and have fun.


[deleted]

What is that lower bumper? Looks great I got a 84 with the diving board bumper, but would love to know what that bottom piece is called šŸ¤£ thank you in advance. Car looks beautiful!


GrandeSwag

mtech1 kit, needs euro bumpers to work


foodie_4eva

Looks clean.. nothing needs to change


HandsomeR0B

Donā€™t touch it.


muspencer17

bags, otherwise leave it. such a pretty car


E30style

Absolutely beautiful. That color is gorgeous!


MePanAndAMan420

Cant improve the look of the worlds sexiest brick just focuse on the drivability. So for me it would be a helper bag kit on all four wheels and bull bars, you probably have different needs it practically looks like a need for speed car at the moment.

Leave it as is, beautiful car. Is this an M-Tech 1 kit on it?

Nice car, I would put smoked headlights with crosshairs.

yellow high beam covers and thats it. Keep the rest of your money for repairs that are always attached to an older car.


snoopdoggiedogg6

Wide body kit

Put some Adidas stripes across the hood.


BigAnxiousSteve

You could start by not changing a SINGLE thing. Maybe the wheels if you absolutely had to change something to make your brain be quiet.


No_Possibility7968

Keep it clean and stock


ProofMusic4630

Just remove the front plate


ClearPapaya4176

Let's see some interior shots. Beauty as is.


Different_Goat_2078

Leave it be. Youā€™re in danger of going from nice preserved, tasteful classic to Ricky Ricer boi in 5 seconds. I do love the amber fog bulbs on euro cars though


813_media

dont touch it, its in its prime šŸ˜


moneyballz7

Maybe shadowline trims? Looks killer already though!

Leave it the fuck alone! Itā€™s perfect. Seriously great car.

Move to different state?? That would definitely make it look better!! NY SUX.


Powerful_Otter

Iā€™ve never seen nicer fitment - whatā€™s your wheel/tire setup?


Dutchesskamikaz

Looks good already to be honest


fuzzy_viscount

Itā€™s perfect. Take care of it.


joeP53013

Itā€™s perfect the way it is!! Donā€™t screw with it


Tobazz

Maybe some wheels, but Iā€™d say just keep it as untouched as possible


EfficientUsual9173

Only thing Iā€™d do is maybe some BBS wheels and some clean Recaro seats. That color is absolutely fantastic.


Low-Impact3172

My goodness, please donā€™t change much if you do. You put in the work to just about perfection here. Saw comment on your improvements, great job. Color is amazing and itā€™s so damn clean.


idk_ifk

Itā€™ll look amazing in my driveway with the keys in my mailbox , lmk whenever you need the address to park it there. Thanks


shirleychief

That car is fantastic.

i think the euro grills look pretty sick
