Finally here are the pics of my BMW. Last sunday we had a blast. We met with some other car enthusiasts... and had a great day - plenty of drifts!! this car is even funnier than I thought!

Drift power!! :P

It's "only" 172,000km - but it revs as the first day... up to 6000rpm as a much younger car! :D

We did some videos, onboard video... but this is the only one we've upoaded by now:


I (or my brother) will post more soon :D

finally!!! Love the steering wheel, the car looks as it is in a good condition :good: Congrats and have alot of fun :twisted:

The timing belt and things that goes with it is very important to change right from the beginning its a known issue of destroyed engines of E30 :)

TopGearNL 01-15-2007 05:03 PM

Nice pics and donut Nachete!

Bigger crowd round the bimmer then the Renault :wink:

Im glad the car is performing well, it shows by the amount of pleasure you get out of it!

Dani says your a natural at drifting so I want to see some powerslides soon :mrgreen:

At the end of this month I'll change the water pump and do the timing belt... and not much later, a the suspensions, the LSD... and much more

Dani will upload an onboard video soon... is a 15km road, and the final is very dark with shadows and humidity. I hit some woods in one of the powerslides, you can see that in the vid :D

sameerrao 01-15-2007 05:59 PM

I like the steering wheel - it looks like a '70s CSL wheel - am I right?

I was too far behind in the GTT, so I couldn't see it - but you could see the panic in the passenger's face... :P :lol:

LOL!

I definately want to see it now! :lol:

Jaja, I remember...

The 4 wheels slided at the same time but I don't know why I finally could control the rear... only you can hear a small "clock", there were some woods at the top of the road :D

Ok.... mental note... DON'T be a passenger in a car with Nachete driving, I haven't seen the video, but guess the word to define it must be FEAR, lot's.... :shock:

stradale 01-17-2007 07:59 PM

MIHALS 03-13-2007 05:57 PM

I wonder how much all this game will cost you (your bro).....

but in the end - damn, that will be the meanest 325i I've ever seen :twisted:

just curious - I Don't have the alarm, nor the electronic locks in the door... are you sure you won't need it? :mrgreen:

Max Power 03-13-2007 06:13 PM

haha, what is that juicy fruit? :P

TopGearNL 03-13-2007 07:19 PM

Nice to see the Bimmer progression so well Dani!

It might not be a CS, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder..

I really like those rims! They look like they just came of a WRC! :D

Now lets hope your baby brother gets his license back soon!

ARMAN 03-13-2007 09:22 PM

Looking good :twisted:
i have same problem that those "squares" behind the left front wheel are the first things that start to rust and now I have a whole there and wet carpet all the time :? planning to fix it soon thou.

man those wheels look very nice cant see the installed on the car :twisted: are you doing all the installations yourself or someone else does it?

PM sent :)

Igorionia 03-13-2007 11:49 PM

silentm 03-14-2007 05:06 PM

MIHALS 03-29-2007 09:34 AM

TopGearNL 03-29-2007 09:58 AM

Looking Fine Dani! :D

dutchmasterflex 03-29-2007 10:06 AM

Those white rally wheels look great on the E30! 0X

dutchmasterflex 03-29-2007 11:22 AM

^ wow, that sounds like one hell of a ride.

MIHALS 03-29-2007 11:54 AM

wow, a lot of changes in a very short time :D :twisted:

can't wait for the final version :D

dutchmasterflex 03-29-2007 12:41 PM

Damn.. your bro is gonna have one hell of a BMW Rally car!

When is the roll cage coming?

Then wait for the:

* M3 LSD
* Gtrac short-ratio M-Sport gearbox
* 16in wheels - quite possibly... to fit the
* M3 E30 brakes

:twisted:

Sounds great!

Your brother must be working 24 hours a day now in order to buy all that stuff :lol:

ARMAN 03-29-2007 02:02 PM

holy cow this looks very good :twisted: 16" would look much better imo but as it is for rally i think 15" are better :D

ARMAN 03-29-2007 03:54 PM

this makes me think of selling my 1,8 and buying 2,5 :| or changing the engine wich cannot be done legally by papers here :x I'd switch it withing 3 days if it would be legally doable.
No outside footage? :P I want to see some action from outside of the car :twisted:

those wheels will look killer on R5 :twisted:

16in are definitely better - since they allow you to use bigger brakes...

Now he's trying to sell those 15in Braid to me - for my GTT... and I really like the idea :wink:

BTW - here's the vid I promised:

:arrow:
Not the best E30 action you've ever seen - but the sound from the inside is pretty good... for a stock exhaust. Wait for the straight pipes he has in mind :twisted:

Thanks for the vid Dani, sounds allright to me! :D

silentm 03-30-2007 02:47 PM

M3 POWAH :twisted: great video thx :)

if your bro keeps driving like that, no wonder he'll loose his driverslicense :P

btw next time you make a movie, would you care to polish the windshield where the camera will be filming?

dutchmasterflex 03-30-2007 03:01 PM

Some nice roads there ;)

Looks like the car handles pretty tight. Would love to have a go in a E30 and a custom suspension setup..

Hope to see a little more action in the future.. Maybe a visit to a parking lot?

dutchmasterflex 05-15-2007 01:10 PM

Damn I want my E30 already! Still looking.. but boy does your bro's car look great.

Any plans on turning one of those headlights into an air intake?

dutchmasterflex 05-15-2007 01:27 PM

Yeah I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to have an open intake like that on a rally car. Although I've seen that installed on a few track E30s.

Fog light vents to the brakes seems like a great idea though.

ARMAN 05-15-2007 02:15 PM

i see the front bmw badge is damaged exactly like mine :) now we want to see some outside action vid :P

Erez 05-15-2007 03:45 PM

the "M" is on the wrong side :P :lol: :wink:
