Your parachute pants are going to slide around on those seats, and the "Clash" and "Dead Kennedys" buttons on your pleather jacket might scratch them also....
Kidding....nice car!

Nice but umm...it's missing something? I'm assuming it's an M3. Those cars are really cool.

Looks naked without the rear wing. But looks great nonetheless! Congrats!

+1, it definately needs the spoiler! Looks great though!

I have been dreaming of getting a clean E30 M3 myself.

Like the M Coupe, I go crazy when I see the original M3.

+1 on the comments that it needs a rear wing, but, hey, it's your car.

Awesome, dude! Please post more pics as you progress. I love old bimmers. (I'd also go with the wing--I think it's a trademark of the E30 M3; love the debadging).

NICE! I always loved that 1st gen M3. Back when lightweight meant something, if even by accident!

Talk about clean! Very nice...love the Type IIIs.

How much are E30 M3s going for nowadays? I'm sure they are holding their values a la our 993s.

I convinced a salesman at Rusnak BMW in Westlake Village to let me test drive one at the tender age of 18. That drive still sticks out in my memory and I'll definitely have one of them in the garage at some point. Put the wing back on it though...
