Nice find!  I appreciate that you pointed out to us that the Bluetooth head unit was not period correct on a car from 1988.  I giggled lol.

It bugs me cause it looks out of place on the E30. Wish it had something closer to:

If that's something your interested in then PM me and I can get you a price.  I've got a wholesale account with ECS and get pretty decent pricing.

The Nakamichi CD-400 was always on my list as an upgrade but I ended up removing the head unit entirely

I’ll have to check out that BRZO app, never heard of it. Can you share your shipping experience? I get asked all the time about shipping cars because I drive trucks but have no experience or any recommendations haha.

looks great.  Looking forward to seeing another e30 vert around Madison!  I have a black '91.  Now if only we could actually drive them with the tops down.

It is finally here!  @YoungCR - I'll post shippers info and experience comments in the services section

The car looks great! Alpine white is definitely my favorite color

Looks beautiful! looking forward to hearing more about it!

The roof of my car was heavily damaged by some chains or something I assume. I couldn't claim it as damage during transport because when I received the car it was night time and the car was covered in road spray. oh well

My last name is Clayton, I am grandfathered in by the Clayton Bigsby act of 2006 and therefore welcome to your white rallies

I just checked my pocket statute book; this is true.

I’d be down for that, should we include all white BMW’s so @Jdesign isn’t left out with the white shark?

6 series are too elitist for us, pssh. he will be too busy being in rap videos and having a valet park the car while he hits the links.

[Jdesign]

It wasnt a rap video, it was an "English romantic" LOLOL thank you very much... 

maybe I can find a rap video for the shark....

Wired up the amp to the new hot-swappable subwoofer. Not bad for $100 and I use it with the Land Cruiser. Still, need to figure out a way to tie it down

[B C]

Dont tie it down, the sound of it flopping around in the trunk will hit some surprisingly low frequencies that are gonna get you some sick street cred

Minor update: Replaced the ECU with a 173 unit so that I can chip/tune and upgrade the injectors. 

Odometer stopped working so replaced the OEM gears w/Garagistic gears. Pretty easy fix that doesnt require removing the steering wheel but blew out a bulb in the process.
