1986 BMW E30 320i: The never-ending project 

+Knospe i feel you o the "as long as it lives part". i built mine, i have the 325e and we've been together for a year. so many mods, i painted it, NeoMotorSports coils, rims, NRG steering wheel, sound system etc etc and i fall in love with it everytime i start it up and pull out of a driveway/parking lot. The rubber necking it gets is incomparable to other cars... it gets a certain kind of look. i'm almost 19 and people are astonished and even if they arent car enthusiasts they still take sometime to appreciate the engineering and craftsmanship of the e30. doing a swap this winter to the 540i e39 V8 motor, with a turbo.

+Knospe I own e30 320i :)

right on ! that's the spirit! same here I have the m20b27 in it with mtech1 as well , well up to date maintenance and from engine down to tranny and so as handling.. such a great and lovely thing to drive at its finest! , never will give her up !

It is just anoying, but this car looks like an actual M, didnt you see the exterior mtechnic and also interior wheel and seats? Not only M3 is an M

BMWyCia yes exactly, thats why I said it can be forgiven, but no M engine, that is usually a main sign of M

Nope you didnt understand. It doesnt have to be forgiven or anoying eather because it doesnt need to be an M3 to have the M badge, there are also M-sport versions and have allways been in bmw market, so it doesnt all come to the engine to be an M car and it is not frustrating or forgiven if you know a little bit about BMW models.

Ofc it doesnt need to be an M3 to have an M badge, there are a lot of bmws that have the badge without having any of M equipment and that is frustrating, im saying it for this one becaose i dont know a word on english for that but its not horrific

Zanna if you actually knew about bmw you would notice that it is fully equipped with mtech 1. So yes it has "m" parts

at the moment im just running coilovers and 15'' bbs rs 001 wheels. but i have plans for doing HR suspension and 16'' bbs rs wheels :)

Anyway, awesome story and video ♥✌🏽

+gmartirosyan well its a complete hartge exhaust i got installed :)

+emil blach I thought Hartge sounded more rough. Do you have like Wheelwell profile of smth. with the list of modification you've done so far? You've truly cool car from any angle!

+gmartirosyan well its a complete with header, mid and rear section :) but no i dont have that profile.

+WolfgangMaximus Hello Wolfgang i bought them on ebay from a dude in cyprus. its original hella yellow lights that was sold in france and on some alpina's :)

+emil blach thank you! was just wondering because they look almost golden in this video.

+WolfgangMaximus some people use a vinyl wrap to get similiar outcome... but original hella yellow headlights are a lot better of course
