3-Series (E21, E30)Chat relating to the BMW 3-Series from 1975-1983 and 1984-1991 line. Specific models: BMW 315, BMW 316, BMW 318, BMW 318i, BMW 320/4, BMW 320i, BMW 320/6, BMW 323i, BMW 320i. E30 Family models include: BMW 325e, BMW 325i, BMW 325is, BMW 325ix.
I'm thinking of buying an E30. I used to have an 85 325e and have very fond memories of it and now am looking to cut my car payment and pick up something around 3-4K
What are some things to look at when buying an E30, my old one was around 180,000 miles and seemed to be running strong before i totaled it in a moment of 19 year old stupidity.
I know I want a coupe and a 5spd, sport package and probably the 2.5i engine this time around.
I am going to autocross the car so I know that I'll need to change the tires, and probably the wheels.
How wide are the stock wheels?
How wide a tire will fit in the stock wheel well?
What are good inexpensive adjustable shocks?
What are a good spring to match up with them?

Yeah,they are 14x6.If you want to autocross,then get the 15x7 "is" rims.
Like previously said Tokico illuminas are the cheapest adjustable shocks out there.The bests are the yellow konis.
I used FK HiTec springs with my HP Tokico's.1.6"drop.
GOOD LUCK!

What cars had the 15x7?
