Azev A? Are you kidding me? Proper "old skool" and will look even better if spaced out and the car gets lowered.

@OP, had it going in anger yet? Car will be very different with the extra weight up front. Keep the pics coming!

the cross spoke bbs like on the e30 m3 evo would look a lot better

all it needs is a 318i badge on the boot

and stock wheels

Must say I don't like those wheels either, but that's my opinion, the car itself does look nice though.
Gonna be an entertaining drive with that much power! Got any plans for the interior?

the wheels are gay. ive always liked that shape 3 series, keep it std so its a sleeper!

what bhp does it have now?

Skilid · 26 Apr 2012 at 16:01

Don't like the alloys at all. Thing they make it look like a cheap tuner car.

Rest of it is awesome though

godinman · 26 Apr 2012 at 18:04

Utter awesome, I'd love to have the money, time, attention span and skill to pull something like this off.

e38 740i's are a real hoot (assuming you treat it like the rocket powered rollerskate that it feels like after an HGV!

) that e30 must be a blast!

I kinda like the wheels too tbh

Love it!

[generic my subjective opinion is categorically right post]

helpimcrap · 26 Apr 2012 at 21:14

you had me at V8!

alexthecheese · 26 Apr 2012 at 21:25

Wheels are a definite no-no for me. Really chavtastic.

Love the way the voluptuous engine bay though. :cool:

jellybeard999 · 26 Apr 2012 at 21:59

Sorry, I hate the wheels too. Car's looking good though, once it gets finished up

The various OEM BBS E30 wheels look much more contemporary IMO.

phi1 · 26 Apr 2012 at 23:43

I can't put stock wheels on anymore due to the large 4 pots under the front wheels, interior plans are e46 m3 interior. I am just going through the final testing stages but I must say it is so much fun to drive I really do enjoy it! I will have to come to my first OCUK motors meet in it!

When do we get to see the write up?

Cupra · 29 Apr 2012 at 17:41

why does this car scream patrick swayze?

Fuzz · 29 Apr 2012 at 17:47

Two photos and a sentence does not a write up make!
phi1, you have a lot to learn young padawan!

Was looking forward to this thread as well.

yet you could not read the 2 sentences?

Freefaller · 29 Apr 2012 at 19:13

I don't like the wheels either, but I love the car. Look forward to seeing more of it! :cool:

TripleT · 29 Apr 2012 at 19:50

Wheels are hateful imo too. But the rest of the car makes up for it is you really had to give it to me...

Ben Cole · 29 Apr 2012 at 20:23

Thanks. Been waiting since you mentioned it in the other thread (where some people mistook it for a typo

)

naefeart · 29 Apr 2012 at 21:57

Chap shoe horns a v8 into an E30 and most of the comments are about how people don't like the alloys, lol.

Some people are hard to please.

Looking forward to more info.

Oh and I remember when Azevs As were the wheels to have, I still like them
