Wow, what an awesome rebuild!
Rich, love everything you've done to Kylie! And the engine swap looks very clean. I have an S14 Engine and its quick already, but this! Also, some very nice other E30 in here, so I thought I might show mine as well. Its a 320is which was only sold in Italy. Its a regular 325 2-door body with M-Technic body kit and a S14 engine reduced to 2000cc. It also has the 5 Speed dogleg Getrag gearbox. Only 2500 units were built as the 2-door version. Added some BBS RS 3-piece wheels and some minor mods, like Z3 shifter for shorter throws. I also had the steering wheel refurbished, but opted for normal BMW leather with ///M-stitching. Its nice and thick now! As someone pointed out earlier, I might go down the E36 steering rack route soon. It only has 3.5 turns lock to lock opposed to 4.5 turns on standard E30 steering. Much more direct and cheap, too! I had the engine completly rebuilt over the winter due to a water damage caused by a blown (unnoticed) head gasket. Another € 6,000 down the drain, but well worth it!

Now this is how I would like my E30 to turn out someday. Mine is also alpine white with the basket weave BBS wheels, so it makes it easy for me to visualize.

E30 is still, in my opinion, the best looking 3 series
