    I'm not crazy about the stanceworks wheel/tire combination but otherwise it looks pretty nice.

    It does annoy me when auctions put M3 in the title for no reason...I was hoping to see something under the hood rather than the stock baby six engine.

    Why do all that work and keep rear drums. They also did a nice job on sliding in that the wheels are extra lol

    still, that car looks a-freakin-mazing. I think the stance looks just right. No ZOMFGWHEELTUCKANDCAMBER Yo!!111!, no stupid bike rack and rusted hood... just the right flare and ride height. Looks great IMHO.

    I forgot to mention how much I love it. It's amazing.

    Aside from the gold on the wheels I think it looks just right.

    The car, like most all e30s has rear disc brakes. The drums you see are the parking brake.

    From the questions section:

    Q: you sell a car with a woman? or a car is sold separately? Jul-13-11 A: the woman is a lot more money, requires frequent expensive maintenance and constant costly upgrades, I don't think you are looking for this particular model,

    Pretty funny.

    yes.. BMW tucks the handbrake INSIDE the hat of the rear disks.. pretty nice system really.

    I like it.. and the girl (just saying) and while those rims could use more meat on them (the girl doesn't need any more meat on her) I would drive it.

    Wow 16.5k and it doesn't even come with the wheels. I would think you could buy a nice real M3 for that money.

    Likewise, I'd rather an M3 or a more performance oriented build for similar money. Still, it's pretty berkeleying cool. I love that style.

    Seems like they just did a really nice refresh of a decent car with minimal upgrades, either that or I am just jaded by the fact that labor is "free" on challenge cars.

    Edit-a much better performing and just as good looking version of that car could easily be built with used parts on a challenge budget.

    Vlad has built some cool cars over the years. This one seems to be the least modified. But thats just way to much money.
