Is this Tommy's car? looks great!
A year ago, we received an odd e-mail from a reader. He had an old BMW sitting in his driveway and wanted to get rid of it. He knew we liked them, and he wanted to know if we wanted it. We thought it over and said we’d take it, even if we didn’t know what to do with it.
So the car was brought home, and it wasn’t quite pristine. The passenger-side door had been hit, the left fender was peeling primer, and the deck lid and left rear quarter were rusted out. The car had no brakes, and the interior was trashed. The fact that the car barely ran was icing on the cake.
We took the car even with these faults in mind, and we’ve been working on it for a solid year. The body and drivetrain have undergone vast improvements. Today, the car almost the same as when it came out of the showroom. Now it’s ready to be modified for weekend autocrossing and track days.

Yep, it's mine. Thanks.
The car looks great, nice work! I look forward to reading about it.
I'm jealous, big time.
Good job. E-30s are great cars, and it's nice to see one saved.
