BMW e30

[JasonC]

I built this about 4 years ago. As anyone who has built this model before, they know it sucks in the detail department... I added LEDs for the headlights and tail lights. The wheels are from a Dodge Daytona kit, and the front airdam is from a BMW e24 kit along with the pin stripes. I can't remember what kit the rear apron is off of. Maybe the Fujimi Hartge BMW e30. i did a quick search and didn't see many of this kit posted. So i thought i'd toss mine up.

First picture is to show what it looks like in light eventhough it isn't finished in it,

Now for the finished ones. They are about 2 years old though...

I kind of made the car look like a real e30 that i had

I love the body style on this year BMW, nice job.

Nice car! Beautiful build! Like the working lights.

Jason cool model and the 1:1 is simply stunning.

Cool model, it sucks this kit is so inaccurate, you've made a fine job!

Correct me if i am wrong but were these styles and years of BMW (e 30, e 32,e 34) the last true German designed cars?

[JasonC]

Thank you, and i think that Chris Bangle (an American) was the design cheif soon after these cars where done.

Very nice build, as said the lights are a nice touch. The rear lights are particularly good. I think the tool designers for the kit might have failed to appreciate that these 'boxy' BMWs have practically no straight edges on them anywhere! I've never had an E30 (yours looks nice) but I had 2 E28s and those straight lines are not as straight as they look...

This is true, the car may look like a brick at first, but get looking at it, there are a lot of rounded edges. And funny thing about this kit. The headlights has holes from the factory that the LEDs fit rite in!

These Fujimi BMW kits are horrible, unfortunately, but what you did with them lights is something else!

Are those Dutch plates on the 1:1 car, BTW?

I had a Scottish plate on it. Since i put "euro" bumpers on it, it looked odd without a tag up there. And since everyone puts a german plate on theirs, i wanted to do something a little different..

Nice job! This is one of my favorite cars. The lights are really cool.

[John Morrison]
