This is only the second video of yours I've seen. I just watched the video where you go over what everything cost. I'm in the market for an e30 at the moment... or maybe an e28, it's a tough choice! Yours is DEFINITELY the classiest, nicest one I've seen so far. I love the paint color, the white engine bay, the burgundy interior, all of it. Seriously well done man!

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thanks so much!

[@JustRomz]

Really appreciate the build I've started working on my interior in the last month.... currently based in Zimbabwe. I also have a black roof lining too and I'm using e46 seats in my car with standard rear seats mines also a coupe

This is the ideal approach I want to take one day with an E30, same bergundy colour as well, but I'd be more meticulous and go the "luxury" route that modern bmw's are known for, in terms of the materials and dashboard. But I love the decisions you made with it.

Great job on the interior. Sooooooo clean! My E30 convertible already has a custom interior, but it's getting raggedy. I'm peeling the vinyl off the cards as we speak. Looks like who ever did the mod didn't remove the original vinyl, just went over it with new vinyl. But, putting another layer of vinyl on the card....meh How did you approach reupholstering the cards?

Hey wow! What a nice interior! Question: where did you put the other stuff from the middle section - the AC / fan panel, switches etc? Look amazing just the stereo...

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thank you! Currently the car doesn’t have AC or heat. I set the car up so it could have a heater, but it really doesn’t need one as it’s only a summer car

[@Chryco_5126]

No Heat !! I had the heated seats on year round in my truck when I lived there .

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Haha 😂 there was a couple days I wish I had a heater for sure

[@playordie7557]

Awesome video man! I was thinking about putting e36 sports seats in my e30 but now I'm certain! Did you make your own brackets since the e36 seats dont fit directly into the e30 or did you buy aftermarket ones?

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thanks! For my car I drilled holes through the floor and welded in studs for the seats, that way they sit as low as possible. But you could make some adapter plates too. I think garagistic sells some seat adapter plates although they’re pretty pricey

[@ssDIYm5m]

Interior is fantastic and bmw e30!!!👍

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thank you!

[@mythos000000025]

Awesome car and swap, personally I'm doing what will probably be a turbo stroked to 6.0L ls swap in my fd3s. This car is very nice and clean, props to you both. I only wish(even living in PNW) that you kept the a/c, but that delete plate is a nice addition. I agree on the gouges, I'm looking at custom speedhut set for my car to fit in the factory cluster. I do wish someone made a custom round digital gage that could be personalized but oh well. What are you doing for the factory fd3s dash with the v10?

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thanks so much! We’re planning to keep the factory cluster in the Rx7.

[@slavicpavlenko8227]

how did you get your door cards to match your seats? you have a video on that?

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

When I ordered my seat covers from Lseat, I ordered some extra fabric. Then got a local upholsterer to make up some little door panels that I glued to the door cards

[@pbpx]

You can mod those radios to invert them and change it to the proper orange. I took mine apart and painted over the unnecessary writing on it to. Looks completely OEM now!

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Oh neat idea!

Interior came out really nice bro! Like the way you made the interior stand out with the exterior color. I was going to ask you how you did your heater setup? I’m currently working on this and I’m always open to new ideas. Thanks!

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

Thanks! I didn’t have a heater in my car, but I was considering using a vintage air heater set up. They have a really small heater that would fit nicely under the e30 dash and just has a vent or feet option

How much meters of sound deadening will I need for a E30 4 door? Also what thickness? 1.8mm is too thick?

[@slightlyMADcustoms]

I’m sorry I don’t exactly remember how much I used. You can roughly measure your floor pan with a tape measure, also get some for the door panels and even the roof. I like my sound deadening like I like my girls: thiccc. As long as the thickness won’t interfere with the functionality or mounting of anything I would go as thick as possible. It will give you a quiet more comfortable ride

It’s tricky cause they’re getting so rare. Biggest thing is be patient. Don’t get too excited and get your heart set on one specific one for sale. Bring a friend with you to look at E30s that will tell you if you’re being emotional about it. AVOID RUST AT ALL COSTS.
