New pickup, daily driver

Well, since basically the show scene is dead I finally started getting my head straight to finally finish up school. So I sold all the cars and last week, I wasn't even looking for an E30 but while browsing craigslist I found this one at a local dealer, so I went and took a look at it and picked it up. All original, 1992 325i M-Tech II Vert with 120k miles. New bushings, shocks, soft top, hoses, glass and a lot of other items. For the people that know me, they know how clean condition all of my cars have been, so the cleanliness of this e30 shouldn't be a surprise :).

I'm just going to keep it simple daily driver with KW Variant I and BBS RS/RM or Borbet's, example below. Feel free to show me any other examples.

I have a buddy that has been shopping around for one of these. Is this the one from that dealership off of Beach somewhere? I remember him telling me about it...

Should be a nice project when finished!

Easy to get low, but the oil pan is ridiculously low! Ways to compensate, highest spring rates with highest dampening settings.
