Thanks for visiting E30 Update!

Keeping the E30 alive has become a pastime, passion and profession for many. But with each passing year it gets harder and harder as OEM products start to become extinct, and aftermarket suppliers move on to more profitable models. Fortunately there are technologies becoming available to car enthusiasts that can help us re-create virtually any part that is no longer available or never was as a single piece. Of course, I'm talking about 3D printing. 

Additive manufacturing is getting mature enough that it is beginning to make sense in a number of automotive repair and customization applications. The most common of which I have found, is in situations where one part in an assembly breaks, and there is no way to get the broken part other than buying the entire assembly it was a part of. Sometimes these assemblies can cost hundreds of dollars, but the broken part is just a small piece of plastic or metal.

With 3D printing, we have been able to not only replace the broken parts at a reduced cost to the assembly, but replace with a superior part. We have several projects completed or on track to getting started and several more ideas for future projects, so stay tuned for future updates. And if you have a RAD idea for an E30 update, let us know, and maybe we can get it on the list for you! 

Happy motoring!
