Off-topic, yes, but I can't resist...

Its a dream!! Sexy as hell!

 
No disrespect intended for those who find these attractive, as there's no accounting for my very poor taste, but I always thought they looked like someone applied a bolt-on fender flare kit - without the bolts. I'm literally irritated when I look at how the flares terminate at the "stock" door skins.  Again, it's just my opinion, but to my eye, it cheapens the marque and is unworthy of the engineering that lies within.

Design wise, there are any opinions and most will be true (As an architect I know).
As a machine though... its definitely a dream! :)

  i'm officially re-renaming this thread into:
 
"(don't) Show us your BMW at it's pre-21st centaury state. No new pictures please... btw where do you plug your headphones !?!"

I think there's a set of connections in the engine bay somewhere. Just put speaker taps on the battery poles and BAM! You're in business. Maybe it's enough to drive a pair of HE-6s correctly.

Hmm... the battery puts out 12V DC... my Nuforce Icon amp needs 12-15V input and pumps out 24W for my HE-6...

Solution: Get another E 30, run the batteries in parallel. Balanced Auto-Amp. I think I've just predicted the future of headfi.

= Dynamics, Pacing, Low-End Oomph.
 
The perfect answer for the HE-6 sounding somewhat anemic underpowered.

Downside is you need sealed headphones to block the motor noise.

Eh. I'll just plug-in one of those newfangled noise attenuators everyone packages with their universal IEMs nowadays.

  Speaking of combining Head-Fi and the E-30 M3 pay attention to the poster above my dorm room setup.
 

 
It's like 3 degrees of Kevin Bacon, but with headphones and the M3.

Wait, is that avery's other LCD-3? Also, I realize that I missed the opportunity to call the E30 setup a "dual monoblock" system. Dangit xD
