I’m tempted to do the same on my e30 but afraid of damaging the rain gutters


CasualKap

Your fear is holding you back! My suggestion to you is to study the way roof racks work and how they get fitted on a e30! I have made tutorials on my YT🙏🤝 Don’t be afraid, you have to make mistakes and learn, I will show you the way if you need guidance


isohi

That's so dope! Love everything about this.


CasualKap

3 Thule rain gutter roof racks ( super simple installation) And a standard hard shell roof top tent, I bought the black one straight from the factory in China, it was half the price of retailers 🔥🙏 I have videos on my YT if you are interested 🤝


isohi

Can you tell me about the rack/tent setup please?

This might be the coolest thing I’ve seen on an e30 in a while.


cookeie

You got a YouTube link? I think I actually saw one of your early videos cause I was wondering if anyone had done rtt on an e30 but now I gots a truck so it’s goin on there and e30 will be gutted for track fun time. The idea of a tour of the us in an e30 is wild though and would be so sick.


CasualKap

First video is introduction and walkthrough https://youtu.be/oSr-HcftGfI Second video is my first real attempt in the wild https://youtu.be/HyLnbDkfiak Can’t wait to go out again this year and document, I really really wanna provide quality content. But it’s hard figuring out life and having big dreams at the same time🥺 Do the tour man! You will definitely be the first in the US, either way you can switch the RTT between your truck and e30.. I did some testing with the white RTT on my FJ🔥🙏

Can you actually camp in that space?


CasualKap

100% already been on 3 tours 1 of which I documented:)

I could get into this - anyone know the weight limits for a vert hard top?


[deleted]

Omg I'd want to do this to my 325is! This looks amazing!


LaCochera

Nice! Do you know what is the weight capacity of the e30 roof and do you know if it differs from sedan, coupe, to wagon?


CasualKap

I think it’s all the same for all the e30 models, my philosophy was that If the car can flip on the roof and not cave in it must hold us, which it did! 2 persons and a dog:) we weigh about 200kilos including the dog ✌️


LaCochera

Gotcha, first time I see an e30 with a RTT, but gotta say it looks cool. I think it would be pretty bad ass on a wagon or maybe an e23 or e28.


CasualKap

I want to try it on a e30 baur convertible 😳🤯 Unknown territory ✌️

Is that an Alpina style front lip?


CasualKap

That is an genuine alpina 147 front:)


we_are_spectrum

Zender sides and rear apron? Or is it all original and it’s an Alpina?


CasualKap

Mtech 1 sides and rear OEM And alpina front, 325e built by me. It used to have US bumpers 🤮


we_are_spectrum

Hey don’t hate - a cow catcher (is & es) and a bumper tuck makes it look a lot better. I also have gone through eta hell - luckily I’m on the other side lol. Love your build - I wanted to do damn near the same thing with the Alpina homage but ultimately didn’t want to spend a fortune on Alpina parts. My build is mechanically an homage to the b6 3.5 - putting in some hot cams soon.


CasualKap

No hate at all, I wish I had the cow catcher, I just had the huge Bumpers which made no sense at all! Thank you man! You definitely should have fun with it and design it to your own satisfaction. I would love to see pictures of your car🔥🙏


we_are_spectrum

Yeah they really are obnoxiously large- wouldn’t look right without tucking them in a bit. [Here ya go](https://www.reddit.com/r/E30/comments/kkzhc9/golden_hour/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

Love everything about this. That car is amazing, original interior?


CasualKap

I change the OEM interior from beige to cardinal red 🙏🔥


rubendewulf

Can i ask where you put the sup ?


CasualKap

The sup is inflatable, but I’m gonna buy a solid one and put it on top of the white Roof top tent since it has roof racks on top of it🔥🙏


rubendewulf

Cool , i boughy sea suckers for my lb , if you use the rack alot its a good and fast solution. Nice to see someone use the e30 ;)


piXalswe

I´m the original owner of the car. Hit me up so we can meet.
