well i just purchased this car today and i bought it off a guy some of you may know ryan username E30M20B25 which might i add was a GREAT guy to deal with and gave me a car exactly as described. so lets get down to the fun stuff
1990 325is lots of KM but eh...
running on IE3 with koni adjustables strut bars lots of new bushings etc, MAF unit, bigger injectors etc.... lots of fun stuff that he could take pride in, and now its my turn to take pride in this beast and bring it up to max potential... as you may know he has MANY projects, where as i have just 1... so i can concentrate on this more than he could... and i hope i can produce a car that both he and I will be grealt proud of...
i still need to swap over: interior, euro peices, shadow line, and other things
i HAVE swapped over already, the wheels, fog lamp covers, and tail lamps (from smoked to all reds)
so lets get down to the fun part PICTURES

now in case you dont know Y i had to get a new project this is a reminder

so ya... hope you all enjoy

wow, found another E30 awfully fast! Must be faster than your old one eh?

Spencer · 08-10-2008, 11:24 PM

Looks like a nice car other than the rust.

Late model 325iS - great choice. m20 power!

E30M20B25 · 08-10-2008, 11:24 PM

Wow! Surprised pics went up so fast!

Thank you for the kind words Tim!

I am glad you like her! She will be a absolute blast once everything is finished!

Just let me know when you need some help and I would be more than happy to work on her with you!

Had a great time today!

And thanks again for everything!

Hey Tim, Nice car man looks good

Are you changing the shifter, interior ( I thought I read that you wanted to swap out the leather?) and bumper trim too?

Ps. What kind of Exhaust is that?

Cheers and Good luck!

Dude you just got yourself one of the sweetest E30's around town. My dad and I drove it, and it purrred... sounds great, pulls great. I would so buy that if it were for sale

redhatpat · 08-12-2008, 10:46 AM

Nice car, it's great to see you back in an e30!

Wow, that shifter.... wow!

Women must be scared to get in that car.
