The death of Stella the birth of Alice

[RotnE30]

My name is Andrew I've lurked around for awhile now here is my contribution.

My first e30 came in the form of a 89 325i that I picked up for 800$ and it started my addiction and love for BMW's


I had her for only a short year before incompetence and rain took her away


It was sad but it brought me closer to the SoCal scene. Many of her parts are helping other e30's live today.
Shortly after I bought a original owner 88 325is that had been abandoned at the shop I was working at.
The birth of Alice.


After a year of hoarding and a little work here she sits

nice car, strange exhaust though.

[RotnE30]

Thank you!
Yeah it was a last minute thing I sold my stromung to a spec e30 customer because he was worried about sound at Laguna seca. I was planning to have another one by the time the car was road worthy, right now the car is straight piped from the cat back.

Looks awesome.

How do you like the AKG shifter?

[RotnE30]

I really like it although it's not a AKG it's supposedly a real DTM shifter. a guy in Europe makes copies but I guess this one is the real deal? the knob and the bushings in the shifter have BMW part numbers.
