H-M:s e30 325iX

[H-M]

Hello everyone,

I've been following the forum for quite a while now. I have earlier had e30 320i convertible and after that quite a bit of BMWs and one ALPINA (B3 e46) as well. But now it seems I'm settled for e30s and bought two straight away - one for harsh Finnish winter and another for the summer. With my 325iX I was deeply influenced with audiquattrot's 325iX as well as his dedication and enthusiasm as I think many others here as well - brilliant car!

My 325iX is a 1989 one and has currently bit over 90 thousand miles on it and the 318i (1993) cab has only 40 thousand miles. The 325iX will stay as it is (just out of the rust proofing etc) and the 318iC will probably get is-lip in black as well as the 15" ALPINA style e21 wheels (not actually the correct era, but close enough :)). 325iX is lazurblau and the 318iC is brillantrot.

Now for a couple of pictures (sorry for the convertible pics as they are taken in the garage - it is almost a winter over here....). The last one is almost the current status of the iX with is lip but still missing the iX 15" style 5 wheels that I recently acquired:

Lazur Blue 4 door? I grew up in one that my parents bought from a dealer in 1992.

A wonderful collection. IX is stunning, but that red car in immaculate.

Just a quick couple of pics, phone quality. Anybody have an idea whether I should try 12mm spacers for those iX offset 41 wheels of which I have now 8 :) Hard to find those are... Also thinking about lowering with the H&Rs and Konis/Bilstein HDs, let's see... To lower or not, opinions? Cabriolet will stay as it is.

Funny, you have 8 et41s and here I am struggling to find 4! Great looking cars tho! BTW any chance you can show more photos of your Alpina B3?

Yes, it has not been easy to find ET41s. And I had to pay some real money as well :)

I don't know if I am allowed to include e46 here, but some pictures:

beautiful cars man! I love that ix color!

any interior pics for the ix?

[H-M]

Crappy rubber mats there :) Fabric mats are on order... :) As well as OEM leather handbrake boot and e36/e32 handbrake handle. They should work together. I have fabric for refurbishing the seats as well. They are not bad, but not perfect either.
