New to the BMW World.

[Classic E]

I guess this is somewhat of an introduction, coming from the Volkswagen world this is all generally new to me so bare with me. 3 months ago I picked up a 1990 BMW 325iX with 295,000KM on the clock. Overall the car is in good shape and I am looking forward to bringing it back to its OEM state plus some other extras that I may see fit. Here are some photos of it currently.






And here is one of the VW.

Welcome to r3v and e30's.

Thanks, I now realize there is a section to post up threads like these.

Welcome buddy!


:D

Went and took some shots with an actual camera, tell me what you guys think.

Welcome! Looks pretty clean except for the front end? I vote to fix the kidney grill. Other than that, look forward to some snow! 5-speed?

[Classic E]

Yea the front end is missing some of the lower accessories such as the fog lights and lower lip. I'm currently searching for these locally so the front end can look complete. Yes it is a five speed. I am really excited to see how it handles in the winter conditions we get up here and I imagine it will not disappoint.

Things I should note just for personal reference is the windshield has been changed, new wiper relay, replaced PO's "custom" valve cover breather hose with OEM one, common bulb change, oil change, and air filter change.

Spoiler is awesome

Spoiler is awesome

Spoiler needs to go. Sedans with spoilers do not look right, especially high profile aftermarket spoilers such as this one. Congrats on the iX and welcome to E30 madness!

Welcome, looking good. Love the IX. Hit me up if you need parts for your car.

Really? I'm getting mixed reviews about it. I actually don't mind it and the fact the PO drilled holes in the lid makes me want to leave it for the time being.

I think it'd be OK if the car wasn't totally bone stock. Personally, I don't see what being a 4 door has to do with it - all E30s were sedans, anyway. it's an E30 specific peice at least, not some generic ebay wing. the kidney definitely needs to go though, lol. :)

I think your white balance is off :)

Shy of that, love the car. I basically have the same thing. Get a front lip and set of foglights for that badboy and you'll be doing very nice.

Haha I tried my best, I'm not really a photographer. Ill get my brother to get out there and snap some photos once I clean it again. We got a good foot of snow this week so I have been focusing on just cleaning up the garage a bit in order to potentially throw this in it. I have done 4 cars in it before. Its super tight but they fit.

As for the kidney grill in order to save face and not sound like a noob, ill search that. I might see if I can source a gently owned lower valance. I'm in no rush to get parts, but I would like to have some stuff done to it so I could autocross it by this summer. :p
