New E30 owner

[JEvins55]

I just recently became the proud owner of my first E30. I have to tell you I am already impressed with the cars power & handling ability. Being new to these cars I was just wondering if there is any thing specific I should look out for? Already did belts, hoses, valve adjustment, fliuds, filters & other maint. stuff. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks.

Welcome to r3vlimited!

Mainly the 325 just needs a timing belt every 60k, a valve adjust every 30, and you're good to go. The eta engine is pretty much bulletproof and will run almost forever!

Other things you can wait until they start making noises. I'd change the waterpump with the timing belt service, and change the radiator maybe every 100k or so.

Check out your fan clutch as well. You have to take it off anyway with the timing belt and water pump change.
