1985 325i question and hello all

[Route36VT]

Hey, I was going to wait until I had some jpegs of my car to post, but I'll do that when I have an internet connection at home...and a camera...and a computer. For now I'll just do this at work. I bought my first e30 not long ago, a 1985 325i. PO bought this car new in Germany, and I couldn't help but notice that when I get onto Pelican or bavauto or any parts store, the 325i wasn't available in the US until '87. So I don't know if anyone here would know this, but are there any significant differences between the '85 Euro 325i and the '87 US 325i? Is there already a thread about this? I haven't been able to find one.

Some part are the same, some are different. The engine ITSELF is very much like to our 87i, but the electronics are more like the 86-87 325e. Chassis, all the same.

Cool car, post pics soon
