Hey guys, hows it going.
Just picked up 2 E30's for a project car, a 86 Drop Top 325i and a 87 325eS.
I got them pretty cheap, b/c they are a little rough plus only the white one runs. It has a misfire and needs a radiator hose while the Red car floods and the owner couldn't figure out why, killing the starter trying to start it. I will prob. end up parting the white one out, b/c I mainly want the red one to make into a auto-x car.
I found out after I bought it, supposedly the 325es has a somewhat rare body kit on it, I guess its a BBS kit from what I have been reading, not 100% sure. I'm going to start off trying to get it to run and then go from there, replacing the suspension bushings, and doing the small stuff first.
Anyways, I am new to BMW's, I owned a good amount of F-body's including cam'd LS1's etc., Sentra SE-R's, Altima SE-R, Mustang, etc. so I am new to this and I have a lot to learn. I know a few guys that have E30's and other BMW's that have been giving me pointers and showed me this site.
I'm sure I'll be around a lot getting info and posting progress. Thanks guys!
Here are some quick pictures I took after spraying off the red one.
