Hey new on here, actually bought an 1987 325i with 140k miles on it for 900$ today. My e46 330i is done, so i figured why not start over with the best! :) ha so stoked i picked this car up. i know i have ALOT of work to do, not the best mechanic but i've picked up alot from my friends. I was wondering if anyone has any advise as to where i should start. It's auto, so i was thinking swap to a 5speed?? any advise would be awesome thank you!

Congratulations on the upgrade... haha
After you get rid of the slush box, first things on my list if they havn't been done recentley would be:
Timing belt
Water pump/gasket
All new rad/water hoses
T.stat
If you have air tools, then cam seal
Fuel filter
Valve cover gasket
Spark plugs
change all fluids
Air filter
few other things I'm probably forgetting but basically just go around the whole car and take care of the routine maintenance items as funds allow before you start looking into any performance mods. After maintenance is taken care of, suspension would've been the next thing on my list.Comment
