So i finally found a local e30 with some real promise. A friend of the family had this 87 325e 210k in a garage since 2005 after the clutch began slipping. 6 years later, i show up. Using two sets of jumper cables and a battery charger, we brought her back to life after quite a hiatus. I filled up the tires and drove it on that old gas with a mix of dry about 15miles home on about 4 cylinder.
So needless to say i had some work to do, so the next day i picked up and installed new thermostat, spark plugs, wires, bosch cap, air filter, and drained and replaced all fluids except tranny.(which is being dropped tonight) Now all 6 are firing like its 1988. btw oven cleaner works wonders on dirty engine bays
Next move is ansa exhaust, new rotors, clutch, chip, and some fuddling with the cluster which the tach and temp guage are not working.
Ive been looking for one of these for what seems like 3 years and after the tune-up i couldn't be happier... oh and i got it for 1k, owner had original bill of sale from 88 haha! plus all work completed since
If anyone has knowledge on these clusters please let me know, i am aware there's a bad ground wire but any info on where to begin would be great. Happy motoring
