    new to the e30 world

    Just picked up an 84 325e, I had a 85 535i before this. just looking for some general pointers about them, anything I should look for, be concerned about, plan to do soon if it wasnt already done, things of that nature. Any info is helpful.

        Pretty much, take what you would do to a 535i, but add a timing belt/waterpump to it.

            Don't overlook the simple stuff. Tires, alignment, new fluids, etc.

            Too many times do I see people throw new parts and mods to their car and their tires have cords showing and whatnot, but they got their lukebox installed and are collecting parts for a Turbo build.

              Already have a set of wheels for it with new tires on the way, bushings are getting done asap, and I'm bringing it to an get an alinement after the new wheels go on. But this is all good helpful reminders, thanks everyone so far
